Humanlike spontaneous motion coordination of robotic fingers through spatial multi-input spike signal multiplexing.

Nature communications
With advances in robotic technology, the complexity of control of robot has been increasing owing to fundamental signal bottlenecks and limited expressible logic state of the von Neumann architecture. Here, we demonstrate coordinated movement by a fu...

Cooperative Hand Therapy via a Soft, Wearable, and Unilateral Telerobotic System.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Functional rehabilitation of the hand is a complex and difficult process involving a large number of degrees of freedom (DOFs). Soft wearable hand-rehabilitation robots have assisted hand movements with a compact structural design, but effective reha...

Finger-palm synergistic soft gripper for dynamic capture via energy harvesting and dissipation.

Nature communications
Robotic grippers, inspired by human hands, show an extraordinary ability to manipulate objects of various shapes, sizes, or materials. However, capturing objects with varying kinetic energy remains challenging, regardless of the classical rigid-bodie...

A hydraulic soft microgripper for biological studies.

Scientific reports
We have developed a microscale hydraulic soft gripper and demonstrated the handling of an insect without damage. This gripper is built on Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with the soft material casting technique to form three finger-like columns, which ar...

Design and Gesture Optimization of a Soft-Rigid Robotic Hand for Adaptive Grasping.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic hands are inherently safer and more compliant in robot-environment interaction than rigid manipulators, but their flexibility and versatility still need improving. In this article, a gesture adaptive soft-rigid robotic hand is proposed. ...

A mechanics-based approach to realize high-force capacity electroadhesives for robots.

Science robotics
Materials with electroprogrammable stiffness and adhesion can enhance the performance of robotic systems, but achieving large changes in stiffness and adhesive forces in real time is an ongoing challenge. Electroadhesive clutches can rapidly adhere h...

Co-optimization of robotic design and skill inspired by human hand evolution.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
During evolution of the human hand, evolutionary morphology has been closely related to behavior in complicated environments. Numerous researchers have revealed that learned skills have affected hand evolution. Inspired by this phenomenon, a co-optim...

Dataset with Tactile and Kinesthetic Information from a Human Forearm and Its Application to Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
There are physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) applications where the robot has to grab the human body, such as rescue or assistive robotics. Being able to precisely estimate the grasping location when grabbing a human limb is crucial to perform a...

Modular Bioinspired Hand with Multijoint Rigid-Soft Finger Possessing Proprioception.

Soft robotics
Soft robot hands have the advantage of remarkable adaptability for grasping. Especially for the soft and fragile objects, soft fingers had presented their much excellent potential compared with their rigid counterparts. However, less degree of freedo...
