On dexterity and dexterous manipulation
2011 15th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR), 2011This paper presents a high-level discussion of dexterity in robotic systems, focusing particularly on manipulation and hands. While it is generally accepted in the robotics community that dexterity is desirable and that end effectors with in-hand manipulation capabilities should be developed, there has been little, if any, formal description of why ...

Dexterity in cerebellar agenesis
Neuropsychologia, 2007Given the well established role of the cerebellum in motor control, deficient motor performance during life time appears to be common in cerebellar agenesis. However, behavioural data on motor performance in living subjects with cerebellar agenesis are scarce.

Journal of Homosexuality, 1995
In all the recent research on sexuality, one striking analogy that has been largely overlooked is that of sexuality and dexterity. This article is a parallel synthesis of the current knowledge of these two subjects. Although there does not seem to be a causal relationship between these two traits (a particular dextral tendency does not imply any ...

It ends like this. A bearded Dexter Morgan (michael C. Hall) stares stony- eyed and silent into the camera. In the final moments of the last episode, Dexter is working as a lumberjack somewhere northern, drab, and cold. It's a long way from sunny Miami, where for eight seasons on the subscribÂer-based cable network Showtime from 2006 to 2013 a pastel ...

Effects of Exercise on Dexterity
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1995As musicians occasionally report that their dextral facility is improved by recent exercise, it was hypothesized that manual dexterity would be influenced by a task requiring exertion. Before and after exertion on the Harvard Step Test, the experimental group's ( n = 25) manual dexterity was tested on a grooved peg board.

An overview of dexterous manipulation
Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002Presents an overview of research in dexterous manipulation. We first define robotic dexterous manipulation in comparison to traditional robotics and human manipulation. Next, kinematics, contact types and forces are used to formulate the dexterous manipulation problem.

Dexterous Manipulation of Cloth
Computer Graphics Forum, 2016AbstractThis paper introduces a new technique to synthesize dexterous manipulation of cloth. Given a simple description of the desired cloth motion, our algorithm computes appropriate joint torques for physically simulated hands, such that, via contact forces, the result of cloth simulation follows the desired motion.

A Framework for Dexterous Manipulation
2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018In this work, we introduce a framework for performing dexterous manipulations on the humanoid robot Robonaut-2. This framework memorizes how actions change perceptions and can learn a sequence of actions based on demonstrations. With the anthropomorphic Robonaut-2 hand and arm, a variety of manipulation tasks such as grasping novel objects, rotating a ...

This essay focuses on the ‘monstrous’ deformities of Miserrimus Dexter in Wilkie Collins’s The Law and the Lady (1875) and their framing within the Victorian interest in teratology – the study of genital birth defects. Born without legs, Dexter is a taxonomical conundrum, positioned somewhere between subject and object and between madness and knowledge.
