Abstract
Wrist movements play a crucial role in upper-limb motor tasks. As prosthetic and robotic hand technologies have evolved, increasing attention has been focused on replicating the anatomy and functionality of the wrist. Closely imitating the biomechanics and movement mechanisms of human limbs is expected to enhance the overall performance of bionic robotic hands. This study presents the design of a tendon-driven bionic spherical robot wrist, utilizing two pairs of cables that mimic antagonist muscle pairs. The cables are actuated by pulleys driven by servo motors, allowing for two primary wrist motions: flexion-extension and ulnar-radial deviation. The performance Please confirm if the "1583 Iiyama" is necessary. Same as belowof the proposed robot wrist is validated through manipulation experiments using a prototype, demonstrating its capability to achieve a full range of motion for both ulnar and radial deviation. This wrist mechanism is expected to be integrated into robotic systems, enabling greater flexibility and more human-like movement capabilities.
