Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, the realization of any specified planar Cartesian compliance for an object grasped by a compliant hand is addressed. The hands considered have 2 or more fingers for which each has 3 modulated elastic joints and predetermined link lengths. Geometric construction-based compliance synthesis procedures are developed. Using these procedures, a large set of compliant behaviors can be realized by a single hand simply by adjusting the configuration of each finger and by adjusting the joint stiffness (using variable stiffness actuation) of each finger joint.
