Many differentapproaches have been taken, anthropomorphic andnon-anthropomorphic ones. Not only themechanical structure of such systems wasinvestigated, but also the necessary control system.With the human hand as an exemplar, such robotsystems use their hands to grasp diverse objectswithout the need to change the gripper. The specialkinematic abilities of such a robot hand, like smallmasses and inertia, make even complexmanipulations and very fine manipulations of agrasped object within the own workspace of thehand possible. Such complex manipulations are forexample regrasping operations needed for therotation of a grasped object around arbitraryangles and axis without depositing the object andpicking it up again. In this paper an overview onthe design of such robot hands in general is given,as well as a presentation of an example of such arobot hand, the Karlsruhe Dexterous Hand II. Thepaper then ends with the presentation of some newideas which will be used to build an entire newrobot hand for a humanoid robot using fluidicactuators.Keywords: Multifingered gripper, robot hand, finemanipulation, mechanical system, control system1 IntroductionThe special research area Humanoid Robotsfounded in Karlsruhe, Germany in July 2001 isaimed at the development of a robot system whichcooperates and interacts physically with humanbeings in normal environments like kitchen orliving rooms. Such a robot system which isdesigned to support humans in non-specialized,non-industrial surroundings like these must, amongmany other things, be able to grasp objects ofdifferent size, shape and weight. And it must alsobe able to fine-manipulate a grasped object. Suchgreat flexibility can only be reached with anadaptable robot gripper system, a so calledmultifingered gripper or robot hand.The humanoid robot, which will be built in theabove mentioned research project, will be equippedwith such a robot hand system. This new hand willbe built by the cooperation of two institutes, theIPR (Institute for Process Control and Robotics) atthe University of Karlsruhe and the IAI (Institutefor Applied Computer Science) at the KarlsruheResearch Center. Both organizations already haveexperience in building such kind of systems, butfrom slightly different points of view.The Karlsruhe Dexterous Hand II (see figure 1)built at the IPR, which is described here in detail, isa four fingered autonomous gripper. The handsbuilt at the IAI (see figure 17) are built asprosthesis for handicapped people.The approach taken so far will be presented anddiscussed in the following sections, as it founds thebasis for the novel hand of the humanoid robot.Figure 1: Karlsruhe Dextrous Hand II from IPRProceedings of the IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid RobotsCopyright 20012 General structure of a robot handA robot hand can be split up in two majorsubsystems: The mechanical system The control systemThe mechanical system, further described in section3, can be subdivided into:- The mechanical design- The actuator system- The sensor systemAnd the control system described in section 4consists at least of :- The control hardware- The control softwareFor each of these parts we will describe theconsiderations for a robot hand in general and thenpresent the exemplary implementation in theKarlsruhe Dexterous Hand II.3 Mechanical systemThe mechanical system describes how the handlooks like and what kind of components it is madeof. It defines the mechanical design, e.g. thenumber of fingers and the kind of materials used.Additionally actuators, e.g. electric motors, andsensors, e.g. position encoders, are settled.3.1 Mechanical designThe mechanical design determines the fundamentaldexterousness of the hand, i.e. what kind ofobjects can be grasped and what kind ofmanipulations can be performed with a graspedobject. Three basic aspects have to be settled whendesigning a robot hand: The number of fingers The number of joints per finger The size and placement of the fingersTo be able to grasp and manipulate an object safelywithin the workspace of the hand at least 3 fingersare required. To achieve the full 6 degrees offreedom (3 translatory and 3 rotatory DOF) for themanipulation of a grasped object at least 3independent joints are needed for each finger. Thisapproach was taken for the first KarlsruheDexterous Hand 1,2. However, to be able toregrasp an object without having to release it andthen pick it up again, at least 4 fingers arenecessary.To determine the size and the placement of thefingers two different approaches can be taken: Anthropomorphic Non-anthropomorphicIt then depends on the objects to manipulate and onthe type of manipulations desired which one ischosen. An anthropomorphic placement allows toeasily transfer e.g. grasp strategies from a humanhand to the robot hand. But the different sizes ofeach finger and their asymmetric placement makesthe