Modeling contact interaction of a hand prosthesis with soft tissue at the interface
SMC'03 Conference Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. Conference Theme - System Security and Assurance (Cat. No.03CH37483)
It is interesting to study the phenomenon of contact interaction with an object and its manipulation using prosthetic mechanisms proposed earlier by the authors. The task is made challenging due to the presence of soft fingertips, and the combined action of sliding and rolling at the contact interface. Detailed Bond graph modeling of the contact phenomenon for one and two degrees of freedom of the prosthesis is presented. Effects due to softness of the fingertips while manipulating an object,
