A sEMG Proportional Control for the Gripper of Patient Side Manipulator in da Vinci Surgical System.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
There is a large community of people with hand disabilities, and these disabilities can be a barrier to those looking to retain or pursue surgical careers. With the development of surgical robotics technologies, it may be possible to develop user int...

EMG Data Augmentation for Grasp Classification Using Generative Adversarial Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Electromyography (EMG) has been used as an interface for the control of robotic hands for decades but with the improvement of embedded electronics and decoding algorithms, many applications are now envisaged by companies. Deep learning has shown the ...

A Soft Robotic Gripper Based on Bioinspired Fingers.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In the past, partly due to modeling complexities and technical constraints, fingers of soft grippers are rarely driven by high number of actuators, which leads to lack of dexterity. Here we propose a soft robotic gripper with modular anthropomorphic ...

A brain-computer interface that evokes tactile sensations improves robotic arm control.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because information about grasping objects is best relayed through tactile feedback...

Manipulation for self-Identification, and self-Identification for better manipulation.

Science robotics
The process of modeling a series of hand-object parameters is crucial for precise and controllable robotic in-hand manipulation because it enables the mapping from the hand's actuation input to the object's motion to be obtained. Without assuming tha...

Grasping with kirigami shells.

Science robotics
The ability to grab, hold, and manipulate objects is a vital and fundamental operation in biological and engineering systems. Here, we present a soft gripper using a simple material system that enables precise and rapid grasping, and can be miniaturi...

Complex manipulation with a simple robotic hand through contact breaking and caging.

Science robotics
Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In this work, we leveraged a potential energy-based whole-hand manipulation model, which does n...

In the soft grip of nature.

Science robotics
Biological grippers can inspire the development of a new class of versatile soft grippers in agrorobotics and beyond.

Towards Sonomyography-Based Real-Time Control of Powered Prosthesis Grasp Synergies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Sonomyography (ultrasound imaging) offers a way of classifying complex muscle activity and configuration, with higher SNR and lower hardware requirements than sEMG, using various supervised learning algorithms. The physiological image obtained from a...

Actuation of untethered pneumatic artificial muscles and soft robots using magnetically induced liquid-to-gas phase transitions.

Science robotics
Pneumatic artificial muscles have been widely used in industry because of their simple and relatively high-performance design. The emerging field of soft robotics has also been using pneumatic actuation mechanisms since its formation. However, these ...
