Purpose

According to UN estimates more than 2,000 people are killed or maimed every month by land‐mines. Although some mechanical solutions to their removal have been proposed, this is still heavily dependent on human manipulation. This study seeks to posit a robotic solution to this extremely hazardous operation.

Design/methodology/approach

Examines an active tele‐operated master‐slave robot hand system in which the master and slave hands have completely different structures.

Findings

A secure grasping strategy with a neuro‐fuzzy position control is optional, involving robust position control and accurate force control.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors' knowledge, the configuration and control system of the tele‐operation master‐slave robotic hand is novel in the applied robotics research field.
