A Robotic Hand with Soft Transmission Systems for Automated Operations of Computer Mouse

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft robotic hand designed to automate computer mouse operations. Inspired by the water vascular system, the bellows‐enclosed soft transmission system is proposed. This system can handle typical office and gaming tasks using vision and speech commands, holding the potential for applications in office scenes and gaming hardware

4D Printing of Polyethylene Glycol‐Grafted Carbon Nanotube‐Reinforced Polyvinyl Chloride–Polycaprolactone Composites for Enhanced Shape Recovery and Thermomechanical Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces polyethylene glycol‐functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to enhance dispersion, interfacial bonding, and 4D printability in polyvinyl chloride‐PCL nanocomposites. The optimized 4D composite (0.5 wt% CNT) achieves a 25% increase in tensile strength, 95.78% shape fixity, and 5‐s recovery time.

Real-time Robot-assisted Ergonomics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
This paper describes a novel approach in human robot interaction driven by ergonomics. With a clear focus on optimising ergonomics, the approach proposed here continuously observes a human user's posture and by invoking appropriate cooperative robot movements, the user's posture is, whenever required, brought back to an ergonomic optimum.
