...Siyun Liu; Wenzeng Zhang; Jie Sun Purpose Underactuated fingers are adapted to generate several grasping modes for different tasks, and coupled fingers and self-adaptive fingers are two important types of them. Aiming to expand the application and increase adaptability of robotic hand, this paper...

..., but the maximum grasping force is limited by the material properties of the deformable finger. Compared with the rigid finger, the soft finger has relatively smaller grasping forces. Flexible passive joint Power grasp Robot hand Self-adaptive grasp Underactuated finger The hand is one of the most...

... for industrial applications. The purpose of this paper is to present a software‐oriented approach to design optimal architectures of linkage‐driven adaptive (often a.k.a underactuated) fingers with three degrees of freedom. Design/methodology/approach The user of the software presented in this paper can...
