Finger simulation

Projects General Guidance

Hi,

I want to simulate the pressure of a finger via a servo motor or something like that in order to activate reals pushs buttons such as those of a remote control, a clock radio or a coffee maker for examples

What type of servomotor would you advise me about the power needed for to can simulate the real pression of a finger on a button ?

The idea is something like to add an external "layer" on the top of a clock radio or a coffe maker for to can automate the needed actions necessary for to start/stop the alarm clock and/or to launch a coffee without making any modification on them (and thus do not lose the guarantee on them ...)

I have buy an set of 5x step by step motors 28BYJ-48 ULN2003 + 5x driver ULN2003 for to test if this can simulate the action of the 5 fingers of the hand on a remote control, a radio clock or a coffee maker
(only make the simulation of "clics" on push buttons, not alls analogics 3D possibilities of rotations and translations of the hand and his fingers of courses :slight_smile: )

I'd go for linear actuators instead of servos. Smaller, and the motion they produce is the motion you need (linear rather than rotating)
