ABSTRACT:
In order to improve the grip and remote handling of an object by an "artificial hand" (or "slave hand") remotely controlled by the hand of an operator, the artificial hand is provided with sensors for sensing tactile parameters. The signals produced by these sensors are applied to actuators associated with a "master hand" in the form of a glove in which the hand of the operator is inserted, and the actuators apply tactile sensations to the hand of the operator. The operator thus apparently "feels" the object, as if handling it directly. The remote handling device of the invention is particularly useful for handling objects in a dangerous environment (in the nuclear or chemical industries for example) or out of the reach of the operator (under water or in space).
