Improving Robotic Manipulation Without Sacrificing Grasping Efficiency: A Multi-Modal, Adaptive Gripper With Reconfigurable Finger Bases

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
This work proposes a framework that improves the dexterous manipulation capabilities of two fingered grippers by: i) optimizing the finger link dimensions and the interfinger distance for a given object and ii) analyzing the effect of finger symmetry and

Planning for Dexterous Ungrasping: Secure Ungrasping Through Dexterous Manipulation [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2022
This paper presents a robotic manipulation technique for dexterous ungrasping. It refers to the capability of securely transferring a grasped object from the gripper to the robot's environment, i.e. the inverse of grasping or picking, through dexterous manipulation.

On lightmyography based muscle-machine interfaces for the efficient decoding of human gestures and forces

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Conventional muscle-machine interfaces like Electromyography (EMG), have significant drawbacks, such as crosstalk, a non-linear relationship between the signal and the corresponding motion, and increased signal processing requirements.
