Hand pose estimation approaches commonly rely on shared hand feature maps to regress the 3D locations of all hand joints. Subsequently, they struggle to enhance finger-level features which are invaluable in capturing joint-to-finger associations and ...
Soft robotic hands with integrated sensing capabilities hold great potential for interactive operations. Previous work has typically focused on integrating sensors with fingers. The palm, as a large and crucial contact region providing mechanical sup...
BACKGROUND: Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the important causes of short stature in girls, but there are cases of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in clinical practice. Our aim is to analyze the hand skeletal characteristics of TS patients and estab...
In dexterous robotic hand design, achieving high mobility and adaptability comparable to human hands remains an ongoing challenge. Biomimetic designs mimicking the musculoskeletal structure have shown promise yet face difficulties in preserving key k...
Wearable robotic gloves with grip-assistive functionality offer a promising solution for high-intensity manual tasks. However, achieving a balance among lightweight design, adequate force generation, and dexterous hand movement in wearable robotic gl...
Work-related injuries from overexertion, particularly lifting, are a major concern in occupational safety. Traditional assessment tools, such as the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE), require significant training and practice for deployment. This...
BACKGROUND: Effective rehabilitation of the upper extremity function is vital for individuals recovering from stroke or cervical spinal cord injury, as it can enable them to regain independence in daily tasks. While robotic therapy provides precise a...
A human-shaped robotic hand offers unparalleled versatility and fine motor skills, enabling it to perform a broad spectrum of tasks with precision, power, and robustness. Across the paleontological record and animal kingdom, we see a wide range of al...
