Relative Contact Velocity-Controlled Hand-Object Mechanism for Dexterous Tool Manipulation

Relative Contact Velocity-Controlled Hand-Object Mechanism for Dexterous Tool Manipulation

Summary

This work proposes a unified hand-object mechanism (HOM) framework to enable general multi-finger robotic hands to perform complete tool manipulation, including picking up tools, loading them into suitable poses, and wielding them. By modeling the hand and tool as sub-assemblies with relative contact velocity and force constraints, the authors developed a lightweight motion planning and contact estimation framework using least squares and a complementary filter. Evaluated in simulation via teleoperation of five different robotic hands, the framework successfully enabled all hands to execute the complete tool manipulation process from simple reference trajectories, demonstrating adaptability across different hands, tools, and tasks.

Editorial context

The authors present a unified hand-object mechanism framework that enables five distinct robotic hands to execute complete tool manipulation tasks via teleoperation in simulation, relying on least squares and complementary filtering for motion planning and contact estimation.
