Compliant In-hand Rolling Manipulation Using Tactile Sensing

Authors

Huan Weng, Yifei Chen, Kevin M. Lynch

Abstract

We investigate in-hand rolling manipulation using a multifingered robot hand, where each finger is compliant and equipped with a tactile fingertip providing contact location and wrench information. We derive the equations of motion for compliant quasistatic in-hand rolling manipulation and formulate a fingertip rolling manipulation controller for multiple fingers to achieve a desired object twist within a grasp. The contact mechanics are demonstrated in simulation and the controller is tested on an experimental robot system.
