Dextrous Robot Hands

Dextrous Robot Hands edited by Subramanian T. Venkataraman, Thea Iberall.

Manipulation using dextrous robot hands has been an exciting yet frustrating research topic for the last several years. While significant progress has occurred in the design, construction, and low level control of robotic hands, researchers are up against fundamental problems in developing algorithm...
