Human Grasp Evaluation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
From Robot to Human Grasping Simulation

Part of the book series: Cognitive Systems Monographs ((COSMOS,volume 19))

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to present a review of the grasp quality measures that have been proposed and then the adaptation of the most common robotic grasp quality measures to the human hand grasp evaluation. Additionally, we propose complementary quality indices that may consider biomechanical aspects not taken into account by the robotic indices.
