Short summary
The aim of this study is to integrate suggested control algorithms with a mechatronic design of underactuated adjustable stiffness finger for improving grasping operation. The designed robot finger system has the following main features: (1) preventing damage of objects during contact with phalanges, (2) having firm grasping, (3) adjusting grasped-forces on phalanges by stiffness of joints, and (4) implementing job independently without external control unit.
