A Novel Fabric-Based Versatile and Stiffness-Tunable Soft Gripper Integrating Soft Pneumatic Fingers and Wrist.

Soft robotics
This work presents the design and test of a novel fabric-based versatile and stiffness-tunable soft gripper integrating soft pneumatic fingers and wrist. The morphology is designed into a compact tuning fork shape (130 × 110 × 260 mm, 389 g) with two...

Application of chaos in a recurrent neural network to control in ill-posed problems: a novel autonomous robot arm.

Biological cybernetics
Inspired by a viewpoint that complex/chaotic dynamics would play an important role in biological systems including the brain, chaotic dynamics introduced in a recurrent neural network was applied to robot control in ill-posed situations. By computer ...

PCA and deep learning based myoelectric grasping control of a prosthetic hand.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: For the functional control of prosthetic hand, it is insufficient to obtain only the motion pattern information. As far as practicality is concerned, the control of the prosthetic hand force is indispensable. The application value of pros...

Improving internal model strength and performance of prosthetic hands using augmented feedback.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The loss of an arm presents a substantial challenge for upper limb amputees when performing activities of daily living. Myoelectric prosthetic devices partially replace lost hand functions; however, lack of sensory feedback and strong und...

A Vision-Driven Collaborative Robotic Grasping System Tele-Operated by Surface Electromyography.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a system that combines computer vision and surface electromyography techniques to perform grasping tasks with a robotic hand. In order to achieve a reliable grasping action, the vision-driven system is used to compute pre-grasping...

Assisting hand function after spinal cord injury with a fabric-based soft robotic glove.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury is a devastating condition that can dramatically impact hand motor function. Passive and active assistive devices are becoming more commonly used to enhance lost hand strength and dexterity. Soft robotics is an emerging...

The effect of a wearable soft-robotic glove on motor function and functional performance of older adults.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Reduced grip strength, resulting in difficulties in performing daily activities, is a common problem in the population of older adults. Newly developed soft-robotic devices have the potential to support older adults with reduced grip in daily activit...

Optimal Design of a Soft Robotic Gripper for Grasping Unknown Objects.

Soft robotics
This study presents the design of an underactuated, two-finger, motor-driven compliant gripper for grasping size-varied unknown objects. The gripper module consists of one main frame structure and two identical compliant fingers. The compliant finger...

Enhancing Perception with Tactile Object Recognition in Adaptive Grippers for Human-Robot Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The use of tactile perception can help first response robotic teams in disaster scenarios, where visibility conditions are often reduced due to the presence of dust, mud, or smoke, distinguishing human limbs from other objects with similar shapes. He...

The identification of high potential archers based on fitness and motor ability variables: A Support Vector Machine approach.

Human movement science
Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been shown to be an effective learning algorithm for classification and prediction. However, the application of SVM for prediction and classification in specific sport has rarely been used to quantify/discriminate low...
