About the Project

The Mini Bento is a small-scale, open-source robotic arm designed to support education, rehabilitation research, and rapid prototyping. This project is open to all students - no experience required!

What You’ll Learn

Working on the Mini Bento project, you can explore:

  • Servo-based actuation and joint control
  • Arduino-compatible firmware and software development
  • 3D-printed mechanical structures
  • Human-machine interface design

Project Sessions

At our sessions, you’ll:

  • Assemble 3D-printed Mini Bentos
  • Experiment with upgrades and modifications
  • Collaborate with other students
  • Work towards making the system clinically useful

Goals

Our aim is to make the system clinically useful and enable future medical research projects in rehabilitation and prosthetics.
