ABSTRACT

Background

This study presents a comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) of a biomimetic robotic finger to evaluate its structural and dynamic performance when fabricated from two distinct materials: an aluminum alloy and a carbon-fiber composite.

Methods

Static structural and Modal analysis was conducted using two flexion-based load cases representative of typical and high-grasp human finger postures.

Keywords : Robotic Finger; Finite Element Analysis; Composite Material; Structural Integrity; Modal Analysis; Lightweight Design
