Biological synergies have emerged as a widely adopted paradigm for dexterous hand design, enabling human-like manipulation with a small number of actuators. Nonetheless, excessive coupling tends to diminish the dexterity of hands. This paper tackles the trade-off between actuation complexity and dexterity by proposing an anthropomorphic finger topology with 4 DoFs driven by 2 actuators, and by developing an adaptive, modular dexterous hand based on this finger topology. We explore the biological basis of hand synergies and human gesture analysis, translating joint-level coordination and structural attributes into a modular finger architecture. Leveraging these biomimetic mappings, we design a five-finger modular hand and establish its kinematic model to analyze adaptive grasping and in-hand manipulation. Finally, we construct a physical prototype and conduct preliminary experiments, which validate the effectiveness of the proposed design and analysis.
The use of tools is a distinctive characteristic of human intelligence. However, traditional mapping algorithms from human hand to robot hand are ineffective in tool grasping due to the specific functional areas of tools. In this paper, we propose a hybrid mapping algorithm based on task division to address this problem. Firstly, we establish a human hand kinematic model and experimentally observe the synergistic effects of hand postures during the grasping of 44 common tools. Based on the grasping gestures, tools are categorized into multiple types, each exhibiting similar synergistic effects. Subsequently, human fingers are divided into grasping fingers and functional fingers according to task requirements. Grasping fingers are further classified into important and non-important fingers based on their significance in grasping tasks. Important fingers undergo joint configuration using object-based mapping, while the joints of other fingers are determined through posture synergies. Functional fingers require precise contact with tool regions, and this process is achieved through direct Cartesian mapping. Finally, we conduct comparative experiments to evaluate our algorithm, and the results demonstrate that our mapping algorithm effectively adapts to tool grasping tasks.
The goal of the existing dexterous hands is to achieve multi-function, compact structure, and simple control, which makes it difficult to be installed and disassembled, and the application of fingers is limited. In order to realize the flexibility and convenience of dexterous hand application, this paper proposes the design and experiments of a modular dexterous hand based on human hand biology. Firstly, the movement characteristics of the human hand are combined with its biological tissue structure to analyze its movement laws. The synergy and independence of finger movements were summarized. Secondly, based on the biological proper-ties of the human hand, a design method for a modular dexterous hand is proposed. The flexion and extension (F /E) of the finger adopts the design method of compliance drive and flexible coupling, so that it can achieve great adaptability to the object. Combined with independent adduction and abduction (Ad/ Ab), the dexterity of the fingers is guaranteed. Finally, through the rapid combination of modular fingers, two-fingered hand, three-fingered hand, and humanoid hand were developed, and grasping and manipulation experiments were carried out to verify the feasibility of the design.
Hand synergy from neuroscience provides an effective tool for anthropomorphic hands to realize versatile grasping with simple planning and control. This article aims to extend the synergy-inspired design from anthropomorphic hands to general multifingered robot hands by reconstructing mechanically the crucial biomechanical characteristics of hand synergy. The synergy-inspired hands are not necessarily humanoid in morphology but perform primary functions like the human hand. At first, the biomechanics of hand synergy is investigated by combining human hand synergies with the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Three biomechanical characteristics of the human hand synergy are explored as a basis for the mechanical simplification of robot hands. Second, based on the three synergy characteristics, a design method of robotic hands is proposed. A three-fingered hand is designed, and some typical grasping and in-hand manipulation functions are analyzed. Finally, a prototype is developed, and experiments of grasping and in-hand manipulation are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the design method.
This paper addresses the generation mechanism and avoidance method of negative stiffness during in-Hand manipulation with underactuated compliant hands. Firstly, a planar hand with two three-jointed fingers manipulating a rectangular is set, and a quasi-static underactuated operation model is established. Secondly, based on this simulation model, we investigated the stiffness evolution during in-hand manipulation, and analyze the influence factors of system stiffness. Finally, a stiffness regulation method is developed to avoid negative stiffness during in-hand manipulation. The method is validated by simulation. The research results are beneficial to improve the performance of underactuated in-hand manipulation.

采用三种不同的激光焊接顺序对镀锌钢板进行焊接,使用ANSYS软件对激光焊接温度场和残余应力场进行有限元分析,运用盲孔法测量焊后焊件的残余应力的分布情况,其结果和模拟结果相吻合.结果表明,不同的焊接顺序主要影响纵向焊接残余应力分布,对横向残余应力影响可忽略不计.焊缝区纵向残余应力在热输入段中点达到最大值,随着垂直于焊缝距离的增加焊接纵向残余应力逐渐减小,并最终趋于稳定.除了单焊道之外,受二次加热的影响,纵向焊接残余应力减小,最大减少量达15%,横向焊接残余应力变化很小,但存在正负波动现象,这主要是由焊接过程中温度分布不均匀和焊缝及近焊缝区的横向收缩引起的.

Laser-assisted machining (LAM), defined as a hot machining process, combines laser technology with traditional machining method for improving material removal rates. It can reduce the cutting force and improve the processing efficiency of hard-to-wear materials, especially engineering ceramics. To enhance the processing precision of alumina ceramic turning, this article presents the results of an experimental study of a two-step laser-assisted turning process including laser-induced thermal cracking and turning. This study investigates the distribution of microcracks for different process parameters. Comparing with the results, it is observed that the mechanism of crack formation and crack types are different. The cracks are caused by thermal stress and mechanical stress, separately. Based on uniform design, a back propagation neural network model is developed to map the complex nonlinear relationship between process parameters and processing requirements. The results show that the model is an effective tool for predicting the integrity of the machined ceramic surface.

Formation procedure of cross-sectional clad profile in laser cladding is investigated theoretically and experimentally.Based on the law of conservation of mass and that of balance of energy,a melt pool can be defined as a quasi-steady system.It is indicated that the cross-sectional clad profile is derived from the points at the back part of the boundary between the liquid,gas and solid,and these points' heights are equal to those of the counterpoints at the cross-sectional clad profile.Based on the above analysis,the model of a cross-sectional clad profile in single-pass coaxial laser cladding is presented.A 500 W CO2 laser is used in the experiment.The experimental result agrees well with the calculated cross-sectional profile.
