RoboTouch - BarrettHand

Primer
The BH8-series BarrettHand is a multi-fingered programmable grasper with the dexterity to secure target objects of different sizes, shapes, and orientations. The BH8-series immediately multiplies the value of any arm requiring flexible automation. It neatly houses a CPU, software, communications electronics, servo-controllers, and all 4 brushless motors. Of its three multi-jointed fingers, two have an extra degree of freedom with 180 degrees of synchronous lateral mobility supporting a large variety of grasp types.







PPS Enhanced System
The Barrett Hand RoboTouch System neatly covers all hand-object contact points with 7 sensor pads:
  • 1 Palm Sensor (24 elements at 10x10mm resolution)
  • 3 Mid-Digit Sensors (each with 24 elements at 6x6mm resolution)
  • 3 Finger-Tip Sensors (each with 22 elements at 6x6mm resolution)

RoboTouch systems feature the same quality performance as found in our other DigiTacts sensors. RoboTouch combines multiple DigiTacts Array modules into a single, integrated unit that can be accessed via I2C in embedded applications or via USB for PC-based acquisition and control systems.
