here’s how it works

SuleyNova Robotics is a hands-on robotics kit designed for curious minds who want to go beyond watching and actually build. Instead of reading about how robots work, you assemble a fully functional humanoid hand from scratch, wire it up, connect it to an Arduino and watch it come to life. Beginner friendly enough to pick up with no experience, but built on open hardware that grows with you — modify the code, hack the design, or expand with add-on kits as your skills develop.

Six servo motors pull tendon wires through each finger, curling them closed just like a real human hand. Elastic bands snap them back open. An Arduino brain controls the whole thing — plug it in via USB and it runs instantly, no coding needed.

Out of the box the hand runs a automatic sequence — it closes into a full grip, holds for 5 seconds, opens back up, waits 5 seconds, then repeats. Once you've built it and seen it move, the instructions walk you through how to modify the code yourself — change the timing, control individual fingers, or build your own sequences entirely.

 

"Note: the camera gesture control feature seen in some of our TikTok videos is part of a separate add-on kit coming soon. The base kit includes the automatic open and close sequence and full Arduino code access."

what sets suleynova robotics apart

Built to Understand, Not Just to Display

Most kits at this price are static models or basic LED projects. SuleyNova is a fully moving, programmable humanoid hand with real servo motors and modifiable code. You don't just build it — you understand how it works and you can change it.

Fraction of the Price, None of the Compromise

Most robotics kits at this level cost £150 to £300. SuleyNova gives you a fully functional humanoid robot hand with moving fingers, Arduino control and full instructions for £80. Professional quality without the professional price tag.

A Kit That Grows With You

Most robotics kits are a one time build with nowhere to go once you're done. SuleyNova is the foundation of a growing ecosystem — add-on kits with cameras, sensors and advanced features are already in development, all compatible with your base kit.

frequently asked questions

What is SuleyNova Robotics?

SuleyNova Robotics is a UK based robotics company founded by Suleyman Khan, a 17 year old engineer from Birmingham. We build affordable, hands-on robotics kits designed to make engineering accessible to everyone — whether you're a complete beginner or looking to develop your skills further. Our mission is to put real robotics in the hands of the next generation.

Do I need any experience to build this?

No experience needed at all. The kit comes with full written instructions with photos for every step, plus a video walkthrough filmed by the founder. If you can follow instructions you can build this.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The Arduino comes preloaded with code so it works straight out of the box. When you're ready to go further, the instructions walk you through exactly which variables to change and what effect they have on the hand.

What age is it suitable for?

The kit is recommended for ages 14 and above. Younger builders from age 9 can absolutely tackle it with an adult — the main requirement is curiosity and patience, not age.

When will my order arrive?

All orders ship next day from Birmingham, UK.

What do I need that isn't in the box?

Just a small Phillips screwdriver. A glue gun or super glue is optional but can help secure parts during the build for a more secure finish.

After building the hand is that it?

No after building this hand it does not end there as there will be future add on kits released that will be progressively harder so your knowledge keeps expanding and your hand keeps getting better.
