This paper presents the design and experimental evaluations of an articulated robotic limb
called Capler-Leg. The key element of Capler-Leg is its single-stage cable-pulley …

A multi-fingered hand that can grasp and manipulate a variety of objects is an option for
assisting people in their daily lives. However, the range of torque output that can be handled …

This paper presents the first two members of the new generation of CLASH hands, which
exploit low cost actuation and rapid prototyping to create antagonistic modular and …

Automation of logistic tasks, such as object picking and placing, is currently one of the most
active areas of research in robotics. Handling delicate objects, such as fruits and vegetables …

A synthetic fiber rope, which is lightweight and has a high tensile strength and flexibility, is
receiving considerable attention as a replacement for a stainless steel wire rope. This letter …

The sense of touch is a key aspect in the human capability to robustly grasp and manipulate
a wide variety of objects. Despite many years of development, there is still no preferred …

A synthetic fiber rope is potentially capable of replacing a stainless steel wire rope because
it is light weight, and has high tensile strength and flexibility. In order to exploit the maximum …

This paper presents an innovative grasping system for pick-and-place applications, capable
of handling a wide range of objects with varying characteristics, including size, shape …

Synthetic fibre ropes have high tensile strength, a lower friction coefficient and are more
flexible than steel ropes, and are therefore increasingly used in robotics. However, their …

To analyze the structural characteristics of a human hand, data collection gloves were worn
for typical grasping tasks. The hand manipulation characteristics, finger end pressure, and …
