Abstract
In this paper, we propose a pneumatic double-joint soft actuator based on fiber winding and build a dexterous hand with 11 degrees of freedom. Firstly, soft actuator structural design is carried out according to the actuator driving principle and gives the specific manufacturing process. Then, an experimental analysis of the bending performance of a single soft actuator, including bending angle, speed, and force magnitude, is carried out by building a pneumatic control experimental platform. Finally, a series of dexterous robotic hand-grasping experiments is conducted. Different grasping methods are used to catch the objects and measure the objects' change in height, length, and rotation angle during the experiment. The results show that the proposed soft actuator is more consistent with the bending rule of human fingers, and that the gestures of the dexterous hand are more imaginable and flexible when grasping objects. The soft actuator can carry out horizontal and vertical movements, and rotation of the object in the dexterous hand, thus achieving better human-computer interaction.
