From Robot To Human Grasping Simulation

The Human Hand And Its Dexterity In Grasping And Manipulating Objects Are Some Of The Hallmarks Of The Human Species. For Years, Anatomic And Biomechanical Studies Have Deepened The Understanding Of The Human Hands Functioning And, In Parallel, The Robotics Community Has Been Working On The Design Of Robotic Hands Capable Of Manipulating Objects With A Performance Similar To That Of The Human Hand. However, Although Many Researchers Have Partially Studied Various Aspects, To Date There Has Been No Comprehensive Characterization Of The Human Hands Function For Grasping And Manipulation Of Everyday Life Objects.this Monograph Explores The Hypothesis That The Confluence Of Both Scientific Fields, The Biomechanical Study Of The Human Hand And The Analysis Of Robotic Manipulation Of Objects, Would Greatly Benefit And Advance Both Disciplines Through Simulation.
