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...

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 ...
