Hyperlipidemia detection involves invasive, time-consuming procedures requiring clinical laboratories and blood samples. Often asymptomatic in its early stages, hyperlipidemia significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The objective...
Understanding object information during robotic hand grasping is a key goal in robotics. Researchers have integrated tactile sensors to replicate artificial haptics on humanoid robot fingertips, but robotic grasping has yet to be fully applied in pal...
With the rapid advancements in automation and soft robotics, the exploration of mobile robots for applications in complex environments is increasingly deepening. This paper presents a novel dual soft arm mobile robot (DSAMR), whose design integrates ...
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of soft finger actuators using finite element modeling to assess their performance in various structural configurations. By conducting detailed numerical simulations, we explore how variations in structura...
One of the earliest and most enigmatic forms of rock art are finger flutings and previous methods of studying them relied on biometric finger ratios from modern populations to make assumptions about the people who left the flutings, which is theoreti...
The dexterity of the human hand is largely due to its multiple degrees of freedom. However, coordinating the movements of the ring and little fingers independently can be challenging because of the biomechanical and neurological interdependencies bet...
BACKGROUND: Identifying bradykinesia is crucial for diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD). Traditionally, the finger-tapping test has been used, relying on subjective assessments by physicians. Computer vision offers a non-contact and cost-effective al...
Dexterous manipulation in robotics requires coordinated sensing, signal processing, and actuation for real-time, precise object control. Despite advances, the current artificial tactile sensory system lacks the proficiency of the human sensory system...
