Biomechanical characterization of grasp planning and posture in
object manipulation by human hand
Abstract:
This project aims to
contribute to a better understanding of the biomechanics of human
grasping. The two main objectives are: characterize with
biomechanical measurements grasping planning and posture for daylife
objects; to develop a software module for grasping planning to be
incorporated in the hand model developed in the group. This research
would be of great interest in a variety of applications as: design
of multi-fingered robotic manipulators more efficient for domestic
or industrial applications, development of haptic devices for
virtual reality, improvement of the design of bionic hands,
improvement of the design of products or tools to be grasped,
helping surgeons in surgical planning for hand pathologies.
