Reader Submitted: This 3D Printed Humanoid Robot is Learning Sign Language to Support the Deaf Community
Posted in: Uncategorized3D Hubs recently worked with a team of students (Project Aslan) from the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Through 3D printing, Project Aslan is able to create a 3D printed robot capable of translating text (soon speech) into sign language that otherwise would not be as affordable or accessible with other production technologies. The lack of sign language interpreters continues to be a global issue that’s not being tackled. Now with the potential of this low-cost robot, more people can get the support they need as it develops.
Here’s a video of the project.
