Design and Experimental Research of Robot Finger Sliding Tactile Sensor Based on FBG.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Aiming at the problem of flexible sliding tactile sensing for the actual grasp of intelligent robot fingers, a double-layer sliding tactile sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) for robot fingers is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the optimal em...

Proprioception and Exteroception of a Soft Robotic Finger Using Neuromorphic Vision-Based Sensing.

Soft robotics
Equipping soft robotic grippers with sensing and perception capabilities faces significant challenges due to their high compliance and flexibility, limiting their ability to successfully interact with the environment. In this work, we propose a senso...

PhotoElasticFinger: Robot Tactile Fingertip Based on Photoelastic Effect.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The sense of touch is fundamental for a one-to-one mapping between the environment and a robot that physically interacts with the environment. Herein, we describe a tactile fingertip design that can robustly detect interaction forces given data colle...

Finger-inspired rigid-soft hybrid tactile sensor with superior sensitivity at high frequency.

Nature communications
Among kinds of flexible tactile sensors, piezoelectric tactile sensor has the advantage of fast response for dynamic force detection. However, it suffers from low sensitivity at high-frequency dynamic stimuli. Here, inspired by finger structure-rigid...

Finger dexterity measured by the Grooved Pegboard test indexes Parkinson's motor severity in a tremor-independent manner.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
Fine motor impairments are frequent complaints in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). While they may develop at an early stage of the disease, they become more problematic as the disease progresses. Tremors and fine motor symptoms may seem related,...

A Novel Wearable Soft Glove for Hand Rehabilitation and Assistive Grasping.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In order to assist patients with finger rehabilitation training and grasping objects, we propose a new type of soft rehabilitation gloves (SRGs), which has both flexion/extension and abduction/adduction movement function for every finger. This paper ...

Explainable Deep Learning Model for EMG-Based Finger Angle Estimation Using Attention.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Electromyography (EMG) is one of the most common methods to detect muscle activities and intentions. However, it has been difficult to estimate accurate hand motions represented by the finger joint angles using EMG signals. We propose an encoder-deco...

Human Grasp Mechanism Understanding, Human-Inspired Grasp Control and Robotic Grasping Planning for Agricultural Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
As the end execution tool of agricultural robots, the manipulator directly determines whether the grasping task can be successfully completed. The human hand can adapt to various objects and achieve stable grasping, which is the highest goal for mani...

Human Pulse Detection by a Soft Tactile Actuator.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Soft sensing technologies offer promising prospects in the fields of soft robots, wearable devices, and biomedical instruments. However, the structural design, fabrication process, and sensing algorithm design of the soft devices confront great diffi...

Large-Area and Low-Cost Force/Tactile Capacitive Sensor for Soft Robotic Applications.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a novel design and development of a low-cost and multi-touch sensor based on capacitive variations. This new sensor is very flexible and easy to fabricate, making it an appropriate choice for soft robot applications. Materials (co...
