Robotic Finger

Robotic finger research aims to create artificial fingers capable of dexterous manipulation comparable to human hands, focusing on improving grasping, in-hand manipulation, and tactile sensing. Current efforts concentrate on developing advanced sensing modalities (e.g., vision-based tactile sensing, force/torque sensors integrated into compact designs), refined control algorithms (e.g., deep functional predictive control, graph neural networks for tactile feedback), and innovative finger designs (e.g., compliant, underactuated, and bio-inspired structures). These advancements are crucial for enhancing robotic dexterity in various applications, from delicate assembly tasks to everyday object handling, ultimately bridging the gap between robotic and human manipulation capabilities.
