Nocturnal enuresis is a bothersome condition that affects many children and their caregivers. Post-voiding systems is of little value in training a child into a correct voiding routing while existing pre-voiding systems suffer from several practical ...
Humans recognize and manipulate objects relying on the multidimensional force features captured by the tactile sense of skin during the manipulation. Since the current sensors integrated in robots cannot support the robots to sense the multiple inter...
