Observer-Based Dynamic Control of an Underactuated Hand

The purpose of this paper was to construct a velocity observer based on the dynamic model and realize accurate dynamic curve and force control. Curve fitting with the observer obtained precise velocity signals. Compared with PID and factored moment methods, it decreased the fitting errors a lot and achieved ideal results. Compensated with the inverse dynamic equation, the force-based impedance control with the observer could not only realize accurate force tracking, but achieve finger dynamic control by the combination of curve fitting and force tracking. Furthermore, a static grasp model was established for appropriate force distribution. The finger could grasp slippery, fragile, comparatively heavy and large objects like an egg with only base joint torque and position sensors, which illustrated that the hand could accomplish difficult tasks by using the static grasp model and dynamic control.