construction more expensive and the controlsystem more complicated, because each finger hasto be treated separately.When a non-anthropomorphic approach is takenmost often identical fingers are arrangedsymmetrically. This reduces the costs for theconstruction and simplifies the control systembecause there is only one single finger module tobe constructed and controlled.3.2 Actuator systemThe actuation of the finger joints also has a greatinfluence in the dexterousness of the hand, becauseit determines the potential forces, precision andspeed of the joint movements. Two differentaspects of the mechanical movement have to beconsidered: Movement generation Movement forwardingSeveral different approaches for these aspects aredescribed in the literature. E.g. the movement canbe generated by hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders3 or, as in most cases, by electric motors.As the movement generators (motors) are in mostcases to big to be integrated in the correspondingfinger joint directly, the movement must beforwarded from the generator (most times locatedin the last link of the robot arm) to the finger joint.Again different methods can be used, like tendons4,5,6, drive belts 1,2 or flexible shafts. The useof such more or less indirect actuation of the fingerjoint reduces the robustness and the precision of thesystem and it complicates the control systembecause different joints of one finger are oftenmechanically coupled and must be decoupled insoftware by the control system. Due to thesedrawbacks an integration of miniaturizedmovement generators directly into the finger jointsis desirable.3.3 Sensor systemThe sensor system of a robot hand provides thefeedback information from the hardware back tothe control software. This is necessary to perform aclosed loop control of the fingers or a graspedobject. Three types of sensors are used in robothands 7,8: Gripper state sensors determine the position ofthe finger joints, and hence the finger tip, andthe forces which act upon the finger. Knowingthe exact position of the fingertip makes preciseposition control possible, which is necessary fordexterous fine manipulations. With theknowledge of the forces applied to a graspedobject by the fingers it is possible to grasp afragile object without breaking it.Proceedings of the IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid RobotsCopyright 2001 Grasp state sensors provide information aboutthe contact situation between the finger and theobject. This tactile information can be used todetermine the point in time of the first contactwith the object while grasping, and to avoidundesired grasps, like grasping at an edge or atip of the object. But it can also be used todetect slippage of an already grasped object,which might lead to a loss of the object. Object state or pose sensors are used todetermine the shape, position and orientation ofan object in the workspace of the gripper. Thisis necessary if these data is not known exactly,prior to grasping the object. If the object statesensors still works on a grasped object it can beused to control the pose (position andorientation) of a grasped object too, e.g. todetect slippage.Depending on the actuator system the geometricalinformation about the finger joint position can bemeasured at the movement generator or directly atthe joint. For example if there is a stiff couplingbetween an electric motor and the finger joint thenthe joint position can be measured by an angleencoder at the axis of the motor (before or after thegear). This is not possible if the coupling is lessstiff and a high position precision is desired.3.4 The mechanical system of the KarlsruheDexterous Hand IIIn order to permit more complex manipulations likeregrasping the current Karlsruhe Dexterous Hand II(KDH II) was built with 4 fingers and 3independent joints per finger. It is designated forapplications in industrial environments (seefigure 2) and for manipulation of objects likeboxes, cylinders, screws or nuts. Therefore asymmetric, non-anthropomorphic configuration offour identical fingers, each rotated by 90 waschosen (see figure 3).Due to the experiences gained with the firstKarlsruhe Dexterous Hand, like e.g. mechanicalproblems caused by the drive belts or controllingproblems caused by large friction factors, somedifferent design decisions were chosen for theKDH II. The dc-motors for joint 2 and 3 of eachfinger are integrated into the previous finger limb(see figure 4). This permits the use of very stiffball-spindle-gears for the forwarding of themovement to the finger joint. Angle encodersdirectly on the motor axis (before the gear) are usedas very precise position state sensors.Figure 4: Side view of the KDH II3 lasersensorsfixation frameone complete fingercontrol hardware(microcontroller)Figure 3: Top view of the KDH IIFigure 2: KDH II mounted on an industrial robotProceedings of the IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid RobotsCopyright 2001For sensing the forces applied to an object by afinger a prototype of a 6 dimensional force torquesensor has been developed (see figure 5). It can beused as the last finger limb and is equipped with aspherical finger tip. It is able to grasp light objectsas well as relatively heavy objects up to 3 to 5 kg.The sensor is able to measure forces in x- y- and z-direction and torques around these axes.Additionally 3 colinear laser triangulation sensorsare mounted in the palm of the KDH II (seefigure 4) 11. Because there are three such sensorsnot only the distances of 3 single points can bemeasured, but also the distance and orientation ofthe surface of a grasped object, if the shape of theobject is known. This object pose sensor workswith a frequency of 1 kHz which allows thedetection and avoidance of a slipping object.4 Control systemThe control system of a robot hand determineswhich of the potential dexterous skills provided bythe mechanical system can actually be exploited.As mentioned before the control system can besubdivided in the control computer or hardware andthe control algorithms or software.The control system must meet several conflictingrequirements: Many input/output resources like actor orsensor signals must be attached. For examplefor a minimum hand with 9 degrees of freedom,at least 9 analog outputs to the motors and 9inputs from angle encoders must be estimated.With force and tactile sensors for every fingerand additional object state sensors the numberof inputs quickly increases to several dozens. Quick reactions in real-time to external eventsare required. If for example a slipping of thegrasped object is detected immediate countermeasures must be taken. High computing power for several differenttasks must be available. For example pathplanning, coordinate transformations, closedloop control in software are executed in parallelfor multiple fingers as well as for the object. Small physical size is needed to be able tointegrate the control system into themanipulation system. Short electrical connections between the controlsystem and the actuators and sensors should beused. This is especially relevant for the sensorsbecause otherwise massive interference mightdisturb the sensor signal.4.1 Control hardwareTo cope with the requirements the control hardwareis usually distributed among several specializedprocessors. For example the input/output on thelowest level (motors and sensors) can be handledby a simple microcontroller, which is also of smallsize and thus can be integrated more easily into themanipulation system. But the higher levels ofcontrol need more computing power and thesupport of a flexible real time capable operatingsystem. This can be achieved most easily with PC-like components.Therefore the control hardware often consist of anon-uniform, distributed computing system withmicrocontrollers on the one end and more powerfulprocessors on the other. The different computingunits then have to be connected with acommunication system, like for example a bussystem.4.2 Control softwareThe control software of a robot hand is quitecomplex. Several fingers must be controlled in real-time and in parallel while new trajectories for thefingers and the object must be planned at the sametime. Therefore it is necessary to reduce thecomplexity by dividing the problem into subproblems.Another aspect concerns software development. Asa robotic hand is usually a research project for mostof its lifetime, the programming environment, likeuser interface, programming tools and debuggingfacilities, should be powerful and flexible. This canonly be achieved if a standard operating system isused.Figure 5: 6 DOF force torque sensor with straingage sensors used as the last finger limbof the KDH IIFigure 6: control hardware architecture of the KDH IIProceedings of the IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid RobotsCopyright 2001The usual hierarchical control system approachused in robotics has to be trimmed to fit the specialneeds of the controlling of a robot hand.4.3 The control system of the KarlsruheDexterous Hand IIAs suggested in section 4.1 a distributed approachto the control hardware was taken for the KarlsruheDexterous Hand II (KDH II) (see figure 6) 8. Onemicrocontroller is used to control the actuators andsensors of one finger respectively. An additionalmicrocontroller is used for the object state sensor(laser triangulation sensors). Thesemicrocontrollers (the outer boxes to the left andright in figure 6) are mounted directly on the hand,thus short electrical connections to the actuatorsand sensors are guaranteed. The microcontrollersare connected to the main control computer byserial bus systems (CAN-bus).The main control computer of the KDH II (the lightgrey box in figure 6, and figure 7) is implementedas a