| dc.description.abstract | An articulated hand model that can mimicK human hand motion was designed, fabricated, and controlled. The hand consisted of three fingers. index finger of the human Two fingers were similar to the hand and the other finger is similar to the human thumb in terms of its relation to the palm. The hand has the capability to grasp objects with different shapes and physical properties. These objects include the following: aluminum can. The model egg, styrofoam cup, bal I, and an is the first of its Kind in that each finger is designed as a three-I inK, voidless workspace. 3R robot with a The model's fingers are moved by nine 1 inear actuators and controlled with the the aid of an A/D board connected to a IBM-AT computer. The hand is portable which allows for it to be attached to the Unimate PUMA 700 robot. | |
