Dexterous Manipulation Through Rolling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonholonomic constraints in robotic systems are the source of some di culties in planning and control; however, they also introduce interesting properties that can be practically exploited. In this paper we consider the design of a robot hand that achieves dexterity (i.e., the ability to arbitrarily locate and reorient manipulated objects) through rolling. Some interesting issues arising in planning and controlling motions of such device are considered, including exact planning for a spherical object and approximate planning for general objects. An experimental prototype of a three{plus{one d.o.f. hand achieving dexterous manipulation capabilities is described along with experimental results from manipulation.

Dexterous Grippers: Putting Nonholonomy to Work for Fine Manipulation
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. Wh...
متن کاملRolling Polyhedra on a Plane; Analysis of the Reachable Set
The problem of dexterous manipulation of objects, i.e. of arbitrary relocation and reorientation of rigid bodies by action of some mechanism, is considered. We build upon previous results on the possibility of implementing dexterous “robot hands” with few actuators, which can be afforded through the exploitation of nonholonomic rolling of regular surfaces. In this paper we focus on the manipula...
متن کاملDexterity through Rolling: towards Manipulation of Unknown Objects
The nonholonomy exhibited by kinematic systems consisting of bodies rolling on top of each other can be used to the purpose of building dexterous mechanisms with a minimum hardware complication. Such desirable an engineering feature can be fully exploited, however, only if the capability of planning and controlling rolling motions of arbitrary objects is achieved. In this paper we present some ...

متن کاملDexterous Manipulation: A Geometrical Reasoning Point of View
| This paper addresses the problem of dexterous manipulation of objects using an articulated hand. We describe some geometric reasoning techniques that can be applied to solve active compliance tasks. In this context, ne motion strategies are derived from the positions and forces between the grasped object and the ngers of the hand. Our approach is based in the minimum power principle of the gr...