parallel computer consisting of 6 industrialPCs (PC104 standard). These PCs are arranged in a2D-plane. Neighboring PC-modules (a PC has atmost 8 neighbors) use a dual ported RAM (DPR)for fast communication (the dark grey boxes infigure 6).One PC is used to control a finger respectively.One PC controls the object state sensors andcalculates the objects position. The remaining PCis placed such that it neighbors all the previouslymentioned PCs. It is used for the coordination ofthe whole control systemThe structure of the control software reflects thecontrol hardware architecture. It is shown infigure 8.On the three top levels of the local hand controlsystem an on-line planning is performed. Desiredobject movement commands are received from thesuperior robot control system and used for a fineplanning of the object path. According to thegenerated object path feasible grasps (possiblegrasp points for fingers on the object) are planned.Now that the grasps and the object movements areknown the trajectories for each finger are plannedby the finger path planning and forwarded to thereal-time capable part of the system.If an object is already grasped, then the fingermovement paths are forwarded to the object posecontroller. This controller controls the actual objectpose, determined by the gripper and object statesensors, to reach the desired object pose. If a fingeris not attached to an object, then its movement pathis forwarded directly to the hand controller.The hand controller coordinates the movements ofall fingers by forwarding correspondent desiredfinger positions to all finger controllers. These inturn drive the finger actuators with the help of thefinger sensors.5 Experimental resultsTo validate the capabilities of the KarlsruheDexterous Hand II two demanding manipulationproblems were chosen. One problem is the on-linecontrolling of the pose (position and orientation) ofa grasped object under external influences. Herethe hard real-time conditions reveal the controllingcapabilities of the approach chosen.For the other problem a grasped object must berotated around arbitrary angles, which can only beachieved with regrasping. This reveals thecapability of the Karlsruhe Dexterous Hand II toperform very complex manipulation tasks.5.1 Object pose controlThe objective of the object pose controller is tocorrectly position and orientate a grasped object tofit a given trajectory. This task must be achievedon-line under real-time conditions and in spite ofinternal variations and external disturbances.Figure 7: parallel main computer used to control theKDH IIobjectsensorshand controller (finger coordination)object pose controllerlocal grasp planning.local object path planninglocal hand control systemFingfinger 1sensorsfinger 1actuatorsfinger controller 1online planningonline controlling (real-time)finger path planningobject movementfree movementFingfinger nsensorsfinger nactuatorsfinger controller nFigure 8: local hand control system of theKarlsruhe Dextrous Hand IIProceedings of the IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid RobotsCopyright 2001Internal variations are for example the rolling of thespherical fingertips on a grasped object duringobject movements in the workspace of the hand.This rolling is shown in figure 9 and figure 10. Itcan result in an undesired additional displacementor in an undesired tilt of the object. These objectpose errors are hard to estimate in advance.Therefore the input of an object pose sensor isneeded to correct the errors. For the KarlsruheDexterous Hand II the three laser triangulationsensors were used for this purpose.Figure 11 shows the undesired tilt of the objectaccording to figure 9 quantitatively when no objectpose control is used. The lower diagram shows thedesired trajectory over time in x-direction, whilethe upper diagram shows the resulting undesiredrotation (tilt) of the object.In figure 11 the tilt of the object is significantlyreduced due to the enabled object pose control. Inthe upper diagram the rotation of the objectremains essentially constant, as desired.An object pose controller is also necessary tocompensate external disturbances. For examplecollisions of the robot (arm, hand or fingers) or thegrasped object with the environment might result inthe slipping of the grasped object. This might evenlead to the loss of the grasped object and istherefore not acceptable. In order not to lose theobject in such situations the slipping must bedetected and a quick reaction must be performed tostabilize the object pose.To verify the capability of the Karlsruhe DexterousHand II control system to cope with this kind ofFigure 9: additional displacement due to rollingFigure 10: additonal undesired tilt due to rollingof the shperic fingertips on the objectFigure 11: Object tilt without object state controlFigure 12: Reduced object tilt with object statecontrolFigure 13:
