A Gas-Ribbon-Hybrid Actuated Soft Finger with Active Variable Stiffness.

Soft robotics
A new hybrid actuated soft finger with active variable stiffness is proposed for the first time by integrating gas-driven and ribbon-driven mechanisms. By carefully coordinating the two mechanisms, the bending deformation and the stiffness modulation...

Tactile Model O: Fabrication and Testing of a 3D-Printed, Three-Fingered Tactile Robot Hand.

Soft robotics
Bringing tactile sensation to robotic hands will allow for more effective grasping, along with a wide range of benefits of human-like touch. Here, we present a three-dimensional-printed, three-fingered tactile robot hand comprising an OpenHand ModelO...

EEG-based trial-by-trial texture classification during active touch.

Scientific reports
Trial-by-trial texture classification analysis and identifying salient texture related EEG features during active touch that are minimally influenced by movement type and frequency conditions are the main contributions of this work. A total of twelve...

Myoelectric digit action decoding with multi-output, multi-class classification: an offline analysis.

Scientific reports
The ultimate goal of machine learning-based myoelectric control is simultaneous and independent control of multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs), including wrist and digit artificial joints. For prosthetic finger control, regression-based methods are ty...

Deep Learning Approach for Multimodal Biometric Recognition System Based on Fusion of Iris, Face, and Finger Vein Traits.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With the increasing demand for information security and security regulations all over the world, biometric recognition technology has been widely used in our everyday life. In this regard, multimodal biometrics technology has gained interest and beca...

3D Printed Robot Hand Structure Using Four-Bar Linkage Mechanism for Prosthetic Application.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Trans-radial prosthesis is a wearable device that intends to help amputees under the elbow to replace the function of the missing anatomical segment that resembles an actual human hand. However, there are some challenging aspects faced mainly on the ...

ResOT: Resource-Efficient Oblique Trees for Neural Signal Classification.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
Classifiers that can be implemented on chip with minimal computational and memory resources are essential for edge computing in emerging applications such as medical and IoT devices. This paper introduces a machine learning model based on oblique dec...

Negshell casting: 3D-printed structured and sacrificial cores for soft robot fabrication.

PloS one
Soft robot fabrication by casting liquid elastomer often requires multiple steps of casting or skillful manual labor. We present a novel soft robotic fabrication technique: negshell casting (negative-space eggshell casting), that reduces the steps re...

Simultaneous Hand Gesture Classification and Finger Angle Estimation via a Novel Dual-Output Deep Learning Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Hand gesture classification and finger angle estimation are both critical for intuitive human-computer interaction. However, most approaches study them in isolation. We thus propose a dual-output deep learning model to enable simultaneous hand gestur...

Proprioceptive Estimation of Forces Using Underactuated Fingers for Robot-Initiated pHRI.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI), forces exerted by humans need to be estimated to accommodate robot commands to human constraints, preferences, and needs. This paper presents a method for the estimation of the interaction forces between a ...
