Examining the Frictional Behavior of Primitive Contact Geometries for use as Robotic Finger Pads

RA-L 2020

Prosthetic and robotic grippers rely on soft finger pads to better acquire objects of varying size, shape and surface. However, the frictional behavior of soft finger pads of different designs and geometries have yet to be quantitatively compared, in large part due to the difficulty in modeling soft

Stability Optimization of Two-Fingered Anthropomorphic Hands for Precision Grasping with a Single Actuator

ICRA 2019poster

In this paper, we present a constrained optimization framework for evaluating the post-contact stability of underactuated precision grasping configurations with a single degree of actuation. Relationships between key anthropomorphic design parameters including link length ratios, transmission ratios…
