Abstract

This paper describes dexterous manipulation of the digital hand we have developed, whose structure is based on human hand. The purpose of the development is to investigate good shape design for anyone to make use of it easily, the technology transfer in man hand and the novel operation of robot hand. To do this, it is necessary to examine the force distribution generating on a contact point between hand and object. We have developed the estimation systems; one is the dynamics simulation space that has the collision calculation function. The other is the shape inspection of hand with a high-speed camera which is able to record the dexterous hand motion. As a dexterous manipulation, bar spinnings by the digital hand are examined.
