Improvement of the automatic skinning approach for the JACO robotic arm based on a new weight-vertex distribution method

Abstract

Many fields, especially robot fields, use the simulation programs. Their paper deals with one of the most commonly used robot manipulator arm for human use such as eating or drinking for people with disabilities. After the arm is simulated, the bones were added as actuators. They have to make sure that the skin of the arm moves without any deformation according to the movement of the bones. We also studied the distributed weight’s influence and how to specify the required weight that corresponds to the effort.1
