Soft robotic gloves were designed to aid the rehabilitation process with hand pathologies and coordination of gripping exercises. The main issue in soft robotic actuators is to design a control strategy to overcome deformation in grasping exercises. ...
A robot's ability to grasp moving objects depends on the availability of real-time sensor data in both the far-field and near-field of the gripper. This research investigates the potential contribution of tactile sensing to a task of grasping an obje...
Robotic hands perform several amazing functions similar to the human hands, thereby offering high flexibility in terms of the tasks performed. However, developing integrated hands without additional actuation parts while maintaining important functio...
Compared with traditional rigid grippers, soft grippers are made of lightweight and soft materials and have the characteristics of flexible contact and strong adaptability, which are widely utilized to grasp fragile objects with complex contours and ...

We present a hand functions assessment system (BEAGLE) for kinematic tracking of hand and finger movements, envisioned as a technology-mediated rehabilitation tool. The system is custom-designed for fast and easy placement on an impaired hand (spasti...
Anthropomorphic robotic hands are designed to attain dexterous movements and flexibility much like human hands. Achieving human-like object manipulation remains a challenge especially due to the control complexity of the anthropomorphic robotic hand ...
Rapid progress in technologies such as calcium imaging and electrophysiology has seen a dramatic increase in the size and extent of neural recordings. Even so, interpretation of this data requires considerable knowledge about the nature of the repres...
Tactile sensing is crucial for robots to manipulate objects successfully. However, integrating tactile sensors into robotic hands is still challenging, mainly due to the need to cover small multi-curved surfaces with several components that must be m...
The gripper is the far end of a robotic arm. It is responsible for the contacts between the robot itself and all the items present in a work space, or even in a social space. Therefore, to provide grippers with intelligent behaviors is fundamental, e...
The conformability is yet a challenge for most soft robotic grippers due to the continuous motion and deformation of these machines under external force. Herein, inspired by the movement mechanism of human fingers, we propose a novel tendon-driven so...
