Toward a Physiological Understanding of Human Dexterity

, 2001
Dexterity, defined as the skillful manipulation of the hands, is now amenable to physiological investigation. Two topics are discussed here: grasping (i.e., hand-object coupling) and bimanual coordination.

Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

Dexterous Grasp Transformer

2024 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR)
In this work, we propose a novel discriminative framework for dexterous grasp generation, named Dexterous Grasp TRansformer (DGTR), capable of predicting a diverse set of feasible grasp poses by processing the object point cloud with only one forward pass.

Robotic Assistants in the Operating Room: A Systematic Review of Vision‐Based Systems for Nonoperative Tasks

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review brings together 20 publications describing 11 robotic system families developed for instrument handling, sterile‐package opening, supply delivery, and operating room logistics. Perception is becoming more capable through deep learning and language‐guided control, but autonomy remains limited, evidence is largely laboratory‐based, and no ...

Force variability during dexterous manipulation in individuals with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2015
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting about 1-2% of the population over the age of 65. Individuals with PD experience gradual deterioration of dexterous manipulation for activities of daily living, however, current

Abstract Representation of Movement Parameters in Basal Ganglia Output

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The basal ganglia output provides a scalable velocity/position signal across behavioral contexts, supporting the idea that these variables are represented in the brain as abstract entities rather than as fixed changes in joint angles or specific sets of body effectors.

Sustainable Hydrogel‐Forming Microneedle‐Reservoir Patches for Transdermal Delivery of Hydrophilic Macromolecules: Biopolymers, Green Manufacturing and Translation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐forming microneedle (HFMN)‐reservoir patches provide a modular route for controlled transdermal delivery of hydrophilic biomacromolecules. The platform integrates skin‐barrier penetration, sustainable biopolymers, scalable green manufacturing, hydration‐driven transport, model‐cargo validation, and translational quality requirements.
