Flexible Electronic Skin for Monitoring of Grasping State During Robotic Manipulation.

Soft robotics
Electronic skin for robotic tactile sensing has been studied extensively over the past years, yet practical applications of electronic skin for the grasping state monitoring during robotic manipulation are still limited. In this study, we present the...

Minimize Tracking Occlusion in Collaborative Pick-and-Place Tasks: An Analytical Approach for Non-Wrist-Partitioned Manipulators.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Several industrial pick-and-place applications, such as collaborative assembly lines, rely on visual tracking of the parts. Recurrent occlusions are caused by the manipulator motion decrease line productivity and can provoke failures. This work provi...

Comparison of leg dynamic models for quadrupedal robots with compliant backbone.

Scientific reports
Many quadrupeds are capable of power efficient gaits, especially trot and gallop, thanks to their flexible trunk. The oscillations of the system that includes the backbone, the tendons and musculature, store and release elastic energy, helping a smoo...

Touchless interactive teaching of soft robots through flexible bimodal sensory interfaces.

Nature communications
In this paper, we propose a multimodal flexible sensory interface for interactively teaching soft robots to perform skilled locomotion using bare human hands. First, we develop a flexible bimodal smart skin (FBSS) based on triboelectric nanogenerator...

Feasibility and Potential Effects of Robot-Assisted Passive Range of Motion Training in Combination with Conventional Rehabilitation on Hand Function in Patients with Chronic Stroke.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of exoskeleton robot-assisted passive range of motion for induction training in combination with conventional hand rehabilitation in patients with chronic stroke.

Comparative Effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Training Versus Enhanced Upper Extremity Therapy on Upper and Lower Extremity for Stroke Survivors: A Multicentre Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation therapy plays a central role in upper extremity recovery of stroke. However, the efficacy of robotic training on the upper extremity is not yet well defined, and little attention has been devoted to its ...

Targeting the Future: Developing a Training Curriculum for Robotic Assisted Neurosurgery.

World neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Technological advances have significantly fostered the use of robotics in neurosurgery. Due to their novelty, there is a need to develop training methods within neurosurgical residency programs that provide trainees the skills to utilize t...

A Multifunctional Light-Driven Swimming Soft Robot for Various Application Scenarios.

International journal of molecular sciences
The locomotor behavior of creatures in nature can bring a lot of inspiration for the fabrication of soft actuators. In this paper, we fabricated a bionic light-driven swimming soft robot that can perform grasping of tiny objects and achieve the task ...

Self-reconfigurable robot vision pipeline for safer adaptation to varying pavements width and surface conditions.

Scientific reports
This work presents the vision pipeline for our in-house developed autonomous reconfigurable pavement sweeping robot named Panthera. As the goal of Panthera is to be an autonomous self-reconfigurable robot, it has to understand the type of pavement it...

Robotic simulation: validation and qualitative assessment of a general surgery resident training curriculum.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The da Vinci skills simulation curriculum has been validated in the literature. The updated simulator, SimNow, features restructured exercises that have not been formally validated. The purpose of this study is to validate the SimNow resi...
