Target-Mass Grasping of Entangled Food Using Pre-Grasping & Post-Grasping

Extending fingertip grasping to whole body grasping

Grasping neurones

We agree with Robertson that our new view on grasping is a description of motor behaviour rather than offering any insight into the nature of the neural processing underlying this behaviour. However, neurophysiologists might be inspired by our new view to ask other questions, do other experiments, and analyse these differently. In this way, they could generate new insights about the neural cont...

Grasping Complexity

The century of complexity has come. Many people write and speak about complexity. The statement of the great physicist Stephen Hawking, “I think the next century will be the century of complexity,” in his ‘millennium’ interview on January 23, 2000 (San Jose Mercury News) became a widely cited prophecy. The face of science has changed (see cartoon in Fig. 1). Surprisingly, when we start asking a...

Grasping of Unknown Object Imitating Human Grasping Reflex

This paper presents a grasping strategy of unknown objects imitating human grasping reflex for anthropomorphic robot hands. In the proposed grasping, each joint of the thumb and the fingers is controlled independently using the contact force affecting its adjacent fingertip side link. By setting a suitable contact force, both fingertip grasping and enveloped grasping with uniform grasping force...
