- Description:
- Ken Salisbury for the design and build-up of the Salisbury robotic hand. Ken Salisbury designed the "Salisbury Hand" (originally known as the Stanford/JPL hand) while he was a graduate student at Stanford as an advisee of Prof. Bernie Roth in Mechanical Engineering. In collaboration with Carl Ruoff at NASA/Jet Propulsion Labs and Prof. Roth, the hand was designed to be a platform for investigation of robotic grasping and dexterous manipulation. Commercialized through Ken's "Salisbury Robotics" company in the early 80's this hand became a popular research platform for many years and continues to be an icon symbolic of robotic dexterity. In the years since, Ken's labs have spawned an number of well-known robotic and haptic devices, including the MIT-W AM arm (now known as the Barrett Arm from Barrett Technology), the PHANToM Haptic Interface from Sensable Technology, telesurgical devices commercialized by Intuitive Surgical, and most recently the first version of the Personal Robot that is now being commercialized by Willow Garage.
