Biomimetics, MDPI AG, 11, 4, 257-257, 08 Apr. 2026, Peer-reviwed, To meet daily grasping needs under lightweight, low-complexity wearable constraints, this study proposes an underactuated multi-finger prosthetic hand with transmission–control co-design to achieve predictable multi-joint synergies and stable grasps under limited actuation. The prototype uses six miniature motors to drive 14 joint degrees of freedom (DOFs): four fingers have active metacarpophalangeal actuation with tendon-driven underactuated proximal and distal interphalangeal joints, while the thumb provides two independently controlled DOFs for opposition expansion and posture adjustment. It supports five-finger power grasps, tripod pinches, and lateral pinches. To mitigate tendon slack and stroke inconsistency, active/passive tendon-length constraints are defined, and an equal-stroke configuration is obtained via chord-to-arc mapping. A layered STM32F767-based controller combines a reference rotation range limit (free motion) with encoder speed-decay detection (contact/near-stall) to realize per-finger termination and overdrive protection without force/tactile sensors. Experiments report a total mass of 176.6 g and a peak single-finger driving force of approximately 2.8 N. Following the Feix GRASP taxonomy (33 types), the hand reproduces 24 types (72.7%), covering power, intermediate and precision grasps, both thumb abduction/adduction postures, and palm–pad–side opposition/contact, with stable grasp formation across objects of varying geometries.

Augmenting perceived stickiness of physical objects through tactile feedback after finger lift-off
Tadatoshi Kurogi; Yuki Inoue; Takeshi Fujiwara; Kouta Minamizawa
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 18 Sep. 2024, Peer-reviwed, Haptic Augmented Reality (HAR) is a method that actively modulates the perceived haptics of physical objects by presenting additional haptic feedback using a haptic display. However, most of the proposed HAR research focuses on modifying the hardness, softness, roughness, smoothness, friction, and surface shape of physical objects. In this paper, we propose an approach to augment the perceived stickiness of a physical object by presenting additional tactile feedback at a particular time after the finger lifts off from the physical object using a thin and soft tactile display suitable for HAR. To demonstrate this concept, we constructed a thin and soft tactile display using a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator suitable for HAR. We then conducted two experiments to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. In Experiment 1, we showed that the developed tactile display can augment the perceived stickiness of physical objects by presenting additional tactile feedback at appropriate times. In Experiment 2, we investigated the stickiness experience obtained by our proposed approach and showed that the realism of the stickiness experience and the harmony between the physical object and the additional tactile feedback are affected by the frequency and presentation timing of the tactile feedback. Our proposed approach is expected to contribute to the development of new applications not only in HAR, but also in Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, and other domains using haptic displays.
