The advantages of anthropomorphic robotics include the ability to work in a human-oriented environment and the performance of complex tasks that usually only a person can cope with. One of the most important tasks in this area is the development of powerful anthropomorphic grippers. For several reasons anthropomorphic grippers with group drives are promising, in which movement from several joints is performed from one drive. The purpose of the article is a kinematic analysis of one of the possible design of such a gripper. In the article solved the direct and inverse problems of kinematics in an analytical form using the geometric method. The dependences of the Cartesian coordinates of the joints of the fingers on the joint coordinate describing the motion of a group drive were obtained for the solving the direct kinematic problem. The dependences between the joint coordinate of a group drive and desired position of the finger joints or the orientation of its links were obtained for solving the inverse problem of kinematics. The obtained results can be used further for performing dynamic analysis, parametric synthesis of the design and synthesis a control system for an anthropomorphic gripper with group drive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
