Analysis of sliding of a soft fingertip embedded with a novel micro force/moment sensor: Simulation, experiment, and application
— We have investigated the deformation of a soft fingertip when it slides. This process was first simulated using the non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. Based on ...

Integration of impedance control and manipulability regulation for a finger-arm robot
— Motion control algorithms were proposed for a 9-DOF finger-arm robot by using the finger manipulability obtained in a previous study. However, in the previous study, only metho...
