Abstract:
The field of humanoids robotics, widely recognized as the current challenge for robotics research, is attracting the interest of many research groups worldwide. Important efforts have been devoted to the objective of developing humanoids and impressive results have been produced, from the technological point of view, especially for the problem of biped walking.Developing humanoids poses fascinating problems in the realization of manipulation capability, which is still one of most complex problem in robotics.
For its scientific content and for its utility in the most robotics applications, the problem of manipulation has been deeply investigated and many results are already available, both as hands and sensors and as control schemes.
The first step towards this objective is to enhance the hand dexterity by increasing the DOF and reducing size of the system. The main problem in developing such a hand is the limited space available to integrate actuators within the hand. Anyway, recent progress in sensors, actuators and embedded control technologies are encouraging the development of such hand.
