사람의 손가락은 도구를 다루는 세밀한 동작을 하기 위해 필수적인 부위이며, 캐릭터 애니메이션에 있어 자연스러운 손가락 움직임 표현은 중요한 이슈 중 하나이다. 그 중에서도 키보드 타이핑 모션은 다양한 관절을 자연스럽게 사용하는 고난도 동작이며, 기존 애니메이션 파이프라인을 활용해서는 만들기 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 물리 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 사실적인 키보드 타이핑 모션을 자동으로 생성하는 방법을 제시한다. 물리 기반 시뮬레이션에서 타이핑 모션을 잘 수행하기 위해서는 손과 키보드 모델이 허용된 범위를 벗어나지 않아야 하며, 사용자의 입력에 맞는 키만 정확히 타건해야 한다. 또한 실제 키보드 타건을 관찰한 결과 항상 손의 위치 및 자세는 키보드 위의 특정 기본 자세를 유지하려고 하며, 타건하는 손가락 이외의 움직임을 최소화하려는 경향을 확인할 수 있었고 이를 반영하고자 하였다. 이러한 다양한 제약 조건을 하나의 해결기에서 다루어 실시간으로 자연스러운 키보드 타이핑 시뮬레이션 결과를 얻을 수 있고, 이러한 결과는 애니메이션 및 가상 현실 기반 인터랙션 컨텐츠 등에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 키보드나 마우스를 이용하지 않고 손 포즈나 동작으로 직관적인 사용자 인터 페이스를 제공하기 위한 실시간 손 포즈 인식 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 깊이 카메라 입력영상에서 왼손과 오른손의 영역을 분할 및 잡음 보정 후 각 손 영역에 대하여 손 회전각과 손 중심점을 계산한다. 그리고 손 중심점에서 일정간격으로 원을 확장해 나가면서 손 경계 교차점의 중간 지점을 구해 손가락 관절점과 끝점을 검출한다. 마지막으로 앞서 구한 손 정보와 이전 프레임의 손 모델간의 매칭을 수행하여 손 포즈를 인식한 후 다음 프레임을 위하여 손 모델을 갱신한다. 본 방법은 연속된 프레임간의 시간 일관성을 이용하여 이전 프레임의 손 모델 정보를 통하여 은닉된 손가락의 예측이 가능하다. 양손을 사용하여 은닉된 손가락을 가진 다양한 손 포즈에 대해 실험한 결과 제안 방법은 평균 95% 이상의 정확도로 32 fps 이상의 성능을 보였다. 제안 방법은 프리젠테이션, 광고, 교육, 게임 등의 응용분야에서 비접촉식 입력 인터페이스로 사용될 수 있다.

A composite bionic soft gripper integrated with electromagnets and magneto-active elastomers is designed by combining the structure of the human hand and the snake's behavior of enhancing friction by actively adjusting the scales. A silicon-based polymer containing magnetized hard magnetic particles is proposed as a soft finger, and it can be reversibly bent by adjusting the magnetic field. Experiments show that the length, width, and height of rectangular soft fingers and the volume ratio of neodymium-iron-boron have different effects on bending angle. The flexible fingers with 20 vol% are the most efficient, which can bend to 90° when the magnetic field is 22 mT. The flexible gripper with four fingers can pick up 10.51 g of objects at the magnetic field of 105 mT. In addition, this composite bionic soft gripper has excellent magnetron performance, and it can change surface like snakes and operate like human hands. This research may help develop soft devices for magnetic field control and try to provide new solutions for soft grasping.

In this paper for an object grasped by a robot hand to work in stiffness control domain we first investigate the number of fingers for successful stiffness modulation in the object operational space. Next we propose a new compliance control method for robot hands which consist of two steps. RIFDS(Resolved Inter-Finger Decoupling Solver) is to decompose the desired compliance characteristic specified in the op-erational space into the compliance characteristic in the fingertip space without inter-finger coupling and RIJDS(Resolved Inter-Joint Decoupling Solver) is to decompose the fingertip space without inter-finger coupling and RIJDS(Resolved inter-Joint Decoupling Solver) is to decompose the compliance characteristic in the finger-tip space into the compliance characteristic given in the joint space without inter-joint coupling. Based on the analysis results the finger structure should be biominetic in the sense that either kniematic redundancy or force redundancy are required to implement the proposed compliance control scheme, Five-bar fingered robot hands are used as an illustrative example to implement the proposed compliance control method. To show the effectiveness of the proposed compliance control method simulations are performed for two-fingered and three-fingered robot hands.

In this paper, we discuss the smooth hand-over of an object from a man to a robot and vice versa. In order for a robot to grasp an object or release a grasped object stably without using object model, as a man does, one of the basic approaches is the physiological method motivated by the study of human hands. So, we analyze human's grasping behavior by measuring grasp and friction forces simultaneously as a man grasps a experimental device which is designed for grasping or hand-over. Also, we investigate two methods that can predict when and bow fingers will slip upon a grasped object. And then, we propose a method of the hand-over of an object between a man and a robot by applying human's capability to a robot hand control.

The POSTECH Hand adopting coupled tendon driven technique with planar two fingers is developed. The hand is designed to emulate principal motions of the human hand which has two and three joints respectively. Its kinematic parameters are determined through a parameter optimizing technique to aim at improving the isotropy of fingertip motions with new criterion functions of design. For the control of the hand, tension and torque control algorithms are developed. Based on the virtual stiffness concept, we develop the stiffness control method of a grasped object with redundant finger mechnism and investigate experimentally.

This paper focuses on a development of an anthropomorphic robot hand. Human hand is able to dexterously grasp and manipulate various objects with not accurate and sufficient, but inaccurate and scarce information of target objects. In order to realize the ability of human hand, we develop a robot hand and introduce a control scheme for stable grasping by using only kinematic information. The developed anthropomorphic robot hand, KITECH Hand, has one thumb and three fingers. Each of them has 4 DOF and a soft hemispherical finger tip for flexible opposition and rolling on object surfaces. In addition to a thumb and finger, it has a palm module composed the non-slip pad to prevent slip phenomena between the object and palm. The introduced control scheme is a quitely simple based on the principle of virtual work, which consists of transposed Jacobian, joint angular position, and velocity obtained by joint angle measurements. During interaction between the robot hand and an object, the developed robot hand shows compliant grasping motions by the back-drivable characteristics of equipped actuator modules. To validate the feasibility of the developed robot hand and introduced control scheme, collective experiments are carried out with the developed robot hand, KITECH Hand.

Purpose : This describes our experience with a tenocutaneous free flap from the dorsum of the foot or radial forearm to reconstruct the dorsal skin and extensor tendons of the hand. Material and Methods : Between february 1987 and July 1998, we treated 9 patients with composite tissue loss on the dorsal hand caused by crushing injury. Nine men had an average age of 26.4 years(range, $19{\sim}47$). We treated 5 patients with the free dorsalis pedis flap including the extensor tendons and the superficial peroneal nerve and 4 patients with reverse forearm flap including the brachioradialis tendon and/or superficial radial nerve. Flap size was average 4.4(3,2cm. Evaluation of the results was based on the survived flap rate, the recovery rates for range of motion of the metacarpophalageal joints in the operated fingers. two-point discrimination. Results : All flaps were well vascularized and survived completely. Recovery rates for range of motion of the metacarpophalageal joints in operated fingers range from $78%{\sim}99%$(average, 90%). Two-point discrimination of the transferred flaps in 5 patients average $20{\pm}3.5mm$. Conclusion : The advantages of this procedure are mass action reconstruction with tendon, one-stage operation, faster healing with less adhesion formation, and early mobilization.
