N. Mimura et Y. Funahashi, STABILIZING EFFECTS OF INTERNAL STIFFNESS FOR SLIGHT SLIDING AT CONTACT POINTS, JSME international journal. Series C, dynamics, control, robotics, design and manufacturing, 36(4), 1993, pp. 455-462
The small sliding at contact points of fingertips is investigated in t
his paper. The grasp stabilization method with internal stiffness is p
roposed and its stabilizing effect is demonstrated for the planar thre
e-fingered hand. The grasp stabilizing conditions for the internal sti
ffness are determined and the optimal grasp in contrast to the convent
ional point of view is discussed. Finally, the stabilizing effects usi
ng the internal stiffness are illustrated by numerical examples.
