Abstract

Grasping and moving objects is a natural behavior in human daily life, whereas it turns into an enormous challenge with robots. To analyze the difficulty of grasping and moving target objects, a arm-hand system is performed with 7-DOF dual arms robot and bionic hand in this paper. A numerical method is proposed to solve the problem of arm motion planning. And a novel grasping strategy is proposed for enabling bionic hand to grasp efficiently. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated using both computer simulation and physical experiment.
