BACKGROUND: The hysteretic forces arising from the electric cables that externally run along the robotic joints are the main disturbance to the precise parameter estimation of gravity compensation model, for the Master Tool Manipulator (MTM) of the d...
Passive movement is an important mean of rehabilitation for stroke survivors in the early stage or with greater paralysis. The upper extremity robot is required to assist therapists with passive movement during clinical rehabilitation, while customiz...
Underwater robots are useful for exploring valuable resources and marine life. Traditional underwater robots use screw propellers, which may be harmful to marine life. In contrast, robots that incorporate the swimming principles, morphologies, and so...

BACKGROUND: The conventional hand-held minimally invasive surgical devices commonly suffer from non-intuitive manipulability and restricted flexibility for operation.
Much of the research on bioinspired soft robotics has focused on capturing the interplay of biological form and function. However, existing soft robotic actuators are mostly made with linear or planar fabrication orientations that do not represent th...
In morphology field, the functions of an asymmetric-shaped distal phalanx in human finger have only been inferred. In this study, we used an engineering approach to empirically examine the effects of the shape of distal phalanx on the ability of prec...
Rapid developments of robotics and virtual reality technology are raising the requirements of more advanced human-machine interfaces for achieving efficient parallel control. Exoskeleton as an assistive wearable device, usually requires a huge cost a...
Soft grippers have experienced a growing interest due to their considerable flexibility that allows them to grasp a variety of objects, in contrast to hard grippers, which are designed for a specific item. One of their most remarkable characteristics...
