Remote Operation of Robot Hand

This research focuses primarily on robotics and virtual reality, developing intelligent machine systems and human interfaces capable of performing dexterous and complex tasks like those of humans. Our work so far includes the development of a humanoid robot hand with five fingers, a high-power robot hand with fingertip force exceeding 15 kg, a multi-degree-of-freedom myoelectric prosthetic hand operable via surface electromyography, and a multi-finger haptic interface capable of presenting force sensations, including gravity, to the fingertips. We are also exploring the application of these technologies in space, developing a remote operation system where the operator can experience the fingertip force feedback through a multi-finger haptic interface while the robot hand grasps and manipulates objects in remote locations.
