Abstract
To achieve a human like grasping with a multi fingered robot hand, an interaction with vision and tactile information is indispensable. The method to use the camera for the vision information acquisition of the robot hand is common. The camera is effective globally but incorrect locally because of blind spot and the shadow of robot hand itself. Therefore it is thought that acquisition of approach and contact information to the object continually is very effective for grasping by introducing the proximity sensor which is sensing distance of several centimeter from an object. This time we propose a method that make tactile sensor coexist with proximity sensor in a finger-tip.
