The ability to grasp a wider range of objects in size and shape directly relates to the
performance of robotic grippers. Adapting to complex geometries of objects requires large …

The design and fabrication of soft robot hands is still a time-consuming and difficult process.
Advances in rapid prototyping have significantly accelerated the fabrication process while …

While parallel grippers and multi-fingered robotic hands are well developed and commonly
used in structured settings, it remains a challenge in robotics to design a highly articulated …

We present a novel method for the direct transfer of grasps and manipulations between
objects and hands through utilization of contact areas. Our method fully preserves contact …

Achieving dexterous in-hand manipulation with robot hands is an extremely challenging
problem, in part due to current limitations in hardware design. One notable bottleneck …

There has been an explosion of ideas in soft robotics over the past decade, resulting in
unprecedented opportunities for end effector design. Soft robot hands offer benefits of low …

Hands are one of the most intricate elements of a humanoid due to their role as end-
effectors interacting with their non-linear surrounding environment. This paper aims to …

Sensor placement for grasping tasks in conventional robotic hands has been extensively
studied, with goals including sensorizing essential contact areas or determining the effect of …

We present a novel, low cost framework for reconstructing surface contact movements
during in-hand manipulations. Unlike many existing methods focused on hand pose …

This manuscript introduces a symmetrical gripping mechanism, a significant piece of robotic
equipment, adept at adjusting to the variable dimensions of disparate objects within an …
