Universidad Politécnica de Madrid : Modelling a human hand for object manipulation

The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid developed a multi-body dynamic hand model. At first, a realistic human hand model has been defined, followed by the development of a demonstrator of object manipulation. This object manipulation demonstrator is based on a multi-body dynamics software library which describes the haptic interaction manipulating virtual parts. The human hand model has been conceived in order to realistically characterize and model hand postures during object grasping.

In a future collaboration with the University of Pisa , it is planned to test the hand model in combination with a sensing glove.
