ABSTRACT

This paper presents an anthropomorphic robot hand called the Gifu hand II, which has a thumb and four fingers, all the joints of which are driven by servomotors built into the fingers and the palm. The thumb has four joints with four-degrees-of-freedom (DOF); the other fingers have four joints with 3-DOF; and two axes of the joints near the palm cross orthogonally at one point, as is the case in the human hand. The Gifu hand II can be equipped with six-axes force sensor at each fingertip and a developed distributed tactile sensor w ....etc

Vision-based gesture recognition system isthe attractive solution for human computerinteraction and machine vision application likerobotic application. The common systemsassumption under such a systems are a constantenvironment, like persons wearing non-skin-coloredclothes with long sleeves and a fixed camera positionunder constant lighting conditions. In this paper weare evaluating the performance of a simple handand figure gesture recognition system that can bemapped to various tasks for robotic application.One of the main c ....etc

Biomechatronic Hand

The objective of the work describe in this paper is to develop an artificial hand aimed at replicating the appearance and performance of the natural hand the ultimate goal of this research is to obtain a complete functional substitution of the natural hand. This means that the artificial hand should be felt by the user as the part of his/her own body (extended physiological proprioception(EPP) ) and it should provide the user with the same functions of natural hand: tactile expl ....etc

Tele-Graffiti (A Camera-Projector Based RemoteSketching System with Hand-Based User Interface and Automatic Session Summarization)

Abstract


One way to build a remote sketching system is to use a video camera to image what each user draws at their site, transmit the video to the other sites, and display it there using an LCD projector. To make such a system usable, however, the users have to be able to move the paper on which they are drawing, they have to be able to interact with the system using a convenient interface, and sketching s ....etc

ABSTRACT
This paper details the design and operation of the Barrett Hand BH8-250, an intelligent, highly flexible eight-axis gripper that reconfigures itself in real time to conform securely to a wide variety of part shapes without tool-change interruptions. The grasper brings enormous value to factory automation because it: reduces the required number and size of robotic work cells (which average US$90,000 each “ not including the high cost of footprint) while boosting factory throughput; conso ....etc

Abstract
Hand-held devices are rapidly becoming a common technology at work, school, and play. Even though battery technology is improving continuously and processors and displays are rapidly improving in terms of power consumption, battery life is an issue that will have a marked inuence on how hand-held computers can be used. Energy consumption can be reduced by the efficient usage of the three power states: Run, Idle and Sleep. _Sleep is an energy reduction technique for handheld devices which is different fr ....etc

ABSTRACT

An ideal artificial hand should match the requirements of prosthetics and humanoid robotics.

It can be wearable by the user which means that it can be perceived as part of the natural body and should replicate sensory-motor capabilities of the natural hand.However, such an ideal bionic prosthesis is still far from reality.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a novel artificial hand based on a biomechatronic and ....etc
