Abstract

This paper deals with the telemanipulation of generic objects, with the use of telepresence action. The movement of a mechanical hand with cooperating fingers is obtained by means of motors control with computer software, and/or by voice control, and/or by means of a sensorised glove worn on the operator's hand. The results demonstrate that if telemanipulation is executed with care and dexterity, it is possible to obtain congruous controlled movements of the mechanical hand. The software orientated towards telemanipulation and the grasping of generic objects can be developed for non-structured environments such as the space sectors, which are particularluy considered in this research.
