Development of Multi-fingered Hand for Life-size Humanoid Robots

Virtual Teaching Based on Hand Manipulability for Multi-Fingered Robots

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 ...

Regrasping Control by Multi-fingered Robot Hand

In this paper, a smooth regrasping control method of multi-fingered robot hand is proposed. First, four-fingered robot hand with 13 joints was built. Second, manipulation and grasping algorithm of four-fingered robot hand is easily calculated by applying the algorithm made for three-fingered robot hand to the two pairs of three-fingered robot hand. In order to reduce the vibration generated whi...

Honda humanoid robots development.

Honda has been doing research on robotics since 1986 with a focus upon bipedal walking technology. The research started with straight and static walking of the first prototype two-legged robot. Now, the continuous transition from walking in a straight line to making a turn has been achieved with the latest humanoid robot ASIMO. ASIMO is the most advanced robot of Honda so far in the mechanism a...
