The design optimization of a robotic gripper is of utmost importance for achieving a stable
grasp behaviour. This work focuses on analysing the optimal design of an under-actuated …

In this article, the design of a five-fingered anthropomorphic gripper is presented specifically
designed for the manipulation of elastic objects. The manipulator features a hybrid design …

A synthetic fiber rope, which is lightweight and has a high tensile strength and flexibility, is
receiving considerable attention as a replacement for a stainless steel wire rope. This letter …

This letter proposes a new wire-driven mechanism in order to relay many ropes very simply
and compactly. Ropes pass through in a joint while bundled. Synthetic fiber rope can slide …

For heavy duty tasks which are needed in field or rough terrain, we developed a
hydrostatically actuated anthropomorphic hand. The hand is specifically designed for the …

A synthetic fiber rope is potentially capable of replacing a stainless steel wire rope because
it is light weight, and has high tensile strength and flexibility. In order to exploit the maximum …

Synthetic fibre ropes have high tensile strength, a lower friction coefficient and are more
flexible than steel ropes, and are therefore increasingly used in robotics. However, their …

To analyze the structural characteristics of a human hand, data collection gloves were worn
for typical grasping tasks. The hand manipulation characteristics, finger end pressure, and …

To enable a humanoid robot to use its hand in the whole body motions, such as hanging,
climbing or using a ladder, we developed a robot hand driven by a powerful but …

In this work we focus on the design of an underactuated anthropomorphic tendon driven
robotic gripper with two fingers. The gripper is required to be able to perform strong stable …
