چکیده

A virtual robot teaching that consists of human demonstration and motion-intention analysis in a virtual reality environment is an advanced technology of automatic programming for multi-fingered robots. As the type of virtual hand model displayed on-screen, a human-hand model is better than a robot-hand model in terms of teaching time and a stable manipulation of virtual object. However it may occurs that robot cannot grasp an object at a teaching position and orientation of the robot hand because a geometrical size and motional function of the robot hand is not same as that of the human hand. To solve this problem, we propose a virtual teaching based on hand manipulability, in which a position and orientation of the robot hand is determined so as to maximize a manipulability of the robot hand on the condition that the robot grasps the object at the teaching contact points on the object. Experimental results of a pick-and-place task are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Grasp analysis of a four-fingered robotic hand based on Matlab simmechanics

The structure of the human hand is a complex design comprising of various bones, joints, tendons, and muscles functioning together in order to produce the desired motion. It becomes a challenging task to develop a robotic hand replicating the capabilities of the human hand. In this paper, the analysis of the four-fingered robotic hand is carried out where the tendon wires and a spring return me...

Mixed Control of Multi-fingered Haptic Interface Robot with Operator’s Uneasy Feeling in Mind

Abstract— This paper presents a mixed control of multi-fingered haptic interface robot consisting of a 6 DOF arm and a 15 DOF hand. The interface is placed opposite the human hand and presents force and tactile feeling to the fingertips. In order to reduce the uneasy feeling in the operator, a mixed control consisting of a finger force control and an arm position control intended to maximize th...

Real-Time Grasp Planning for Multi-Fingered Hands by Finger Splitting

Grasp planning for multi-fingered hands is computationally expensive due to the joint-contact coupling, surface nonlinearities and high dimensionality, thus is generally not affordable for real-time implementations. Traditional planning methods by optimization, sampling or learning work well in planning for parallel grippers but remain challenging for multifingered hands. This paper proposes a ...

Multi-Fingered Grasping and Manipulation in Virtual Environments Using an Isometric Finger Device

In this article we present a new isometric input device for multi-fingered grasping in virtual environments. The device was designed to simultaneously assess forces applied by the thumb, index, and middle finger. A mathematical model of grasping, adopted from the analysis of multi-fingered robot hands, was applied to achieve multi-fingered interaction with virtual objects. We used the concept o...
