The kinematics of the Anthrobot-2 dextrous hand

Abstract

An anthropomorphic dextrous robotic hand (Anthrobot-2) is described. Its forward and inverse kinematics, as well as its Jacobians are developed as the first step toward its utilization for either teleoperation or autonomous operation. The Anthrobot frames are assigned using the modified Denavit-Hartenberg formulation, referred to as the hand frame. A finger with proximal link contact point is described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
