Enhancing Dexterity in Confined Spaces: Real-Time Motion Planning for Multifingered In-Hand Manipulation
Dexterous in-hand manipulation in robotics, particularly with multi-fingered robotic hands, poses significant challenges due to the intricate avoidance of collisions among fingers and the object being manipulated. Collision-free paths for all fingers must be generated in real-time, as the rapid changes in hand and finger positions necessitate instantaneous recalculations to … [Read more...] about Enhancing Dexterity in Confined Spaces: Real-Time Motion Planning for Multifingered In-Hand Manipulation
