Trends and challenges in robot manipulation.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Dexterous manipulation is one of the primary goals in robotics. Robots with this capability could sort and package objects, chop vegetables, and fold clothes. As robots come to work side by side with humans, they must also become human-aware. Over th...

A Control Architecture for Grasp Strength Regulation in Myocontrolled Robotic Hands Using Vibrotactile Feedback: Preliminary Results.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Nowadays, electric-powered hand prostheses do not provide adequate sensory instrumentation and artificial feedback to allow users voluntarily and finely modulate the grasp strength applied to the objects. In this work, the design of a control archite...

Effect of Visual Information on Dominant and Non-dominant Hands During Bimanual Drawing with a Robotic Platform.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In a stable bimanual trajectory tracing task with interlimb spatial and temporal synchrony, blocking the visual information from one hand may alter the performance of either hand. In this paper, we investigate the effect of visual information on moto...

Method for Muscle Tone Monitoring During Robot-Assisted Therapy of Hand Function: A Proof of Concept.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted rehabilitation of hand function is becoming an established approach to complement conventional therapy after stroke, particularly in view of its possible unsupervised use to promote an increase in therapy dose. Given their intensive th...

Multi-Compliance Printing Techniques for the Fabrication of Customisable Hand Exoskeletons.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
To be successful, hand exoskeletons require customisable low encumbrance design with multi-compliant materials. This paper details the modification and testing of a fused filament fabrication printer to produce three categories of multi-compliant mat...

Soft Robotic Bilateral Hand Rehabilitation System for Fine Motor Learning.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents the development of a pneumatically actuated soft robotic based bilateral therapy system for hand rehabilitation in post-stroke patients. The goal is to use a healthy hand to guide the motion of the paretic hand using a sensorized ...

A Robot with an Augmented-Reality Display for Functional Capacity Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Injured Workers.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Occupational rehabilitation is an integral part of the recovery process for workers who have sustained injuries at the workplace. It often requires the injured worker to engage in functional tasks that simulate the workplace environment to help regai...

Investigation of Fatigue Using Different EMG Features.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitative exercise for people suffering from upper limb impairments has the potential to improve their neuro-plasticity due to repetitive training. Our study investigates the usefulness of Electroencephalogram and Electromyogram (EMG) signals fo...

Design of a 3D Printed Soft Robotic Hand for Stroke Rehabilitation and Daily Activities Assistance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present the new personalized 3D printed soft robotic hand for providing rehabilitation training and daily activities assistance to stroke survivors. The Soft-Elastic Composite Actuator (SECA) on the robotic hand is direct 3D printed...

Quantifying upper extremity performance with and without assistance of a soft-robotic glove in elderly patients: A kinematic analysis.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To explore the direct influence of a soft-robotic glove on movement duration and movement execution in elderly people with decreased hand function during a reach-and-grasp task.
