Goldfinger: a non-anthropomorphic, dextrous robot hand

Proceedings 1999 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.99CH36288C), 2003
In this paper, we describe the hardware and control architecture of a novel four-fingered dextrous robot hand. The benefits of the unusual arrangement of the fingers (which resembles that in raptors and other birds) in the hand are discussed. Kinematic models for the fingers and transmission system are presented.

Power grasp planning for anthropomorphic robot hands

2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2012
This paper presents an approach for computing power grasps for hands with kinematic structure similar to the human hand, which allows the implementation of strategies inspired in human grasping actions. The proposed method first samples the object surface to look for the best spots for creating an opposing grasp with two or three fingers, and then ...

Design of a Dexterous Anthropomorphic Robot Hand

Transactions of the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers A, 2006
According to the study of grasping of the human hand, it is noted that the metacarpal link of the thumb plays the key role in power grasping. Also the face of fingertip can be discriminated into five parts depending on the grasping modalities such as pinch grasp, fingertip grasp and power grasp.

Kinematic Analysis of an Anthropomorphic Robot Hand

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
There has been a continuous effort by researchers to develop multi-fingered robot hands for variety of applications. Some of these hands are meant for industrial applications while thers are used for orthopedic rehabilitation of humans. However the degree of success to develop an anthropomorphic robot hand in close resemblence with a typical human hand

UTHM HAND: Kinematics behind the Dexterous Anthropomorphic Robotic Hand

2012
This paper describes a novel wireless robotic hand system. The system is operated under master-slave configuration. A human operator tele-operates the slave robotic hand by wearing a master glove embedded with BendSensors. Bluetooth has been chosen as the communication medium between master and slave.

Manipulation strategy for an anthropomorphic robotic hand

2004 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37566), 2005
This work presents a manipulation strategy for a anthropomorphic robotic hand based on the use of distinct model topologies and the analytical solution for the inverse kinematics. To evaluate the approach a pencil handling example is implemented using the Brazilian Anthropomorphic Hand - BRAHMA, a five fingers artificial robotic hand with 22 degree of ...

An optical joint position sensor for anthropomorphic robot hands

2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2013
This paper presents the design of an optical position sensor integrated into a miniaturized tendon-driven robotic joint. The sensor exploits the modulation of the light power flux that goes from an infrared Light Emitting Diode (LED) to a PhotoDiode (PD) by means of a variable-thickness canal integrated into the joint itself to detect the joint ...

Mapping human hand fingertips motion to an anthropomorphic robotic hand

2017 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2017
The mapping of the human intention to a dexterous anthropomorphic robotic hand is still an open issue among researchers. The complexity behind this problems comes mainly from three factors: the kinematics differences between the users and the robotic hand(s); the differences in size and motion capabilities among different users hands; and the high ...

Grasp Database Generator for Anthropomorphic Robotic Hands

2015
Grasp databases can be useful for data-driven grasp synthesis algorithm or benchmarking grasp quality metrics. This paper presents an algorithm to produce a grasp database for anthropomorphic robotic hands. The method can generate different types of grasps from the human grasp taxonomy, it relies on the notion of hand preshapes.
