Abstract

The synthesis of human hand motion and grasping of arbitrary shaped objects is a very complex problem. Therefore high-level control is needed to perform these actions. In order to satisfy the kinematic and physical constraints associated with the human hand and to reduce the enormous search space associated with the problem of grasping objects, a knowledge based approach is used. A three-phased scheme is presented which incorporates the role of the hand, the object, the environment and the animator. The implementation of a hand simulation system HANDS is discussed.
