Animating a Synergy-Based Deformable Hand Avatar for Haptic Grasping
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 3D deformable hand avatar for virtual grasping using multiple single-contact-point haptic devices is introduced. The proposed technique has two main advantages. First, the whole hand motion is reconstructed by measuring only fingertips positions and using a biomechanical model of the hand along with the postural synergies characterizing grasping actions. Secondly, this technique requires only simple algebraic computations.

Improving Fine Control of Grasping Force during Hand–Object Interactions for a Soft Synergy-Inspired Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand
The concept of postural synergies of the human hand has been shown to potentially reduce complexity in the neuromuscular control of grasping. By merging this concept with soft robotics approaches, a multi degrees of freedom soft-synergy prosthetic hand [SoftHand-Pro (SHP)] was created. The mechanical innovation of the SHP enables adaptive and robust functional grasps with simple and intuitive m...

The Lucs Haptic Hand III has been built as a step in a project at LUCS aiming at studying haptic perception. In this project, several robot hands together with cognitive computational models of the corresponding human neurophysiologic systems will be built. Grasping tests with the LUCS Haptic Hand III were done with six different objects in order to get a comprehension of the signal patterns fr...
متن کاملThe contributions of vision and haptics to reaching and grasping
This review aims to provide a comprehensive outlook on the sensory (visual and haptic) contributions to reaching and grasping. The focus is on studies in developing children, normal, and neuropsychological populations, and in sensory-deprived individuals. Studies have suggested a right-hand/left-hemisphere specialization for visually guided grasping and a left-hand/right-hemisphere specializati...

متن کاملModelling natural and artificial hands with synergies.
We report on recent work in modelling the process of grasping and active touch by natural and artificial hands. Starting from observations made in human hands about the correlation of degrees of freedom in patterns of more frequent use (postural synergies), we consider the implications of a geometrical model accounting for such data, which is applicable to the pre-grasping phase occurring when ...
