A Kinematic Analysis of Palm Degrees of Freedom for Enhancing Thumb Opposability in Robotic Hands
HyoJae Kang, Yeong Jae Park, Hyunmok Jung +2
This study investigates the kinematic role of palm degrees of freedom (DoF) in enhancing thumb opposability in a five-finger robotic hand. A hand model consisting of a five DoF thu…
Kinematic Optimization of Phalanx Length Ratios in Robotic Hands Using Potential Dexterity
HyoJae Kang, Joonho Lee, Jeongdo Ahn +1
In the design stage of robotic hands, it is not straightforward to quantitatively evaluate the effect of phalanx length ratios on dexterity without defining specific objects or man…
A Kinematic Framework for Screening Candidate Pinch Configurations in Robotic Hand Design without Object or Contact Models
HyoJae Kang, Joonho Lee, Hyunmok Jung +1
Evaluating the pinch capability of a robotic hand is important for understanding its functional dexterity. However, many existing grasp evaluation methods rely on object geometry o…
