New: Pneumatically-Driven Highly Underactuated 10-DOF Robotic Hand
Was fuer ein geiles spielzeug! Fuer alle die zu viel zeit haben, wie ich...
" One of the most complex parts of our motor-driven highly underactuated robotic hands is the gear differential mechanism that provides the underactuation between the three fingers. A much simpler substitute of this differential could be used in the case of pneumatic or hydraulic actuation — just a distributer with one input and three outputs. While, in many applications, pneumatic or hydraulic actuation is not suitable, in many other, this type of actuation is standard."
