  • Page 48: Check It Out: Exoskeletons

    CHECK IT OUT Exoskeletons — Your cyborg hand is a machine that you can wear on your body. Therefore, you can call it an exoskeleton. Many people around the world are currently developing artificial exoskeletons because these devices could help people in a lot of different ways.
  • Page 49 — Using the Cyborg-Hand — Lobsters have a particularly hard exoskeleton Exoskeletons in the animal kindogm — Around 80 percent of all animal species havean exoskeleton! That includes all arthropods, which includes insects, spiders, crabs, and many other animals. Unlike the skeletons of vertebrates (the subphylum to which we humans belong), the skeletons of arthropods are not inside the body, but serve as protection around the body.

  • Page 50: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING If the cyborg hand’s fingers are not working, check the following: 1. Check if there is air in the G1 cylinder. If so, complete the steps on page 51. 2. Use pages 20–21 to check that the hydraulic cylinders are assembled correctly.
