Grasping of Unknown Object Imitating Human Grasping Reflex

چکیده
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 are executable. Experimental results of three-dimensional unknown object grasping using an anthropomorphic robot hand, named Gifu Hand, with a distributed tactile sensor, are shown. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

Unknown Object Grasping Strategy Imitating Human Grasping Reflex for Anthropomorphic Robot Hand
This paper presents a strategy meant to allow anthropomorphic robot hands to grasp objects of unknown shape in imitation of the human grasping reflex. A 10-month-old baby may bend his/her thumb and four fingers in an attempt to grasp an object when it comes in contact with the palm. After grasping it, if the object is attempted to be removed from the baby’s hand, the baby holds the object more ...
متن کاملModifying a Conventional Grasping Control Approach for Undesired Slippage Control in Cooperating Manipulator Systems
There have been many researches on object grasping in cooperating systems assuming no object slippage and stable grasp and the control system is designed to keep the contact force inside the friction cone to prevent the slippage. However undesired slippage can occur due to environmental conditions and many other reasons. In this research, dynamic analysis and control synthesis of a cooperating ...
متن کاملHierarchical control method for manipulating/grasping tasks using multi-fingered robot hand
In this paper, we propose a hierarchical control method for manipulation/grasping tasks using multi-fingered robot hands. This method imitates human motion control. Human motion can be divided into two classes, reflex and voluntary movement. Reflex is suppressed by voluntary movement. In the proposed method, a robot hand’s grasping control corresponds to human reflex and manipulation control co...
متن کاملHandling Objects By Their Handles
This paper presents an efficient method to decide robust grasps given new objects using example-based learning. A robust grasp is a stable grasp, suitable for object manipulation. Adaptability to object manipulation is ensured by imitating the human choice of the object grasping component, its handle. Stability is obtained by computing contact points, ensuring force-closure property, on that ha...
متن کاملTowards Imitation Learning of Grasping Movements by an Autonomous Robot
Imitation learning holds the promise of robots which need not be programmed but instead can learn by observing a teacher. We present recent efforts being made at our laboratory towards endowing a robot with the capability of learning to imitate human hand gestures. In particular, we are interested in grasping movements. The aim is a robot that learns, e.g., to pick up a cup at its handle by imi...
