Reduced DoFs of digital hand based on anatomy for real time operation

This paper describes a model of using a digital hand, which mimics human hands, operates dynamically in real time operation. Focusing on real time operation, we consider a model structure of digital hand with reduced DoFs (degree of freedoms) as an approximated model, where the reduction is based on the anatomical and medical hand analysis. There some problems because of the approximated model. To overcome the problems, some techniques are implemented into the model. We examine how the model is able to mimic the movement of human hands.
