About
YEAH is an open-source tendon-driven robotic hand project from an independent developer team in Italy, originally known as Rebelia. It was created for robotics labs, makers, and prosthetic exploration, with a design centered on a 5-finger, 15-degree-of-freedom hand platform.
The hand is lightweight at about 0.35 kg and uses tendon actuation to achieve its motions. I do not have enough reliable information to state a founding year, release year, or any discontinuation date for the project.
