Ke Li Institute of Intelligent Medicine Research Center, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China
Abstract
The human hand is a versatile tool to explore and modify the external environment. It represents both the cognitive organ of the sense of touch and the most important end-effector in object manipulation and grasping. Our brain can cope efficiently with the high degree of complexity of the hand, which arises from the huge number of actuators and sensors. This allows us to perform a large number of daily life tasks, from the simple ones, such as determining the ripeness of a fruit or drive a car, to the more complex ...
