Robot hand plays rock-paper-scissors

Tesollo DG-5F 20 motors Modbus-TCP RealSense + MediaPipe

Reads your hand, plays its move

A five-finger Tesollo DG-5F — twenty motors, driven over Modbus-TCP — playing rock-paper-scissors against people. A RealSense camera watches your hand, MediaPipe reads the gesture off the on-screen skeleton, and the hand answers with a move of its own.

How it works

  • Camera → MediaPipe hand landmarks → gesture class, in real time.
  • Gesture maps to a target pose; per-finger joint commands go out to the 20 motors over Modbus-TCP.
  • Five fingers, four motors each — twenty joints shaping each of the three poses.
