Inventor Dean Kamen simplified his robotic arm for amputees by including only 14 degrees of freedom. His design team found that moving the pinky and ring fingers on the hand was not as necessary as movement in the rest of the hand.

6 Position the tube between the side pieces of the arm with the plunger facing away from the tower. Move it so that the end of the plunger almost touches the table when the arm is down, but the tube doesn’t hit the tower. Duct tape the tube in place between the arms. Attach the tubing coming out of the top of the tower to the tip of the syringe. Connect the other end of the same tubing to syringe #2 to make a control pump.

7 To move the arm up and t down, connect syringe #3 to the shorter piece of tubing coming out the bottom of the tower in front. Pull its plunger out almost all the way. Position the arm out straight with the plunger holding it up. Use a piece of tape to hold the pump to the tower in this position. If you use clear tape, add duct tape over the edges to keep them in place. Connect the other end of the tubing coming out the back to syringe #4 to make another control pump.
