Abstract

Interesting analogies could be made between the human fingers and the robotic ones, having in view the force measurement possibilities. Comparing technical variants utilized in Robotics (“intelligent connection between perception and action” as Mike Bradley observed), one may say that four fingers ensure a good gripping force while two fingers satisfy only simplified gripping models, schematically representing different human functions. The corresponding structural variants, equipped with strain gauges connected in Wheatstone bridge, are shown in this chapter, as well as other applications: devices for handwriting analysis, force feedback, data and fuzzy gloves, vision-based force transducers for Microrobotics.
