On The Design of a Hydraulically Actuated Finger For Dextrous Manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an actuator for multi-fingered grippers for industrial robots built around fluid-powered bladders enclosed within the structure of the phalanges themselves. Unlike a normal hydraulic cylinder where the available force is a function of the height and width of the phalanges, in this configuration, the force the fingers can generate becomes a function of the length and width of the phalange. The proposed design is mechanically simple with all actuation elements contained within the phalanges themselves, and has minimal moving parts. This paper presents the dynamic and static characteristics of a finger built from three of these actuators, and simulation results show that the fingertip forces the proposed fingers can generate make them suitable for application in an industrial environment.

Optimization of fuzzy controller for an SMA-actuated artificial finger robot
The purpose of this paper is to design and optimize an intelligent fuzzy-logic controller for a three-degree of freedom (3DOF) artificial finger with shape-memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. The robotic finger is constructed using three SMA wires as tendons to bend each phalanx of the finger around its revolute joint and three torsion springs which return the phalanxes to their original positio...
متن کاملDesign and Control of the BUAA Four-Fingered Hand
This research presents a multi-fingered hand and computer control system intended for research in dextrous manipulation. The hand mechanism is based on an anthropomorphic configuration with four identical fingers. Each finger has four degrees of freedom actuated by four dc servomotors. The fingers, palm, and mechanical interface to a robotic arm are separate components of a modular design allow...
متن کاملDextrous Manipulation by Rolling and Finger Gaiting
Many practical dextrous manipulation tasks involve large-scale motion of the grasped object while maintaining a stable grasp. To plan such tasks, one must control both the motion of the object and the contact locations, while also adhering to the workspace constraints typical of multingered hands. In this paper, we integrate the relevant theories of contact kinematics, nonholonomic motion plann...
متن کاملUsing Manifolds for Dextrous Hand Control
In dextrous hand control, the implementation of manipulation movements still is a complex and intricate undertaking. Often, a lot of object physics and modelling effort has to be incorporated into a controller working only for a very restricted task specification and performing quite artificially looking movements. In this paper, starting from our representation for dextrous grasping, namely th...
