Bioinspired fingertip for anthropomorphic robotic hands
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND: An artificial fingertip with mechanical features and appearance similar to the human fingertip could represent a significant step forward towards the development of the next generation artificial hands. However, so far, a fingertip showing a good trade-off among mechanical features, appearance and anthropomorphism, along with its 3D computational model, is still

An Object-Based Approach to Map Human Hand Synergies onto Robotic Hands with Dissimilar Kinematics
Robotic hands differ in kinematics, dynamics, programming, control and sensing frameworks. Borrowing the terminology from software engineering, there is a need for middleware solutions to control the robotic hands independently from their specific structure, and focusing only on the task. Results in neuroscience concerning the synergistic organization of the human hand, are the theoretical foun...
متن کاملRobot Finger Design for Developmental Tactile Interaction: Anthropomorphic Robotic Soft Fingertip with Randomly Distributed Receptors
The developmental approach enables us to build adaptive robots, and furthermore, to understand the essence of intelligence from the constructivist viewpoint. In this paper, a new design principle for tactile sensors is proposed to investigate and to utilize developmental processes of robots. Based on the design principle, an anthropomorphic fingertip is developed. The fingertip is made of soft ...
متن کاملGrasping 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...

How functional versatility emerges in vertebrate limbs in spite of their anatomical complexity is a longstanding question. In particular, fingers are actuated by numerous muscles pulling on tendons following intricate paths. In contrast, the tendon-driven robotic hands with intuitive tendon routings preferred by roboticists for their ease of analysis and control do not perform at the level of t...
متن کاملThe Role of Morphology of the Thumb in Anthropomorphic Grasping: A Review
The unique musculoskeletal structure of the human hand brings in wider dexterous capabilities to grasp and manipulate a repertoire of objects than the non-human primates. It has been widely accepted that the orientation and the position of the thumb plays an important role in this characteristic behavior. There have been numerous attempts to develop anthropomorphic robotic hands with varying le...
