Dragging is a type of non-conventional locomotion has the benefits of being physically small, able to move on rough surface and simple to implement. This paper describes a tele-operated three-finger robot that uses dragging to achieve locomotion. Through coordinated motion of the three fingers, it can move forward, backward, left and right by dragging its body. {\^A}{\copyright} 2011 IEEE.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84855678905&doi=10.1109\%2fISIEA.2011.6108737&partnerID=40&md5=463fcf8de577440713ce4810831f4b1d}, keywords = {Coordinated motion; Mobile robotic; Rough surfaces; Search and rescue; Teleoperated, Industrial electronics; Materials handling; Robotics, Robots}, author = {Kalid, K.
