Motion Analysis of Soft-Fingertip Manipulation Tasks
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides a motion analysis of soft-fingertip object manipulation tasks by presenting a dynamic model of multi-fingered object manipulations with soft fingertips. It is fundamentally observed that soft fingertips employed in a multi-fingered hand generate some deformation effects during the manipulation process and also that those effects are closely related to the behavior of the manipulated object. In order to analyze the motion of using soft fingertips, a dynamic manipulation control scheme is presented. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the motion of soft-fingertips applied in object manipulating tasks and are further used to discuss the characteristics of soft-fingertip motions.

An involuntary stereotypical grasp tendency pervades voluntary dynamic multifinger manipulation.
We used a novel apparatus with three hinged finger pads to characterize collaborative multifinger interactions during dynamic manipulation requiring individuated control of fingertip motions and forces. Subjects placed the thumb, index, and middle fingertips on each hinged finger pad and held it-unsupported-with constant total grasp force while voluntarily oscillating the thumb's pad. This task...
متن کاملModeling of soft fingertip for object manipulation using tactile sensing
Abstract In this paper, we will propose a simple contact model of a soft fingertip based on geometrical analysis and statics of the fingertip. First, we introduce a virtual spring system to the soft fingertip corresponding to one and twodimensional contact between a planar object and a soft fingertip. Second, we describe pressure distribution, and estimate that equation by simulating and measur...
متن کاملDexterous Multi-fingered Robotic Manipulation using Novel Fingertip Equipped with Soft Skin and Hard Nail
This paper describes dexterous multi-fingered manipulation using a novel fingertip equipped with a soft elastic cover and a solid nail. The soft elastic cover of the fingertip enables changing friction coefficient at the contact with an object. The solid nail enables detecting a very small step of sub-millimeter on a smooth surface.
متن کاملTactile Sensing of Edge Direction of an Object using a Robotic Fingertip with Soft Skin
We propose a new method of tactile sensing for a fingertip of robotic hand. Using a simple fingertip with soft surface cover and a six-axis force/moment sensor, developed is a new function of measuring direction of edge when the fingertip contacts with an edge of the object. The developed function is useful not only to plan strategies for stable grasp and dexterous manipulation but also to reco...
متن کاملGlobal Planning for Dexterous Reorientation of Rigid Objects: Finger Tracking with Rolling and Sliding
We address global motion planning for quasi-static reorientation of convex objects (polyhedral and smooth objects) with a four-fingertip grasp. We make use of a simple humanlike manipulation strategy in which a single finger is moved at each instant while the other three are maintained fixed (with regard to the palm)—an extended version of the original finger-tracking scheme of Rus. This new ve...
