Teleoperation of an Anthropomorphic Robot Hand with a Metamorphic Palm and Tunable-Stiffness Soft Fingers.

Soft robotics
Teleoperation in soft robotics can endow soft robots with the ability to perform complex tasks through human-robot interaction. In this study, we propose a teleoperated anthropomorphic soft robot hand with variable degrees of freedom (DOFs) and a met...

Design and hierarchical analysis of magnetic actuated robot: A governing equation based approach.

Computers in biology and medicine
As the alternative solution to the conventional guidewire, the magnetic robot can help interventionists perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because magnetic fields are transparent and safe for biological tissues. Despite extensive resear...

Sensory manipulation as a countermeasure to robot teleoperation delays: system and evidence.

Scientific reports
In the realm of robotics and automation, robot teleoperation, which facilitates human-machine interaction in distant or hazardous settings, has surged in significance. A persistent issue in this domain is the delays between command issuance and actio...

Machine learning prediction of footwear slip resistance on glycerol-contaminated surfaces: A pilot study.

Applied ergonomics
Slippery surfaces due to oil spills pose a significant risk in various environments, including industrial workplaces, kitchens, garages, and outdoor areas. These situations can lead to accidents and falls, resulting in injuries that range from minor ...

Immersive participatory design of assistive robots to support older adults.

Ergonomics
Assistive robots have the potential to support independence, enhance safety, and lower healthcare costs for older adults, as well as alleviate the demands of their care partners. However, ensuring that these robots will effectively and reliably addre...

3D-Printed Origami Actuators for a Multianimal-Inspired Soft Robot with Amphibious Locomotion and Tongue Hunting.

Soft robotics
The field of soft robotics is rapidly evolving, and there is a growing interest in developing soft robots with bioinspired features for use in various applications. This research presented the design and development of 3D-printed origami actuators fo...

Soft Artificial Muscle Based on Pre-Detwinned Shape Memory Alloy Spring Actuator Achieving High Passive Assistive Torque for Wearable Robot.

Soft robotics
For designing the assistive wearable rehabilitation robots, it is challenging to design the robot as energy efficient because the actuators have to be capable of overcoming human loads such as gravity of the body and spastic torque continuously durin...

Novel Operation Mechanism and Multifunctional Applications of Bubble Microrobots.

Advanced healthcare materials
Microrobots have emerged as powerful tools for manipulating particles, cells, and assembling biological tissue structures at the microscale. However, achieving precise and flexible operation of arbitrary-shaped microstructures in 3D space remains a c...

Realization and Control of Robotic Injection Prototype With Instantaneous Remote Center of Motion Mechanism.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Although there have been studies conducted on the instantaneous remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism, the general closed-loop control method has not been studied. Thus, this article fills that gap and employs the advantages of this mech...

Kinematics, dynamics and control of stiffness-tunable soft robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Modeling and control methods for stiffness-tunable soft robots (STSRs) have received less attention compared to standard soft robots. A major challenge in controlling STSRs is their infinite degrees of freedom, similar to standard soft robots. In thi...
