An integrated system for dextrous manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an integrated system for dextrous manipulation using a Utah-MIT hand that allows one to look at the higher levels of control in a number of grasping and manipulation tasks. The system consists of a number of low-level system primitives for grasping, integrated hand and robotic arm movement, tactile sensors mounted on the fingertips, sensing primitives to utilize joint position, tendon fprce and tactile array feedbzk, and a high-level programming environment that allows task level scripts to be created for grasping and manipulation tasks. A number of grasping and manipulation tasks are described that have been implemented with this system.

The Planning and Control of Robot Dextrous Manipultation
Dextrous manipulation is a fundamental problem in the study of multi ngered robotic hands. Given a robotic hand and an object to be manipulated by the hand in an environment lled with obstacles, the main objectives of dextrous manipulation are to have the hand grasp the object and transfer it from a start con guration to a goal con guration without collision. To ful ll such a task in general, w...
متن کاملDLR's Multisensory Articulated Hand - Part I: Hard- and Software Architecture
The main features of DLR’s dextrous robot hand as a modular component of a complete robotics system are outlined in this paper. The application of robotics systems in unstructured servicing environments requires dextrous manipulation abilities and facilities to perjorm complex remote operations in a vet-y jlexible way. Therefore we have developed a multisenso~ articulated four jinger hand, wher...
متن کاملLearning dextrous manipulation skills using the evolution strategy
This paper presents an approach based on the evolution strategy for autonomous learning of dextrous manipulation primitives with a dextrous robot hand. We use heuristics derived from observations made on human hands to reduce the degrees of freedom of the task and make learning possible. Our system does not rely on simulation; all the experimentation is performed the 16-degree-of-freedom Utah/M...
متن کاملLearning Dextrous Manipulation Skills for Multiingered Robot Hands
We present a method for autonomous learning of dextrous manipulation skills with robot hands. We use heuristics derived from observations made on human hands to reduce the degrees of freedom of the task and make learning tractable. Our approach consists of learning and storing a few manipulation primitives for a few prototypical objects and then using an associative memory to obtain the require...
متن کاملA discrete-event systems approach to modeling dextrous manipulation
To perform dextrous manipulation e ciently, it is necessary to coordinate the interactions of many component processes. This paper investigates one approach to coordination: discrete-event systems. The applicability of discrete-event systems to the modeling of dextrous manipulation tasks is studied. Discrete-event control theory o ers formal methods for determining whether a coordinator of the ...
