Beyond Anthropomorphism: Enhancing Grasping and Eliminating a Degree of Freedom by Fusing the Abduction of Digits Four and Five

IROS 2025

This paper presents the SABD hand, a 16-degree-of-freedom (DoF) robotic hand that departs from purely anthropomorphic designs to achieve an expanded grasp envelope, enable manipulation poses beyond human capability, and reduce the required number of actuators. This is achieved by combining the adduc

Static Modeling of the Stiffness and Contact Forces of Rolling Element Eccentric Drives for Use in Robotic Drive Systems

IROS 2024poster

Rolling element eccentric drives promise to be an easy-to-manufacture and performant gear system for robotic actuators. They share characteristics with other eccentric drives, such as strain wave and cycloidal drives, but use rolling elements instead of an eccentric gear. They offer reduced manufact…
