Fluidic Fabric Muscle Sheets for Wearable and Soft Robotics.

Soft robotics
Conformable robotic systems are attractive for applications in which they may actuate structures with large surface areas, provide forces through wearable garments, or enable autonomous robotic systems. We present a new family of soft actuators that ...

An Embedded, Multi-Modal Sensor System for Scalable Robotic and Prosthetic Hand Fingers.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Grasping and manipulation with anthropomorphic robotic and prosthetic hands presents a scientific challenge regarding mechanical design, sensor system, and control. Apart from the mechanical design of such hands, embedding sensors needed for closed-l...

A versatile robotic platform for the design of natural, three-dimensional reaching and grasping tasks in monkeys.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Translational studies on motor control and neurological disorders require detailed monitoring of sensorimotor components of natural limb movements in relevant animal models. However, available experimental tools do not provide a sufficient...

Functional MRI in Conjunction with a Novel MRI-compatible Hand-induced Robotic Device to Evaluate Rehabilitation of Individuals Recovering from Hand Grip Deficits.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging technique that images brain activation in vivo, using endogenous deoxyhemoglobin as an endogenous contrast agent to detect changes in blood-level-dependent oxyg...

Hybrid Jamming for Bioinspired Soft Robotic Fingers.

Soft robotics
This article describes a novel design of bioinspired soft robotic fingers based upon hybrid jamming principle-integrated layer jamming and particle jamming. The finger combines a fiber-reinforced soft pneumatic actuator with a hybrid jamming substrat...

Shape Memory Alloy-Based Soft Finger with Changeable Bending Length Using Targeted Variable Stiffness.

Soft robotics
This work described a bioinspired soft robotic finger with variable bending length to conform objects with different sizes by means of selectively varying the structural stiffness of its segments. The basic design is a shape memory alloy-based soft a...

Analysis of nonstandardized stress echocardiography sequences using multiview dimensionality reduction.

Medical image analysis
Alternative stress echocardiography protocols such as handgrip exercise are potentially more favorable towards large-scale screening scenarios than those currently adopted in clinical practice. However, these are still underexplored because the maxim...

Bioinspired Three-Dimensional-Printed Helical Soft Pneumatic Actuators and Their Characterization.

Soft robotics
Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are widely studied and applied in the field of soft robotics. To expand their applications, the SPAs should be purpose-built to generate application-specific complex motions with multiple degrees of freedom. This artic...

Myoelectric Control of a Soft Hand Exoskeleton Using Kinematic Synergies.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
Soft hand exoskeletons offer a lightweight, low-profile alternative to rigid rehabilitative robotic systems, enabling their use to restore activities of daily living (ADL) in those with hand paresis due to stroke or other conditions. The hand exoskel...

A soft continuum robot, with a large variable-stiffness range, based on jamming.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the physiological structure of the hand capable of realizing the continuous change in finger stiffness when grasping objects of different masses, a self-locking soft continuum robot with a large variable-stiffness range based on particle ...
