In recent years, exploratory research on soft materials and their mechanism has been
gaining in popularity. The investigations on soft materials are mostly done for two …

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 …

This paper proposes a biomechatronic approach to the design of an anthropomorphic
artificial hand able to mimic the natural motion of the human fingers. The hand is conceived …

Flying robots capable of perch-and-stare are desirable for reconnaissance missions.
Inspired by an adaptation that enables songbirds to sleep in trees without active muscle …

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 …

Tactile sensing is an instrumental modality of robotic manipulation, as it provides information
that is not accessible via remote sensors such as cameras or lidars. Touch is particularly …

Flying robots capable of perch-and-stare are desirable for reconnaissance missions. Current
solutions for perch-and-stare applications utilize various methods to create an aircraft that …

This paper presents several mechanical models of a high-strength cable-driven dexterous
manipulator designed for surgical procedures. A stiffness model is presented that …

In this paper the mechanism, design, and control system of a new humanoid-type hand with
human-like manipulation abilities is discussed. The hand is designed for the humanoid robot …

This research presents a multi-fingered hand and computer control system intended for
research in dextrous manipulation. The hand mechanism is based on an anthropomorphic …
