Hand Design for a Humanoid Robot
Hand Design for a Humanoid
•Motivation•Humanoid Platform•Design Description•Force Sensing Compliant Actuator•Control Architecture
Hand Design for a Humanoid
Constraints:•Size•Weight•Form-Factor•Wrist and Arm design
Motivations:•Unknown environments•Modest dexterity•Modest tactile sensing•Force Sensing•Compliance•Robustness
Hand Design for a Humanoid
Practical concern: Robust, functional hands are often notrealized in practice for many humanoids.
Do we need full human dexterity to understand basic manipulation problems such as visuo-motor integration and preshaping of grasp?
Can we find a balance between complexity andutility?
DomoA research platform for
dexterous manipulation

Domo Specification
•2 6 DOF force sensing Arms•2 4 DOF force sensing Hands•9 DOF Active Vision Head•29 DOF Total•51 Proprioceptive/Force Sensors•24 Tactile Sensors•2 Firewire CCD Cameras
Domo Research Direction
•Long timescale manipulation experiments•Unknown environments•Two armed manipulation•A Creature Based approach to learning in manipulation contexts
General need for a robust, always-on, humanoid platform!
Back to the hands…
Hand Specification•4 Force Sensing Compliant Actuators•3 Fingers each with:
•1 active force controlled DOF•1 mechanically coupled DOF•1 passively compliant DOF•3 FSR tactile sensors
•1 DOF for spread between 2 fingers•Mechanically coupled•Force controlled
•Angular and force sensors for each active DOF•Embedded interface electronics•Modular Design
Hand Schematic
Dexterity•Kinematics modeled after the Barrett Hand•A modest variety of grasps•Traded complexity of more humanoid form for robustness, compactness•Provides a functional tool to explore perceptual-motor coordination for preshaping and grasping problems
Force Sensing Compliant Actuator•Springs filter high bandwidth shocks•Springs provide force sensing•Springs provide passive compliance•Very compact packaging•Mechanically simple and robust•Can be difficult to assemble
FSC and SEA Actuators
Series Elastic Actuator
•Used in Domo’s Arms•Linear and Rotary configurations•Limited travel•Small packaging difficult
