Abstract
In this paper, after some considerations on what integration means for a dexterous manipulation system, the design features of the University of Bologna robotic hand system are presented. The prototype of the new hand-arm manipulator, currently at the set-up phase, is described in detail, focusing on the developed solutions with respect to sensorial equipment, hand-arm mechanical integration, and control algorithms for coordination of the arm and hand subsystems to obtain both structural and functional integration.
