Survey, design and fabrication of humanoid robot hand model using leap motion sensor
Abstract
– Humanoid robot is a research division of robotics. This field focuses on simulating and fabricating parts of the human body (such as limbs, muscles) and their corresponding actions/movements. Some popular applications of humanoid robot are prostheses in medical field, receptionist robots and entertaining robots in service field. To operate in these fields, high fidelity models of robot based on human anatomy are required. Furthermore, to capture precise movements of those parts, various types of sensor such as tactile sensors, cameras, or motion sensors should be used. This paper presents an approach to model, design and fabricate a robot hand that mimics simple movements of human hand. Analyzing the human hand anatomy is carefully conducted in this study. A Leap Motion controller is also used to capture real-time movements of a human hand for the simulation purposes.
