| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Human hand is able to perform dexterous manipulation keeping the object stable while it is sliding on the hand. Discovering dynamical criteria to achieve such manipulation would contribute to improving designs of tool shapes or robotic hands.
It is hard to perform observations of contact points and forces between the actual hand and manipulated object. We hence implemented a method to perform dynamics simulation of a hand model along with measurement of hand motions by a subject, and feed the data to the simulation, based on which we performed observations and analysis. Soft body elements corresponding to hand skin is incorporated into the dynamics simulation because the skin would have important roles in such manipulation.
