Multi-dimensional mechanoreceptors are crucial for both humans and robots, providing omnidirectional force/torque senses to ensure dexterous and precise manipulations. Current six-axis force/torque sensors are bulky, heavy, and rigid with complicated...
Biometrics-based authentication systems have recently been considered as one of the safest methods to secure our data or possessions. In the literature, the solutions based on one or two measurable traits are broadly described. There was also claim t...
Brain-machine interfaces (BMI) aim to restore function to persons living with spinal cord injuries by 'decoding' neural signals into behavior. Recently, nonlinear BMI decoders have outperformed previous state-of-the-art linear decoders, but few studi...

Supernumerary robotic finger (SRF) has shown unique advantages in the field of motor augmentation and rehabilitation, while the development of brain computer interface (BCI) technology has provided the possibility for direct control of SRF. However, ...
In dexterous robotic hand design, achieving high mobility and adaptability comparable to human hands remains an ongoing challenge. Biomimetic designs mimicking the musculoskeletal structure have shown promise yet face difficulties in preserving key k...
Dealing with grasping tasks in unstructured environments, existing soft grippers often exhibit a lack of static stability, while rigid-soft hybrid grippers display limited compliance due to the fixed connections at the joints. To address the challeng...
Currently, finger vein recognition (FVR) stands as a pioneering biometric technology, with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformers, among other advanced deep neural networks (DNNs), consistently pushing the boundaries of recognition acc...
Soft robotic hands with integrated sensing capabilities hold great potential for interactive operations. Previous work has typically focused on integrating sensors with fingers. The palm, as a large and crucial contact region providing mechanical sup...
