BACKGROUND: cervical spinal cord injury leads to loss of upper limb functionality, which causes a decrease in autonomy to perform activities of daily living. The use of robotic technologies in rehabilitation could contribute to improving upper limb f...
Robot grippers that lack physical compliance have a difficult time dealing with uncertainty, such as fragile objects that may not have well-defined shapes. Existing soft robotic grippers require a large empty workspace for their actuated fingers to c...
The development of future technologies can be highly influenced by our deeper understanding of the principles that underlie living organisms. The Living Machines conference aims at presenting (among others) the interdisciplinary work of behaving syst...
Tactile sensors for robotic applications enhance the performance of robotic end-effectors as they ca n provide tactile information to operate various tasks. In particular, tactile sensors can measure multi-axial force and detect slip can aid the end-...
This paper presents a novel bistable gripper inspired by the closure motion found in the jaw of a hummingbird. With a bistable characteristic, the robotic gripper can grasp objects rapidly without applying continuous external force. The bistable grip...

Functional rehabilitation of the hand is a complex and difficult process involving a large number of degrees of freedom (DOFs). Soft wearable hand-rehabilitation robots have assisted hand movements with a compact structural design, but effective reha...
Robotic grippers, inspired by human hands, show an extraordinary ability to manipulate objects of various shapes, sizes, or materials. However, capturing objects with varying kinetic energy remains challenging, regardless of the classical rigid-bodie...
We have developed a microscale hydraulic soft gripper and demonstrated the handling of an insect without damage. This gripper is built on Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with the soft material casting technique to form three finger-like columns, which ar...
. The limited functionality of hand prostheses remains one of the main reasons behind the lack of its wide adoption by amputees. Indeed, while commercial prostheses can perform a reasonable number of grasps, they are often inadequate for manipulating...
