A new dexterous hand is designed and produced. The shape and structure of the dexterous hand is described, focused on analyzing the layout of tendons and the optimization of the joint radius. Furthermore, a single finger is controlled by Fuzz-PID with model compensation and the good control precision is achieved. Through the study on the single finger control, the master-slave control of the dextrous...
An innovative glove system actuated by electric motors has been developed to restore finger functions for disabled people. This glove system is composed of a leather glove having external tendons built-in, an actuation unit and a sensor to detect user's intentions for finger operations. Fingers are operated by actuation of the thin tendons made of polyethylene. The driving force of the tendon is transferred...
