Manipulation for self-Identification, and self-Identification for better manipulation.

Science robotics
The process of modeling a series of hand-object parameters is crucial for precise and controllable robotic in-hand manipulation because it enables the mapping from the hand's actuation input to the object's motion to be obtained. Without assuming tha...

Robotic hand augmentation drives changes in neural body representation.

Science robotics
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices....

Complex manipulation with a simple robotic hand through contact breaking and caging.

Science robotics
Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In this work, we leveraged a potential energy-based whole-hand manipulation model, which does n...

Tuning the Mechanical and Geometric Properties of Electrochemically Aligned Collagen Threads Toward Applications in Biohybrid Robotics.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Electrochemically aligned collagen (ELAC) threads fabricated by the isoelectric focusing (IF) of collagen have previously shown potential in tissue engineering and more recently in the fabrication of biohybrid robot structures. For applications in bi...

Real-Time Analysis of the Dynamic Foot Function: A Machine Learning and Finite Element Approach.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Finite element analysis (FEA) has been widely used to study foot biomechanics and pathological functions or effects of therapeutic solutions. However, development and analysis of such foot modeling is complex and time-consuming. The purpose of this s...

A resonant squid-inspired robot unlocks biological propulsive efficiency.

Science robotics
Elasticity has been linked to the remarkable propulsive efficiency of pulse-jet animals such as the squid and jellyfish, but reports that quantify the underlying dynamics or demonstrate its application in robotic systems are rare. This work identifie...

A controllable dual-catapult system inspired by the biomechanics of the dragonfly larvae's predatory strike.

Science robotics
The biomechanics underlying the predatory strike of dragonfly larvae is not yet understood. Dragonfly larvae are aquatic ambush predators, capturing their prey with a strongly modified extensible mouthpart. The current theory of hydraulic pressure be...

A soft exosuit for hip extension assistance of the elderly.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Population aging is now a universal trend. Many elderly persons can only conduct limited and short time walking because of age-related skeletal muscle decline of the lower limbs. The wearable device for walking assistance is beneficial to...

Kinematic dexterity analysis of human-robot interaction of an upper limb rehabilitation robot.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: The definition of rehabilitation training trajectory is of great significance during rehabilitation training, and the dexterity of human-robot interaction motion provides a basis for selecting the trajectory of interaction motion.
