Project Ock - An Open-Source Doc Ock Tentacle Robot

#Project Ock
Started in August 2024, Project Ock is an open-source project that aims to create a fully functional Doc Ock suit from mostly 3D printed parts.
###Part 1: The Tentacle
In order to accomplish a variety of tasks, the tentacle must be flexible. We made the tentacle from multiple platforms, each with 3 degrees of freedom. These platforms are a variation of the 3RPS parallel manipulator. By stacking platforms, one can obtain progressively more degrees of freedom. Currently, up to 3 modules have been tested (9DOF)
###Part 2: The Hand Controller
In order to control a high-DOF manipulator, one must have a many-axis controller. We developed a hand controller that allows one to control 7 axes with one hand using flex sensors and an IMU.
###Part 3: The End Effector
In order to establish one's dominance, a powerful and versatile end effector is needed. The end effector has 2 degrees of freedom, allowing it to reproduce most of the functionality shown in the movies.
