Abstract: The main goal of this research is to study and develop a human-like manipulation system for humanoid robots.
Because of the its multidisciplinary nature, the research will face many tasks:

- Design and construction of the humanoid arm and hand will be based on a bio-mimetic approach.
- New kind of sensors and actuators will be experimented with the aims to integrate them in the artificial limb.
- A novel artificial control system, based on the simulation of the human neural reflex control, will be studied and implemented.
- Study in simulation the main aspects of mobility and dexterity to support the arm development.
- It is our intention to use the research results to better understand the human limb.

Those tasks will be approached with different details. In fact, during the work, the study will be focused on the more innovative aspects, in order to produce valid and competitive scientific results
