The Human Hand Movement Emulator (H2ME) combines concepts of Mechanical and Electronics Engineering to form a robotic emulator hand, that can grip, move and perform similar tasks as done by a human hand at places that are inaccessible or not fit for the human hand.
Background:
IIT Kharagpur started its Technology General Championships from the academic year 2003-04.
Under these chapionships, in all 3 events were held. First was the Product Design competition christened 'Pi', held in the Spring Semester of 2003-2004.
The next two, Hardware Exhibition Competition (Xi) and Hardware Gaming Competition (Chi) were held together in the spring semester during Kshitij, the annual techno-management fest of IIT Kharagpur.
My team had participated in the Hardware Exhibition competition for which we had made the H2ME.
Alongwith this event we also participated in the TechDarshan, an All-India level product exhibition held as a part of Kshitij and had won the 1st prize in it.
The Team:
We named our team "Analog is Art".
The team consisted of the following 5 of us:
(The positions are mentioned as of Sept. 2004)
R. Yogesh Kumar (Yogi) (B.Tech. (E & ECE), PGM, Batch of 2004. Currently in MIT) - Captain

Pranay Kishore (4th Year, B.Tech. (Aerospace Engg.))
Amit Gupta (3rd year, B.tech. (Civil Engg.))
Siddharth Seth (3rd Year, B.Tech. (E & ECE))
The Presentation:
I have made a .pdf file for the presentation which was made to the judges explaining the main points of our 'product'.
It can be viewed here. A powerpoint presentation is also available for view here.
