The Hand-object Kinematic Model for Bimanual Manipulation

This paper addresses the planar finger kinematics for seeking optimized manipulation strategies. The first step is to model based on geometric features of linear and rotation motion so that the robot can select the fingers configurations. This kinematic model considers the motion between hands and object. Based on 2-finger manipulation cases, this model can output the strategies for bimanual manipulation. For executing strategies, the second step is to seek the appropriate values of finger joints according to the ending orientation of fingers. The simulation shows that the computed solutions can complete the relative rotation and linear motion of unknown objects.
