In this study, we focused on sheet manipulation with robotic hands. This manipulation involves grasping the sides of the sheet and utilizing the convex area resulting from bending the sheet. This sheet manipulation requires the development of a model of a bent sheet grasped with fingertips. We inves
In this study, we experimentally investigated the effect of robot fingertip stiffness on the maximum resistible force. The maximum resistible force is defined as the maximum tangential force at which the fingertip can maintain contact when applying and increasing tangential/shearing force. We includ…
In this study, we experimentally investigated the process leading to fracture in tofu grasping by deformable fingertips filled with a fluid. In our previous papers [1, 2], we developed deformable fingertips using a rubber bag filled with a viscoelastic fluid, and presented a strategy for delicate to…
