The BairClaw is a highly sensorized, multi-articulating, anthropomorphic robot hand testbed with rich proprioceptive and tactile sensing capabilities. The BairClaw was originally conceived for the advancement of artificial grasp, manipulation, and haptic exploration. The system could also be used for the neurorehabilitation of somatosensory disorders due to upper limb impairment or loss...
