Dynamic Pen Spinning Using a High-speed Multifingered Hand with High-speed Tactile Sensor

Abstract

We propose a tactile feedback system in real time using a high-speed multifingered robot hand and high-speed tactile sensor. The system is respectively capable of high-speed finger motion up to 180 deg per 0.1 s and high-speed tactile feedback with a sampling rate higher than 1 kHz. In this paper, we describe dynamic pen spinning as an example of a skillful manipulation task using a high-speed multifingered hand equipped with tactile sensors. The paper describes the tactile feedback control strategies and experimental results.
