Control of a multifingered adaptive end effector

Date:

1997-2001

Themes:

Robotics, Control Systems

Funding:

Privately Funded

The research objectives are as follows:

• Development of a complete 3D static and dynamic model of three-fingered fully adaptive end effector.
• Based on the model and knowledge of the user environment, providing the design and implementation of a useful coordination and control strategy.
• Demonstrate the model, coordination strategy and the control with hardware. This will be undertaken with a realistic range of test objects.
