A New Ultralight Antropomorphic Hand
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a very lightweight artificial hand is presented that approximates the manipulation abilities of a human hand very well. A large variety of different objects can be grasped reliably and the movements of the hand appear to be very natural. This five finger hand has 13 independent degrees of freedom driven by a new type of powerfull small size flexible fluidic actuator. The actuators are completely integrated in the fingers which made possible the design of a very compact and lightweight hand that can either be used as a prosthetic hand or as a humanoid robot hand. A mathematical model for the expansion of a flexible fluidic actuator is given and the mechanical construction and features of the NewAnthropomorphic Hand are illustrated .

DLR hand II: experiments and experiences with an anthropomorphic hand
At our institute, two generations of antropomorphic hands have been designed. In quite a few experiments and demonstrations we could show the abilities of our hands and gain a lot of experience in what artificial hands can do, what abilities they need and where their limitations lie. In this paper, we would like to give an overview over the experiments performed with the DLR hands, our hands ab...

متن کاملPotential Environmental Benefits of Ultralight Particleboards with Biobased Foam Cores
A new generation of ultralight particleboards (ULPB) with an expanded foam core layer produced in an in-line foaming step is under development. The environmental impacts of three types of ULPB containing foam based on 100% polylactic acid (PLA), 100% expanded polystyrene, and 50% PLA/50% polymethyl methacrylate, as well as a conventional particleboard (PB), have been compared in an LCA. Two app...
