Grasping, carrying and placing of objects are the fundamental capabilities and common
operations for robots and robotic manipulators. Grippers are the most essential components …

Intelligent robots for fruit harvesting have been actively developed over the past decades to
bridge the increasing gap between feeding a rapidly growing population and limited labour …

Recent technological advances enable gripper-equipped robots to perform many tasks
traditionally associated with the human hand, allowing the use of grippers in a wide range of …

A novel artificial skin for covering the whole body of a humanoid robot is presented. It
provides pressure measurements and shape information about the contact surfaces …

Flexible pressure sensors working in a low pressure range (< 10 kPa) have become an
important part of recent research due to their applications in “artificial skin”, foldable …

This paper presents the new robotic FRH-4 hand. The FRH-4 hand constitutes a new hybrid
concept of an anthropomorphic five fingered hand and a three jaw robotic gripper. The hand …

In this paper, we address the problem of automatic grasp generation for robotic hands where
experience and shape primitives are used in synergy so to provide a basis not only for grasp …

This paper presents a review on main topic regarding to anthropomorphic robotic hands
developed in the last years, taking into account the more important mechatronics designs …

Integrating distributed sensors in the skin of robot hands is challenging, as the space is
limited. This paper presents a dense and small tactile sensor system that can be installed on …

This review aims to discuss the inkjet printing technique as a fabrication method for the
development of large-area tactile sensors. The paper focuses on the manufacturing …
