AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of these known solutions is that an insufficient adhesion between the support device and the object to be contacted is only partially formed and the protrusions protrude partially away from the support device, which reduces the operating comfort
Furthermore, these known solutions are partly complicated and therefore expensive to produce

Embodiment Construction

[0030] The supporting device according to the invention for improving the tactile and / or gripping sensation of a humanoid or humanoid-like robot-shaped hand has active surfaces which cooperate with parts of the respective hand to perform movements. exist figure 1 In the glove shown as hand guard 10 for an anthropomorphic hand, the active surface is formed in figure 1 On each region 14 drawn with hatching in . figure 1 The inside of the hand of a glove for the right hand is shown here. The regions 14 constituting the active surface are provided on the portion of the hand guard 10 covering the tip of the finger 16 , the thumb 18 and the thenar 22 . This supporting device has each (einzeln) stem-shaped protrusion (see image 3 ), these projections with their corresponding free end faces 26 at least partially improve the adhesion of at least some parts of the hand guard 10 when they come into contact with particularly slippery and / or sensitive surfaces.

Abstract

The invention relates to a support device for improving the haptics and / or gripping impression of humanoid or android type hands. Said device comprises an active surface that interacts with parts (16, 18, 22) of the respective hand to carry out a movement and that has individual, stem-like projections, each comprising a free end face such that said projections at least partially improve the adhesion of at least parts of the hand or of a hand protector (10) to surfaces, particularly smooth or delicate surfaces, that are touched. Said invention is characterised in that the respective free end faces (26) of said projections (24) are designed in such a way that the adhesion thereof results from acting van der Waals forces between said free end faces (26) and the respective surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a supporting device according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 for improving the tactile and / or gripping feeling of the hand when touching particularly smooth and / or sensitive surfaces with the hand. Background technique [0002] When touching a smooth and / or sensitive surface in order to perform a movement, for example by a bare human hand or a robotic hand, there is the risk of unwanted relative movements between the surface and the hand touching the surface. Such a relative movement, for example, can cause the article to slip out of the hand and be damaged in the subsequent uncontrolled movement when the article is grasped by hand. However, in particular sensitive surfaces cannot be reliably manipulated by simple measures such as increasing the force of the hand on the contacted object, since this could lead to damage to the sensitive surface. [0003] A supporting device (glove) is known from WO 2008 / 113816 A2 fo...
