The hand palm plays a crucial, active role in human grasping and manipulation tasks.
However, in many of the currently available robotic hands, the palm is just a passive support …

Autonomous grasping of novel objects that are previously unseen to a robot is an ongoing
challenge in robotic manipulation. In the last decades, many approaches have been …

Humans can use different grasping poses and forces for everyday objects of different
shapes and sizes. Grasping and manipulating everyday objects have been longstanding …

Humans use their dexterous fingers and adaptable palm in various multiobject grasping
strategies to efficiently move multiple objects together in various situations. Advanced …

Grasping objects—whether they are flat, round, or narrow and whether they have regular or
irregular shapes—introduces difficulties in determining the ideal grasping posture, even for …

Achieving successful robotic manipulation is an essential step towards robots being widely
used in industry and home settings. Recently, many learning-based methods have been …

The development of robotic hand that can imitate human movements has always been an
important research topic. In this paper, a linkage-driven underactuated three-finger hand is …

Human hands are able to grasp a wide range of object sizes, shapes, and weights, achieved
via reshaping and altering their apparent grasping stiffness between compliant power and …
