Autonomous motion planning of a hand-arm robotic system based on captured human-like hand postures

Rosell, J., Suarez, R., Rosales, C. and Pirez A. Autonomous motion planning of a hand-arm robotic system based on captured human-like hand postures. Autonomous Robots, 2011. [PDF][External Link] Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of motion planning of anthropomorphic mechanical hands avoiding collisions and trying to mimic real human hand postures. The approach uses[…]
