Development of a Two-Finger Haptic Robotic Hand with Novel Stiffness Detection and Impedance Control.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Haptic hands and grippers, designed to enable skillful object manipulation, are pivotal for high-precision interaction with environments. These technologies are particularly vital in fields such as minimally invasive surgery, where they enhance surgi...

Industrially Scalable Textile Sensing Interfaces for Extended Artificial Tactile and Human Motion Monitoring without Compromising Comfort.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Smart wearables with the capability for continuous monitoring, perceiving, and understanding human tactile and motion signals, while ensuring comfort, are highly sought after for intelligent healthcare and smart life systems. However, concurrently ac...

Propensity to trust shapes perceptions of comforting touch between trustworthy human and robot partners.

Scientific reports
Touching a friend to comfort or be comforted is a common prosocial behaviour, firmly based in mutual trust. Emphasising the interactive nature of trust and touch, we suggest that vulnerability, reciprocity and individual differences shape trust and p...

Bimodal Intelligent Electronic Skin Based on Proximity and Tactile Interaction for Pressure and Configuration Perception.

ACS sensors
The flexible bimodal e-skin exhibits significant promise for integration into the next iteration of human-computer interactions, owing to the integration of tactile and proximity perception. However, those challenges, such as low tactile sensitivity,...

Skin-Inspired Multi-Modal Mechanoreceptors for Dynamic Haptic Exploration.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Active sensing is a fundamental aspect of human and animal interactions with the environment, providing essential information about the hardness, texture, and tackiness of objects. This ability stems from the presence of diverse mechanoreceptors in t...

From CySkin to ProxySKIN: Design, Implementation and Testing of a Multi-Modal Robotic Skin for Human-Robot Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The Industry 5.0 paradigm has a human-centered vision of the industrial scenario and foresees a close collaboration between humans and robots. Industrial manufacturing environments must be easily adaptable to different task requirements, possibly tak...

User confidence and electrodermal activity during haptic exploration for perceptual comparisons using a robotic system.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Children with physical impairments may have trouble effectively performing the hand movements used in haptic exploration and may miss information about object properties. Assistive robotic systems with haptic feedback may enable children with physica...

Memristor-Based Bionic Tactile Devices: Opening the Door for Next-Generation Artificial Intelligence.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Bioinspired tactile devices can effectively mimic and reproduce the functions of the human tactile system, presenting significant potential in the field of next-generation wearable electronics. In particular, memristor-based bionic tactile devices ha...

Multi-silicone bilateral soft physical twin as an alternative to traditional user interfaces for remote palpation: a comparative study.

Scientific reports
Teleoperated medical technologies are a fundamental part of the healthcare system. From telemedicine to remote surgery, they allow remote diagnosis and treatment. However, the absence of any interface able to effectively reproduce the sense of touch ...

A Survey on Force Sensing Techniques in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is commonly used in some robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) systems. However, many RAS lack the strength and tactile sensation of surgical tools. Therefore, researchers have developed various force sensing techniques in r...
