چکیده
This paper focuses on the fundamental deformation effect of soft fingertips as applied in soft-fingered object manipulations. In order to analyze the deformation effect, we first describe the dynamic relation of a two-fingered object manipulation using soft fingertips. From the dynamic relation, we show that the fundamental deformation effect of soft fingertips is essential for soft-fingered manipulations. A dynamic manipulation control method considering the deformation effect is also proposed. Simulation results show that the deformation effect of soft fingertips during the manipulation process is crucial for stable manipulation. Finally, we conclude that the deformation effect of soft fingertips is desirable to be properly considered in a manipulation control law for successful soft-fingered manipulation tasks.

To date, much research has been done on the manipulation of objects by softfingered robotic hands. Most of these studies, particularly the earlier ones, focused only on contact mechanisms on various soft fingers. More recently, there has been an increase in the number of studies investigating the sensing mechanisms of the human hand and designing control systems in robotic applications to emula...
متن کاملHow Hemispherical Soft Fingertips Enhance Dexterity in Grasping and Manipulation
We observed how a pair of 1-DOF fingers, whose fingertips are similar to humans in that they have a soft and hemispherical pad with a buttressing hard back plate, grasped and manipulated a rigid object. Based on the observations, we propose and validated a parallel distributed model that takes into account tangential deformation of the fingertips. We conclude that the number of degrees of freed...
