Development of a Four-Fingered Dexterous Robot End Effector for Space Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the development of a tendon-driven, multi-fingered dexterous robot hand for space operations. This hand can achieve cylindrical grasps while producing a holding strength necessary for grasping several crew aids, tools (CATs) and interfaces. The design is based on grasping requirements for 242 CATs and interfaces found in the extravehicular activity (EVA) Tools and Equipment Reference Book. The results of this study show that over 50% of the required grasps are cylindrical, and that it may be possible for a three-fingered hand to achieve over 90% of these grasps. Further tests are implemented to show that tendon tensions agree with the predicted kinematic model.

Kinematic 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 ...

In present study, dynamic modeling and control of a tethered space robot system in trajectory tracking of its end effector is investigated. Considering variation of the tether length in the model, dynamics of the system is modeled using Lagrange’s method. Librational motion of the tether is controlled by adjusting the tether length similar to conventional manipulators,control of the robot...

The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...
متن کاملSimulation of Multifinger Robotic Gripper for Dynamic Analysis of Dexterous Grasping
A stable grasp can only be achieved with multi-fingered grippers. The required task for the robots has become more complicated such as handling of objects with various properties e.g. material, size, mass etc. and the physical interaction between the finger and an object has also become complicated e.g. grasping with slippage, finger gait ..... etc. This paper focuses on enhancing the grasping ...
متن کاملSimple Controllers for Dexterous Hands
Unlike pick-and-place manipulations, ne motions strategies generate movements based on sensor information to overcome mechanical and sensory uncertainties. Performing assembly operations with a dexterous hand make high demands on the controller of the robot gripper. Pre-grasping operations are highly dependent on a good position/velocity control. The control strategies for position and velocity...
