Abstract

A multifingered hand system which can catch a thrown ball at a high-speed by visual feedback control is developed. The system consists of 1ms vision chip system, high-speed multifingered hand system, and visual feedback control system. A ball is thrown from a launcher, and it arrives at a multifingered hand about within 0.1s. The hand catches the ball by its fingertips. This is a result of the project "Artificial Hand and Brain Based on Sensory-Motor Fusion Theory" in the Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology (CREST) program of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). It has been exhibited in the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation since July 2005.
