Sensor-based controlling of the objects pose for multifinger grippers

Abstract

In the field of research and development of grippers in object-handling applications, many research results in improving grippers performances have been achieved, and many kinds of multifinger grippers have been developed. By using multifinger grippers, it is possible to grasp different objects of different shapes without changing grippers; and most importantly, it can manipulate the grasped object in the hand, under the condition that the object is controlled in real-time. Therefore, an object-pose controller with feedback from an object-pose sensor is presented in this paper.
