Description:

This project will focus on the development of a hyper-adaptive robot hand for blind grasping. The design will utilize only one servo motor to control multiple Degrees of Freedom (DoF) per finger and will retain the adaptive behavior of compliant, under-actuated hands and their superior grasping capabilities under uncertainties.

The finger-pads will be equipped with appropriate sensors that will facilitate object identification using a single grasp. The proposed design will also explore alternative uses of structural compliance for the development of robot hands and will be easily fabricated with rapid prototyping techniques and off-the-self materials.
