Journal ArticleDOI
A compliant, underactuated hand for robust manipulation
Lael U. Odhner,Leif P. Jentoft,Mark R. Claffee,Nicholas Roy Corson,Yaroslav Tenzer,Raymond R. Ma,Martin Buehler,Robert Kohout,Robert D. Howe,Aaron M. Dollar +9 more
TL;DR: The iRobot-Harvard-Yale (iHY) Hand is introduced, an underactuated hand driven by five actuators that is capable of performing a wide range of grasping and in-hand repositioning tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Highly Adaptive SDM Hand: Design and Performance Evaluation
Aaron M. Dollar,Robert D. Howe +1 more
TL;DR: A novel adaptive and compliant grasper that can grasp objects spanning a wide range of size, shape, mass, and position/orientation using only a single actuator is demonstrated.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The role of force feedback in surgery: analysis of blunt dissection
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that force feedback is helpful in this blunt dissection task because the artery is stiffer than the surrounding tissue, which serves to constrain the subjects' hand from commanding inappropriate motions that generate large forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tactile display of vibratory information in teleoperation and virtual environments
TL;DR: In inspection and exploration tasks the detection of vibrations can be the fundamental goal of the task, while in some manipulation tasks vibrations can enhance performance by reducing reaction times or permitting minimization of ferees.

A Compliant, Underactuated Hand for Robust Manipulation
Lael U. Odhner,Leif P. Jentoft,Mark R. Claffee,Nicholas Roy Corson,Yaroslav Tenzer,Raymond R. Ma,Martin Buehler,Robert Kohout,Robert D. Howe,Aaron M. Dollar +9 more
TL;DR: The i-HY Hand as discussed by the authors is an underactuated hand driven by five actuators that is capable of performing a wide range of grasping and in-hand manipulation tasks on mobile robots.
