This paper reports an innovative and instant method for tumor detection. We delineate the tactile signal matrixes of tumor tissue with varying stiffness utilizing self-learning high-density flexible tactile sensor array, and depict the morphological ...
Soft robotic hands with integrated sensing capabilities hold great potential for interactive operations. Previous work has typically focused on integrating sensors with fingers. The palm, as a large and crucial contact region providing mechanical sup...
Using social robots is a promising approach for supporting senior citizens in the context of super-aging societies. The essential design factors for achieving socially acceptable robots include effective emotional expressions and cuteness. Past studi...
Work-related injuries from overexertion, particularly lifting, are a major concern in occupational safety. Traditional assessment tools, such as the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE), require significant training and practice for deployment. This...
Dexterous manipulation remains an aspirational goal for autonomous robotic systems, particularly when learning to lift and rotate objects against gravity with intermittent finger contacts. We use model-free reinforcement learning to compare the effec...
Skin-like planar tactile sensors have achieved adaptive gripping, in-hand manipulation, and human-machine interaction but remain limited in tasks requiring active environmental interaction and robustness against large mechanical perturbations. Inspir...
