Virtual model
of the human hand oriented to object grasping
Abstract:
The
project aims to develop a realistic virtual model of the human hand
with special emphasis on those aspects of the grip and interaction with
objects. This virtual model will consist of a biomechanical model of
the human hand scalable composed of bones, tendons, muscles and skin.
Closing allgorithms for grasp simulation of virtual items, contact
models, which allow estimating the transmission of forces in the
contacts, and quality indexes of the grips that will measure the
efforts of the various components of the model. The project also aims
to develop a programming environment that facilitates the use of the
virtual model, allowing users to model, edit their parameters, and
thoroughly test the interactions between the model and virtual objects.
As a result of this project we will make available to the scientific
and industrial community a tool for studying the human hand, with
relevant applications in the field of ergonomics, prosthesis design and
robotics.
