The unique musculoskeletal structure of the human hand brings in wider dexterous
capabilities to grasp and manipulate a repertoire of objects than the non-human primates. It …

With robots increasingly assuming social roles (eg, assistants, companions),
anthropomorphism (ie, the cognition that an entity possesses human characteristics) plays a …

Humans excel at dexterous manipulation; however, achieving human-level dexterity
remains a significant challenge for robots. Technological breakthroughs in the design of …

In this paper we present an open-source design for the development of low-complexity,
anthropomorphic, underactuated robot hands with a selectively lockable differential …

Soft, underactuated, and compliant robotic exo-gloves have received an increased interest
over the last decade. Possible applications of these systems range from augmenting the …

The progress in the development of anthropomorphic hands for robotic and prosthetic
