Itbegins withan overview of advances in main control techniques that have been made over the past decade before addressing the military context for affordable robotic hand technology with tactile and\/or proprioceptive feedback for hand amputees. Kinematics, homogeneous transformations, inverse and differential kinematics, trajectory planning, and dynamic models of two-link thumb and three-link index finger are discussed in detail. The remainder of the book is devoted to the most promising soft computing techniques, particle swarm optimization techniques, and strategies combining hard and soft controls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition, the book:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a report on exciting new developments in prosthetic\/robotic hand technology, with an emphasis on the fusion of hard and soft control strategies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers both prosthetic and non-prosthetic hand designs for everything from routine human operations, robotic surgery, and repair and maintenance, to hazardous materials handling, space applications, explosives disposal, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a comprehensive overview of five-fingered robotic hand technology kinematics, dynamics, and control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures detailed coverage of important recent developments in neuroprosthetics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFusion of Hard and Soft Control Strategies for Robotic Hand\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for researchers in control engineering, robotic engineering, biomedical sciences and engineering, and rehabilitation engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHENG-HUNG CHEN, PhD2, IEEE Senior Member,\u003c\/b\u003e is an Applications Engineer at Synova USA in Secaucus, New Jersey, which is Micro-Machining Center of Laser MicroJet© technology.
