摘要：The paper presents the development of wearable robot called supernumerary robotic fingers (SRF) that can be integrated with 3D Animation. The robot comprises of two parts, robotic finger (RF) and robotic thumb (RT). RF is located next to little finger, and RT is located next to the thumb. The robot is driven by modified glove sensor. 3D CAD model is exported into SimMechanics for 3D Animation purpose under MATLAB/Simulink environment. Forward kinematics of the robot is studied using SimMechanics and the trajectory of each robotic fingertip will be calculated. Based on the experimental result, the robot and its 3D animation can be operated by a healthy person in real time. The robot can assist in object manipulation with ten-inch tablet using single human hand.
