Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of recognition of human grasps for five-fingered robotic hands and industrial robots in the context of programming-by-demonstration. The robot is instructed by a human operator wearing a data glove capturing the hand poses. For a number of human grasps, the corresponding fingertip trajectories are modeled in time and space by fuzzy clustering and Takagi-Sugeno (TS) modeling. This so-called time-clustering leads to grasp models using time as an input parameter and fingertip positions as outputs. For a sequence of grasps, the control system of the robot hand identifies the grasp segments, classifies the grasps and generates the sequence of grasps shown before. For this purpose, each grasp is correlated with a training sequence. By means of a hybrid fuzzy model, the demonstrated grasp sequence can be reconstructed.
