Kinematic and dynamic aspects of chimpanzee knuckle walking

Finger flexors likely do not buffer ground impact forces

Chimpanzees are knuckle walkers, with forelimbs contacting the ground by the dorsum of the finger's middle phalanges. As these muscular apes are given to high-velocity motions, the question arises of how the ground reaction forces are buffered so that no damage ensues in the load ...

Humanising robot fingers

Design, prototyping, and validation of an anthropomorphic robot finger with humanoid joint-ligament systems, tendon configurations, and supporting ligaments

Background: Current challenges in the design of anthropomorphic robot fingers is the implementing of anatomically accurate tendon-ligament structures, specifically for the collateral ligaments, volar plates, and the extensor apparatus. The development of robot fingers with these ...
