摘要:
A multi-finger grasping mechanism (300), comprising three two-joint finger units (1-1 to 1-3). Each two-joint finger unit further comprises a finger root part (2), a finger root side joint part (5), a finger intermediate part (3), a finger tip side joint part (6), and a finger tip part (4). The finger intermediate part (3) can be swung about the joint axis (5a) of the finger root side joint part (5), and the finger tip part (4) can be swung about the joint axis (6a) of the finger tip side joint part (6). The finger tip part (4) can be swung about the center axis thereof. When a bolt (W) is held by the finger tip part (4) and the finger part (4) is rotated, the tightening operation of the bolt (W) can be performed.

A robotic hand (100) comprises a base (101) having fingers (102-105) and a palm (105). The fingers define a working volume. The hand is able to grasp objects between the fingers and the palm by varying a distance from the palm to the working volume. Varying this distance can be achieved by either moving the palm towards the working volume or by moving the working volume towards the palm. Robotic hands that move the palm comprise an actuator that extends the palm from the base towards the working volume. Robotic hands that move the working volume relative to the palm have the fingers mounted to a common finger support unit that is configured to translate relative to the base.
摘要:
A gripping type hand including a plurality of finger mechanisms (18) provided respectively with finger joints (12), actuators (14) for driving the finger joints, and links (16) supported by the finger joints and operating under driving force of the actuators. The gripping type hand includes an operation controlling section (20) capable of respectively controlling the actuators of the plurality of finger mechanisms independently from each other; a position detecting section (22) for respectively detecting operating positions of the finger joints of the plurality of finger mechanisms; and strain detecting sections (24) provided respectively for the plurality of finger mechanisms and detecting strains generating in the links due to force applied to the finger mechanisms. The operation controlling section coordinately controls the actuators of the plurality of finger mechanisms to adjust gripping force generated by the plurality of finger mechanisms, based on the operating positions of the finger joints detected by the position detecting section and the strains of the links detected by the strain detecting sections.

A holder (10) for centered round articles (A) comprises a frame (12) having a first arm (14) and a second arm (16) pivotally attached thereto. The first arm defines a single contact point (18) at its distal end while the second arm defines a pair of diverging surfaces (20, 22) at its distal end. The two arms are mechanically coupled to rotate relative to each other in a fixed relationship, and the curved surfaces on the second arm are shaped in a particular manner so that circular articles held by the two arms will be centered at a fixed location relative to the frame.
