Design and Fabrication of a Six Degree-of-Freedom Open Source Hand.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Jun 15, 2015
Currently, most externally powered prostheses are controlled using electromyography (or EMG), which is the measure of the electrical signals that are produced when voluntary muscle is contracted. One of the major problems is that there are a limited ...
Predicting propulsive forces using distributed sensors in a compliant, high DOF, robotic fin.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 18, 2015
Engineered robotic fins have adapted principles of propulsion from bony-finned fish, using spatially-varying compliance and complex kinematics to produce and control the fin's propulsive force through time. While methods of force production are well ...
MEMS sensors for assessing flow-related control of an underwater biomimetic robotic stingray.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 18, 2015
A major difference between manmade underwater robotic vehicles (URVs) and undersea animals is the dense arrays of sensors on the body of the latter which enable them to execute extreme control of their limbs and demonstrate super-maneuverability. The...
Measuring information transfer in a soft robotic arm.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
Soft robots can exhibit diverse behaviors with simple types of actuation by partially outsourcing control to the morphological and material properties of their soft bodies, which is made possible by the tight coupling between control, body, and envir...
Learning the inverse kinetics of an octopus-like manipulator in three-dimensional space.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
This work addresses the inverse kinematics problem of a bioinspired octopus-like manipulator moving in three-dimensional space. The bioinspired manipulator has a conical soft structure that confers the ability of twirling around objects as a real oct...
Octopus-inspired multi-arm robotic swimming.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
The outstanding locomotor and manipulation characteristics of the octopus have recently inspired the development, by our group, of multi-functional robotic swimmers, featuring both manipulation and locomotion capabilities, which could be of significa...
Octopus-like suction cups: from natural to artificial solutions.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
Octopus suckers are able to attach to all nonporous surfaces and generate a very strong attachment force. The well-known attachment features of this animal result from the softness of the sucker tissues and the surface morphology of the portion of th...
Modal kinematics for multisection continuum arms.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
This paper presents a novel spatial kinematic model for multisection continuum arms based on mode shape functions (MSF). Modal methods have been used in many disciplines from finite element methods to structural analysis to approximate complex and no...
Online kernel slow feature analysis for temporal video segmentation and tracking.
IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Apr 29, 2015
Slow feature analysis (SFA) is a dimensionality reduction technique which has been linked to how visual brain cells work. In recent years, the SFA was adopted for computer vision tasks. In this paper, we propose an exact kernel SFA (KSFA) framework f...
