Towards humanlike grasp in robotic hands: mechanical implementation of force synergies.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In the field of robotic hands, finger force coordination is usually achieved by complex mechanical structures and control systems. This study presents the design of a novel transmission system inspired from the physiological concept of force synergie...

A Sensorized Soft Robotic Hand with Adhesive Fingertips for Multimode Grasping and Manipulation.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic grippers excel at achieving conformal and reliable contact with objects without the need for complex control algorithms. However, they still lack in grasp and manipulation abilities compared with human hands. In this study, we present a ...

Enhancing the Versatility and Performance of Soft Robotic Grippers, Hands, and Crawling Robots Through Three-Dimensional-Printed Multifunctional Buckling Joints.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic grippers and hands offer adaptability, lightweight construction, and enhanced safety in human-robot interactions. In this study, we introduce vacuum-actuated soft robotic finger joints to overcome their limitations in stiffness, response...

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...

From Skin Movement to Wearable Robotics: The Case of Robotic Gloves.

Soft robotics
Previous research on wearable robotics focused on developing actuation mechanisms while overlooking influences of skin movement. During finger flexion, skins on the opisthenar and finger back are stretched. Impeding such skin movement will obstruct n...

A Multimodal Multilevel Converged Attention Network for Hand Gesture Recognition With Hybrid sEMG and A-Mode Ultrasound Sensing.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Gesture recognition based on surface electromyography (sEMG) has been widely used in the field of human-machine interaction (HMI). However, sEMG has limitations, such as low signal-to-noise ratio and insensitivity to fine finger movements, so we cons...

Transformation of foldable robotic hand to scissor-like shape for pinching based on human hand movement.

Scientific reports
Increasing the number of degrees of freedom for multi-finger robotic hands is necessary to achieve high performance. However, this increases structural complexity and the obtained improvement may be small. Humans change the shape of their hands by ex...

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
With the development of artificial intelligence, robots are widely used in various fields, grasping detection has been the focus of intelligent robot research. A dual manipulator grasping detection model based on Markov decision process is proposed t...

A Novel Soft Glove Utilizing Honeycomb Pneumatic Actuators (HPAs) for Assisting Activities of Daily Living.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Fabric-based pneumatic actuators (FPAs) are extensively employed in the design of lightweight and compliant soft wearable assistive gloves. However, conventional FPAs typically exhibit limited output force, thereby restricting the applications of suc...

Initial Testing of Robotic Exoskeleton Hand Device for Stroke Rehabilitation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The preliminary test results of a novel robotic hand rehabilitation device aimed at treatment for the loss of motor abilities in the fingers and thumb due to stroke are presented. This device has been developed in collaboration with physiotherapists ...
