Abstract

In this paper we propose an analytical formulation for simulation and design of a one d.o.f. articulated finger mechanism with three phalanges. The formulation is based on a study of the design and operation of an index human finger. In particular, we have proposed a suitable mechanical design for an anthropomorphic finger as both an approximation of human architecture and an easy practical design. Kinematic characteristics are illustrated with numerical examples.
