Holding force control of robot hand

This paper describes the master slave of a robot hand and a controller. Recently, various robot hands have been developed and used instead of humans for various applications such as for assembling cars and electronic components. Robots are also used in outer space. However, it is difficult to operate a robot hand without training, so we employed the strategy of bilateral control, which can match the force and posture between master and slave. This system enables a robot hand to be operated easily and sensuously. We aim to create a master-slave system which uses the load fed to the servomotor.
