This paper presents a lightweight 328 g anthropomorphic robot hand that can exert a large grasp force. We propose a combination mechanism of a flexion-drive and a force-magnification-drive for a cable driven multifingered robot hand. The flexion-drive consisting of a feed screw enables quick motion of its fingers and the force-magnification-drive consisting of an eccentric cam, a bearing and a pulley enables a firm grasp. This paper also proposes a three-dimensional linkage for the thumb. This linkage consists of four links and is driven by a feed screw. It can oppose to a large force exerted by the other fingers with the force-magnification-drive. These mechanisms are compact enough to be installed in the developed lightweight hand. We experimentally verify that the maximum fingertip force of the hand exceeds 20 N and that the thumb can hold a large force of 100 N. The time to fully close the hand by using the flexion-drives is 0.47 s. After the fingers make contact with an object, the time to achieve a firm grasp by using the grasp-magnification-drive is approximately 1 s.

The growing complexity of MEMS devices and their increased used in embedded systems (e.g., wireless integrated sensor networks) demands a disciplined approach for MEMS design as well as the development of techniques for system-level modeling of these devices so that a seamless integration with the existing embedded system design methodologies is possible. In this paper, we present a MEMS design methodology that uses VHDL-AMS based system-level model of a MEMS device as a starting point and combines the top-down and bottom-up design approaches for design, verification, and optimization. The capabilities of our proposed design methodology are illustrated through the design of a microaccelerometer

This paper proposes a simplified generation method of regrasping motion. The regrasping motion is designed by evolutional programming (EP) in our conventional study and the obtained regrasping behavior should be adjusted according to some conditions; initial posture and dimensions of a grasping object. However, the designing process of the regrasping motion is off-line because it takes several minutes to find the optimal regrasping strategy by EP. In this paper, we therefore simplified the searching process for regrasping motion in order to apply it in the realtime process. Besides, this simplified generation method is enable to achieve a regrasping motion from arbitrary initial posture because there is no strategy that is previously designed. We show its effectiveness of the simplified generation method with numerical simulations, comparing the performance of the EP-based approach.
