An overview of mathematical modelling of the human hand is given. We consider hand
models from a specific background: rather than studying hands for surgical or similar goals …

Although the concept of industrial cobots dates back to 1999, most present day hybrid
human–machine assembly systems are merely weight compensators. Here, we present …
