Dexterous Grippers: Putting Nonholonomy to Work for Fine Manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe the realization and control of robotic end-effectors that are designed to achieve high operational versatility with limited constructive complexity. The design of such endeffectors, which can be regarded either as low-complexity robot hands or as highly versatile robot grippers, is based on the intentional exploitation of nonholonomic effects that occur in rolling. While the potential usefulness of manipulation by rolling has been theoretically established in the literature, several problems in the practical implementation of the concept remained open. In particular, manipulation of parts of complex, and a priori unknown, shape is considered in this paper. Experimental low-complexity grippers that realize dexterous manipulation by rolling are also described. KEY WORDS—robotic hands, dexterous manipulation, shape reconstruction, motion planning, nonholonomic systems

Kinematic Analysis of a Dexterous Hand
Handling of objects with irregular shapes and that of flexible/soft objects by ordinary robot grippers is difficult. Multi fingered gripper may be a solution to such handling tasks. However, dexterous grippers will be the appropriate solution to such problems. Although it is possible to develop robotic hands which can be very closely mapped to human hands, it is sometimes not to be done due to ...
متن کاملRobotic Hands : Modelisation, Control and Grasping Strategies
Multiingered robot hands can be used for applying ne motions. Unlike pick-and-place manipulations, Fine Motions Strategies generate movements based on sensor information to overcome mechanical and sensory uncertainties(Laugier, 1989; Magnussen and Doersam, 1995; Munoz et al., 1995). Performing assembly operations with a dexterous hand, high level strategies for planning a manipulation task have...
متن کاملLearning Dexterous Manipulation for a Soft Robotic Hand from Human Demonstration
Dexterous multi-fingered hands can accomplish fine manipulation behaviors that are infeasible with simple robotic grippers. However, sophisticated multi-fingered hands are often expensive and fragile. Low-cost soft hands offer an appealing alternative to more conventional devices, but present considerable challenges in sensing and actuation, making them difficult to apply to more complex manipu...
متن کاملManipulation of polyhedral parts by rolling
The nonholonomy exhibited by kinematic systems consisting of bodies rolling on top of each other can be used to the purpose of building dexterous mechanism with a minimum hardware complication. Previous work concentrated on manipulation of objects possessing a regular surface. On the other hand, industrial parts are most often irregular, possessing ver-tices and edges. In this paper we present ...
متن کاملDexterous Manipulation Graphs
We propose the Dexterous Manipulation Graph as a tool to address in-hand manipulation and reposition an object inside a robot’s end-effector. This graph is used to plan a sequence of manipulation primitives so to bring the object to the desired end pose. This sequence of primitives is translated into motions of the robot to move the object held by the endeffector. We use a dual arm robot with p...
