A haptic system for a multifingered hand

摘要

A series of haptic exploratory procedures (EPs) implemented for a multifingered, articulated, sensory robot hand is discussed. These EPs are designed to extract specific tactile and kinesthetic information from an object via their purposive invocation by an intelligent robotic system. Taken together, they form an active robotic touch perception system. This system utilizes a PUMA 560 robot arm, a JPL/Stanford robot hand with joint torque sensing in the fingers, a wrist force/torque sensor, and a 256-element spatially resolved fingertip tactile array. The EPs are described, and experimental results are given.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
