A hand operates a DIY cardboard robotic hand, gripping a clear plastic ruler against a light-colored background. The robotic hand is constructed from silver-painted cardboard, with pink and yellow straws along the fingers. White strings connect the fingers to a small cardboard box worn on the back of the hand, serving as the control mechanism. The hand is demonstrating the robotic hand's ability to grasp and hold an object. This image likely illustrates a science or engineering project demonstrating principles of robotics.
