摘要

This paper explores the often-overlooked importance of the palm in robotic hand design, where traditional approaches emphasize finger dexterity and multi-motor manipulation to achieve diverse degrees of freedom (DOF) for grasping. The palm’s ability to conform to objects while grasping is an additive unique feature due to its versatility to create different shapes. However, replicating this complex contouring of the human palm in a mechanical equivalent presents significant challenges. To address this, the paper introduces the concept of a compliant anatomical palmar mechanism (CAPM), using a combined experimental and numerical approach to model the kinematic characteristics of a hybrid rigid/compliant system. The study analyzes how palm movement can enhance grasping performance capabilities. The studies use human hand experiments and finite element analysis (FEA) simulations to predict grasping force distribution. This improved modeling allows for more effective robotic design by utilizing palm functions to achieve a broader force distribution in power grasps. A CAPM prototype, integrated into a robotic hand testbed, has been developed to validate the concept and evaluate its effectiveness in grasping by maintaining a stable grasp of a spherical object under an increasing torsional load.
