Request a sales quoteHuman Inspired Dexterity in Robotic Manipulation provides up-to-date research and information on how to imitate humans and realize robotic manipulation. Approaches from both software and hardware viewpoints are shown, with sections discussing, and highlighting, case studies that demonstrate how human manipulation techniques or skills can be transferred to robotic manipulation. From the hardware viewpoint, the book discusses important human hand structures that are key for robotic hand design and how they should be embedded for dexterous manipulation.
This book is ideal for the research communities in robotics, mechatronics and automation.
- Investigates current research direction in robotic manipulation
- Shows how human manipulation techniques and skills can be transferred to robotic manipulation
- Identifies key human hand structures for robotic hand design and how they should be embedded in the robotic hand for dexterous manipulation
Robot engineers who are interested in developing robots for the human environment. Professors and Post doctors who would like to start research in robotic manipulation imitating human manipulation. Undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in object manipulation by robots as well as by humans
