About
Amit V. Upasani’s research focuses on advancing robotic manipulation through sensor technology and hand design. His most-cited work, “Survey of Available Sensor Technology for Robotic Hands” (1999, 4 citations), provides a foundational review of sensors integrated into iconic robotic hands, including the UTAH/MIT Hand, Belgrade/USC hand, Stanford/JPL hand, and Hirzinger Hand. By cataloging off-the-shelf and emerging sensors, Upasani identified critical gaps in tactile and force feedback, shaping subsequent developments in dexterous grasping. Though his citation count is modest, his survey remains a reference for engineers seeking to understand sensor constraints in early robotic hand prototypes. Upasani’s contributions lie in synthesizing disparate technologies into a cohesive framework, enabling researchers to compare sensor performance across platforms. His work underscores the importance of sensor selection in achieving human-like manipulation, influencing fields from prosthetics to industrial automation. For students exploring robotic hands, Upasani’s survey offers a clear entry point into the challenges of sensing and control.
