Robot Finger for Violin Fingering

When a human plays the violin, motion for plucking the bowstrings as well as a violin fingering technique for pressing the strings using fingers are required. The violin fingering plays an important role in determining the tone or sound when the violin is being played. So, we developed a robot hand that functions as the left hand of the existing violin-playing robot. The design incorporates anthropomorphic finger mechanisms with force sensing capabilities.
