Design of Non-Anthropomorphic Robotic Hands for Anthropomorphic Tasks [PDF]
In this paper, we explore the idea of designing non-anthropomorphic multi-fingered robotic hands for tasks that replicate the motion of the human hand. Taking as input data a finite set of rigid-body positions for the five fingertips, we develop a method to perform dimensional synthesis for a kinematic chain with a tree structure, with five branches ...
