Multi-Fingered Robot Hands

1992
The lack of truly dextrous end-effectors which exhibit fine manipulation under the control of multi-level strategy has certainly led to current limitations which prevent a much broader application of robots. This paper describes work which is specifically directed towards dextrous robot end-effectors, something which, in terms of a multi-fingered hand,

Optoelectronic joint angular sensor for robotic fingers

Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2009
The present paper reports the results of the development of a novel joint angular sensor conceived for integration in tendon-driven robotic hands and in data gloves used in virtual reality systems. The sensor is based on a couple LED/photodiode, mounted to two contiguous phalanges of a University of Bologna (UB) hand finger.

Robotic Arm with Finger Movement

2011
Robotic arm is an electro-mechanical system with functions similar to that of human arm. The proposed robotic arm is intelligent in the sense that it senses the movement of human arm with the help of the sensors attached to the hand and then move in accordance with it.

Five-Fingered Haptic Interface Robot: HIRO III

IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 2011
This paper presents the design and characteristics of a five-fingered haptic interface robot named HIRO III. The aim of the development of HIRO III is to provide a high-precision three-directional force at the five human fingertips. HIRO III consists of a 15-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) haptic hand, a 6-DOF interface arm, and a control system.

Robotic finger perturbation training improves finger postural steadiness and hand dexterity

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2018
The purpose of the study was to understand the effect of robotic finger perturbation training on steadiness in finger posture and hand dexterity in healthy young adults. A mobile robotic finger training system was designed to have the functions of high-speed mechanical response, two degrees of freedom, and adjustable loading amplitude and direction ...

Kinetostatic Analysis of Robotic Fingers

2007
Two main approaches dominate the literature on robotic grasping, namely, on one hand purely theoretical work on grasping and manipulation and, on the other hand, the rather intuitive design of functional prototypes. This chapter attempts to bridge this gap for the special case of underactuated fingers.

Overview of finger rehabilitation robots research

2021 36th Youth Academic Annual Conference of Chinese Association of Automation (YAC), 2021
With the advent of the aging population, post-stroke will cause hand function obstacles that affect fine manipulation of fingers. This article classifies finger rehabilitation robots and analyzes the mechanical structure, driving methods, and rehabilitation principles of Unger rehabilitation robots.

A Soft Robotic Gripper Based on Bioinspired Fingers

2021 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2021
In the past, partly due to modeling complexities and technical constraints, fingers of soft grippers are rarely driven by high number of actuators, which leads to lack of dexterity. Here we propose a soft robotic gripper with modular anthropomorphic fingers. Each finger is actuated by four linear drivers, capable of performing forward/backward bending,

Robotic gripping using soft finger tips

2017 International Conference on Innovations in Electrical Engineering and Computational Technologies (ICIEECT), 2017
This paper focuses on the grippers or end effectors that are attached with robots to interact with the environment. The analysis of the fundamental deformation of soft fingertips are discussed. In order to analyze the deformation effect, the dynamic relation of a five-fingered object manipulation using soft fingertips are explained. One way to grip the

Folding Origami by Two Robotic Fingers

Volume 5B: 39th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, 2015
Folding origami is such a challenge for robotic operation. Generally, for human, they use 2 hands when folding and forming the shape from folding pattern. However, building a robotic system which is capable of folding origami like human is not simple, since people have dozens of freedoms in their hand, sensitive skin and binocular vision. In this paper,
