About
Monica Sandri is a leading figure in the field of robotic manipulation, with a core focus on dexterous hand design and control systems. Her most cited work, “The UB Hand II control system: design features and experimental results” (2002, 20 citations), presents the groundbreaking control architecture of the University of Bologna Robotic Hand Version II. This paper details the integration of sophisticated sensory and actuation systems within a three-fingered, highly articulated hand mounted on a PUMA 560 anthropomorphic arm. Sandri’s contributions are pivotal in advancing the practical realization of high-dexterity robotic hands, addressing critical challenges in real-time control and sensor feedback that enable complex grasping and manipulation tasks. Her work has laid essential groundwork for subsequent research in prosthetic and industrial robotics, demonstrating how precise control systems can unlock the full potential of multi-fingered end-effectors. By bridging theoretical design with experimental validation, Sandri has helped shape the trajectory of modern robotic hand technology, inspiring new generations of engineers to push the boundaries of what artificial hands can achieve.
