In order to develop a gripping system or control strategy that improves scientific sampling procedures, knowledge of the process and the consequent definition of requirements is fundamental. Nevertheless, factors influencing sampling procedures have ...
In smart logistics, traditional manual sorting and sorting systems based on rigid manipulators limit the warehousing development and damage the goods. Here, a nondestructive sorting method based on bionic soft fingers is proposed. This method is impl...
Stroke is a common reason for motor disability and is often associated with spasticity and poor motor function of the upper limbs involved. Spasticity management is important to accelerate motor recovery. The objective of this study was to investiga...
This paper proposes a cylindrical grip type of tactile device that is effectively integrated to a surgical robot console so that a surgeon can easily touch and feel the same stiffness as the operating organs. This is possible since the yield stress (...
The collection of delicate deep-sea specimens of biological interest with remotely operated vehicle (ROV) industrial grippers and tools is a long and expensive procedure. Industrial grippers were originally designed for heavy manipulation tasks, whil...
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...
The growing need for soft robots with secure, adaptive, and autonomous functioning in unforeseen environments favors designs with multiple functionalities. This has driven soft robotic grippers to be explored to integrate perceptual capability for au...
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 ...
