Control Theory of Multi-fingered Hands A Modelling and Analytical–Mechanics Approach for Dexterity and Intelligence

Control Theory of Multi-fingered Hands A Modelling and Analytical–Mechanics Approach for Dexterity and Intelligence / by Suguru Arimoto.

The hand is an agency of the brain; it reflects activities of the brain and thereby can be seen as a mirror to the mind. The dexterity of the hand has been investigated widely in developmental psychology and in anthropology. Since robotics launched in the mid-1970s, numerous multi-fingered hands mim...
