Abstract
This paper proposes a noncontact operation robotic hand using magnetic suspension system. This robotic hand will consist of a noncontact catching part and four movable fingers. The noncontact catching part will be realized by a permanent magnetic suspension system, and will be used to pick up and catch the metal body. There is a permanent magnet on the top of each moveable finger, which operates the suspended metal body without contact. This paper focuses on the feasibility and performance of the noncontact operation using the movable fingers with permanent magnets.
