Hands and grippers - DLR
Our experience in developing, building and using dexterous robot hands reaches back to 1993. Our work scope covers all areas from multisensory mechatronic hand design up to control of the hands including telemanipulation, autonomous grasping and manipulation.
The experience acquired during the last 10 years of research is now being used to design a hydrogen fuel cell system – the principal source of energy for the HY4. While earlier projects and configurations were only fitted with a pilot’s seat, the new HY4 aircraft concept can carry four peo- ple. One important detail is the coupling of the low …
DLR-HIT Hand II
