Skin‐Conformal Myography for Real‐Time Hand Tracking Using a Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensor Array

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
A skin‐conformal wearable device based on laser‐induced graphene is developed for continuous strain measurement across the circumference of the forearm for gesture recognition and hand‐tracking applications. Post material optimization, the strain sensor array is integrated with a wearable wireless readout circuit for real‐time control of a robotic arm,

Characteristics, Management, and Utilization of Muscles in Musculoskeletal Humanoids: Empirical Study on Kengoro and Musashi

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Musculoskeletal humanoids exhibit rich biomechanical properties that remain insufficiently unified in prior discussions. This article systematically categorizes muscle characteristics into five properties: redundancy, independency, anisotropy, variable moment arm, and nonlinear elasticity, and analyzes their combined effects on control.

Model-based control for exoskeletons with series elastic actuators evaluated on sit-to-stand movements

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019
Background Currently, control of exoskeletons in rehabilitation focuses on imposing desired trajectories to promote relearning of motions. Furthermore, assistance is often provided by imposing these desired trajectories using impedance controllers ...

Prop-Based Haptic Interaction with Co-location and Immersion: an Automotive Application [PDF]

, 2005
Most research on 3D user interfaces aims at providing only a single sensory modality. One challenge is to integrate several sensory modalities into a seamless system while preserving each modality's immersion and performance factors.

Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.
