Control Theory of Multi-Fingered Hands: A Modelling and Analytical-Mechanics Approach for Dexterity and Intelligence

By Suguru Arimoto

Book Overview

Here you'll find a comprehensive insight into the intelligence and dexterity of robotic multi-fingered hands from both the physical and control-theoretic viewpoints. It focuses on the problem of how to control dexterous movements of fingers interacting with an object in the execution of everyday tasks. It moves on to clarify what kinds of sensory-motor coordinated signals are necessary and sufficient for realizing stable grasping as well as object manipulation.
