Design of the Utah/M.I.T. Dextrous Hand
Abstract
The Center for Engineering Design at the University of Utah, and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a robotic end effector intended to function as a general purpose research tool for the study of machine dexterity. The high performance, multifingered hand will provide two important capabilities. First, it will permit the experimental investigation of basic concepts in manipulation theory, control system design and tactile sensing. Second, it will expand understanding required for the future design of physical machinery and will serve as a "test bed" for the development of tactile sensing systems. The paper includes: 1) a discussion of issues important to the development of manipulation machines; 2) general comments regarding design of the Utah/M.I.T. Dextrous Hand; and, 3) a detailed discussion of specific subsystems of the hand.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
