We’ve come a long way! We are now able to control the tentacle fairly well with the Myo Band. This video was from a demo for Ben Shapiro’s Machine Learning and Human Computer Interaction class (where most of the team members are from). Myo Band control is implemented via a…

It lives! I have constructed the mechanical housing for the robotic tentacle. Here’s the general theory: Control lines are paired off by diametric opposites–that is, the symmetric opposite of one another, through the diameter of the tentacle. Each pair is fed to a single stepper motor, and is linked to…
