Download or read book Dextrous Robot Hands written by Subramanian T. Venkataraman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manipulation using dextrous robot hands has been an exciting yet frustrating research topic for the last several years. While significant progress has occurred in the design, construction, and low level control of robotic hands, researchers are up against fundamental problems in developing algorithms for real-time computations in multi-sensory processing and motor control. The aim of this book is to explore parallels in sensorimotor integration in dextrous robot and human hands, addressing the basic question of how the next generation of dextrous hands should evolve. By bringing together experimental psychologists, kinesiologists, computer scientists, electrical engineers, and mechanical engineers, the book covers topics that range from human hand usage in prehension and exploration, to the design and use of robotic sensors and multi-fingered hands, and to control and computational architectures for dextrous hand usage. While the ultimate goal of capturing human hand versatility remains elusive, this book makes an important contribution to the design and control of future dextrous robot hands through a simple underlying message: a topic as complex as dextrous manipulation would best be addressed by collaborative, interdisciplinary research, combining high level and low level views, drawing parallels between human studies and analytic approaches, and integrating sensory data with motor commands. As seen in this text, success has been made through the establishment of such collaborative efforts. The future will hold up to expectations only as researchers become aware of advances in parallel fields and as a common vocabulary emerges from integrated perceptions about manipulation.

Download or read book A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation written by Richard M. Murray and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation presents a mathematical formulation of the kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators. It uses an elegant set of mathematical tools that emphasizes the geometry of robot motion and allows a large class of robotic manipulation problems to be analyzed within a unified framework. The foundation of the book is a derivation of robot kinematics using the product of the exponentials formula. The authors explore the kinematics of open-chain manipulators and multifingered robot hands, present an analysis of the dynamics and control of robot systems, discuss the specification and control of internal forces and internal motions, and address the implications of the nonholonomic nature of rolling contact are addressed, as well. The wealth of information, numerous examples, and exercises make A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation valuable as both a reference for robotics researchers and a text for students in advanced robotics courses.
Download or read book High level Planning of Dexterous In hand Manipulation Using a Robotic Hand written by Urbain Prieur and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work considers a robot equipped with an anthropomorphic hand and aims at providing it with efficient autonomous in-hand manipulation skills. While fine in-hand action planning algorithms have interesting state-of-the-art solutions, we built a competitive high-level control layer to plan the complete in-hand manipulation activity. Our solution generates a sequence of subgoals from an initial to a final configuration provided by the task, thus decomposing in-hand manipulation into simple transitions that can be easily planned by the low-level algorithms. We use a Markov decision process (MDP) to generate the sequence, taking into account the object influence and the desired final subgoal. We use a simple state representation for the sugoals: canonical grasp types from a taxonomy, enabling fast and on-line computation. The transitions between grasp types are modelled as probabilities of success. The simple formulation of the sequence leaves the complete configurations and transitions to be planned by the low-level layer, which can ask for a different subgoal path if required. The MDP can generate the appropriate behaviour if the in-hand action skills of the robot are known. They can be learnt by self-exploration of the robot if possible. Otherwise, the behaviour can be directly learnt from human demonstration. We boost the learning process using an empirical guess of the transition probabilities and an active learning algorithm. We implemented our solution on a real platform. The planning of in-hand manipulation relies on the grasp sequence generated which probability of success is used as an insight of the task achievability for the initial grasp choice.

Download or read book In Hand Object Localization and Control Enabling Dexterous Manipulation with Robotic Hands written by Martin Pfanne and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a novel model-based dexterous manipulation framework, which, thanks to its precision and versatility, significantly advances the capabilities of robotic hands compared to the previous state of the art. This is achieved by combining a novel grasp state estimation algorithm, the first to integrate information from tactile sensing, proprioception and vision, with an impedance-based in-hand object controller, which enables leading manipulation capabilities, including finger gaiting. The developed concept is implemented on one of the most advanced robotic manipulators, the DLR humanoid robot David, and evaluated in a range of challenging real-world manipulation scenarios and tasks. This book greatly benefits researchers in the field of robotics that study robotic hands and dexterous manipulation topics, as well as developers and engineers working on industrial automation applications involving grippers and robotic manipulators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robotics dexterous manipulation with a number fingers has witnessed a number of developments. Hand dexterous manipulation is a difficult task, this due to a number of axioms, the first is related to complex mechanics of motion, while the last is related to the inter-related topics of intelligence and cognitive sciences needed to achieve tasks. This book is projecting fundamental topics related to dexterous Multifinger robotics manipulation. The book is summarizing large number of scientists and researchers efforts over years to assemble robotics hands with high level of dexterity, mobility, and adequate manipulability needs. Over years, there are large number of hand design attempts, some of which have been designed with high level of dexterities. Actuation and sensing have been cumbersome to achieve full skillful abilities for better manipulation. There have been some recent efforts to make use of artificial muscle type for hands actuation. Hands with artificial muscles for actuations is a new venue within robotics hands. Electroactive polymers have emerged with great promise and enabled the improvement of unique mechanisms that are biologically inspired.

Download or read book Dextrous Object Manipulation with Robot Hands Including Rolling and Slipping written by Günter Wöhlke and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper deals with the two fundamental problems that occur when objects are manipulated with multi-finger robot hands: the determination of the joint motions to perform a manipulation according to a given object trajectory, and the optimization of the joint torques needed to ensure a stable and secure grip configuration. The consideration of the effect of rolling and slipping of the fingertips on the object surface leads to a set of linear differential equations for the joint angles and to a partly non-linear optimization problem for the joint torques solved by the Hooke-Jeeves algorithm. The removal of redundant information reduces the computational effort to about 40% of the operations required for the standard procedure. Especially, the resulting object motions are demonstrated at an example: the rotation of an ellipsoid-like object with the fingers of the Karlsruhe Dextrous Hand."
