Abstract

The robots with humanoid hands can take the place of humans in carrying objects and using tools efficiently in different situations. This paper presents a novel hydraulic-driven robotic hand named the WLRH-II (the second-generation wheel-legged robot humanoid hand) which bears heavy load and has strong robustness. This paper focuses on the design of humanoid hand driving and transmission mechanisms, kinematic and static analyses. First, the linkage mechanism is proposed according to the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Then, the kinematics and the statics of WLRH-II are analyzed in grasp state. In addition, the hydraulic servo control method is used to control the position of a hand through angle feedback. Finally, position tracking and load experiments are completed to verify the reasonableness and effectiveness of the control. The robotic hand can grasp objects of 30[Formula: see text]kg with 2.85-kg self-weight. The WLRH-II has a high load/self-weight ratio of 10.55 in this paper, which is rare in similar humanoid robotic hands.
