Abstract

Mechanisms may be used in the design of robotic fingers, in order to obtain drive systems which can be used for gripping or manipulating objects. In this paper, a design methodology for a drive mechanism of an "anthropomorphic finger" is presented. The finger was previously developed by computational tools (CAD) at the UMNG-Colombia. The proposed methodology takes into account the mathematical relationships between the mechanical elements of the drive mechanism to carry out a dimensional synthesis, taking into account that the mechanism must fulfill the anthropometric characteristics of a human hand based on ten numerical positions which were obtained from a previous UMNG work. The numerical simulation results and CAD modeling for the drive mechanism are presented. Finally, a discussion about the results is included.
