Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study proposed a method that a multi-fingered robot hand quickly grasped various objects, such as industrial products and crops, which had different size and shape. In this method, the robot hand approaches to an object with the proximity sensors on the robot fingertips detecting the object in high-frequency. As a result, the fingers of the robot hand can be moved to trace the object’s surface with keeping a constant distance. Combining the method with vision sensing which estimated the position and reflectance property of the object, it was shown that the robot hand could grasp various objects such as an apple, a soft toy, and so on.
