This study aims to characterize contact forces between humans and tools during activities of daily living (ADL) to provide information to a personal care robot. The study was conducted on non-impaired subjects to capture various static and dynamic fo...
The edge sharpness of a propeller blade plays a vital role in improving energy transmission efficiency and reducing the power required to propel the vehicle. However, producing finely sharpened edges through casting is challenging due to the risk of ...
Particle-jamming soft robots are characterised by high flexibility in motion and high stiffness when executing a task. Regarding particle jamming of soft robots, the discrete element method (DEM)-finite element method (FEM) coupling was used for mode...
