Robot hands have been one of the major research topics since the beginning of robotics
because grasping and manipulation of a variety of objects by robot hands are fundamental …

The unique musculoskeletal structure of the human hand brings in wider dexterous
capabilities to grasp and manipulate a repertoire of objects than the non-human primates. It …

The compliance of soft grippers contributes to their great superiority over rigid grippers in
grasping irregularly shaped objects and forming soft contact with environments. Due to a …

It is believed that the use of haptic sensors to measure the magnitude, direction, and
distribution of a force will enable a robotic hand to perform dexterous operations. Therefore …

" Haptic Telexistence" provides highly realistic haptic interaction among humans and objects
located in remote places. We have developed innovative devices and constructed a master …

We present a novel implementation of a Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) game interaction with a
social robot. The framework is tailored to be computationally lightweight, as well as …

We introduce TOMURA, a mountable hand-shaped interface for conducting a wide range of
interactions by leveraging the versatility of the human hand. TOMURA can be mounted in …

This paper presents a four-fingered robotic hand, designed to carry out grasping operations
along with different object manipulation tasks. The design of this hand resembles a human …

Restoring human hand function by mechatronic means is very challenging in robotics
research. In this paper, we first make a brief review on the development of dexterous …

There is a large gap between reality and grasp models that are currently available because
of the static analysis that characterizes these approaches. This work attempts to fill this need …
