Dexterous Multi-fingered Robotic Manipulation using Novel Fingertip Equipped with Soft Skin and Hard Nail
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes dexterous multi-fingered manipulation using a novel fingertip equipped with a soft elastic cover and a solid nail. The soft elastic cover of the fingertip enables changing friction coefficient at the contact with an object. The solid nail enables detecting a very small step of sub-millimeter on a smooth surface.

Learning Dexterous Manipulation for a Soft Robotic Hand from Human Demonstration
Dexterous multi-fingered hands can accomplish fine manipulation behaviors that are infeasible with simple robotic grippers. However, sophisticated multi-fingered hands are often expensive and fragile. Low-cost soft hands offer an appealing alternative to more conventional devices, but present considerable challenges in sensing and actuation, making them difficult to apply to more complex manipu...
متن کاملTactile Sensing of Edge Direction of an Object using a Robotic Fingertip with Soft Skin
We propose a new method of tactile sensing for a fingertip of robotic hand. Using a simple fingertip with soft surface cover and a six-axis force/moment sensor, developed is a new function of measuring direction of edge when the fingertip contacts with an edge of the object. The developed function is useful not only to plan strategies for stable grasp and dexterous manipulation but also to reco...
متن کاملKinematic Analysis of a Dexterous Hand
Handling of objects with irregular shapes and that of flexible/soft objects by ordinary robot grippers is difficult. Multi fingered gripper may be a solution to such handling tasks. However, dexterous grippers will be the appropriate solution to such problems. Although it is possible to develop robotic hands which can be very closely mapped to human hands, it is sometimes not to be done due to ...
متن کاملMotion Analysis of Soft-Fingertip Manipulation Tasks
This paper provides a motion analysis of soft-fingertip object manipulation tasks by presenting a dynamic model of multi-fingered object manipulations with soft fingertips. It is fundamentally observed that soft fingertips employed in a multi-fingered hand generate some deformation effects during the manipulation process and also that those effects are closely related to the behavior of the man...
متن کاملA new method of tactile sensing using fingertip with soft skin
This paper describes a sensing function of a multijointed multi-fingered hand with soft fingertips. We propose a new method to detect change of contact types with an object while manipulating it: the fingertip contact with a flat surface and with a convex sharp edge. Proposed method can apply to the manipulation with rolling contact. Experimental results are demonstrated.
