Anthropomorphic finger for grasping applications: 3D printed endoskeleton in a soft skin [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Adv Manuf Technol 91, 2607-2620 (2017), 2023
Application of soft and compliant joints in grasping mechanisms received an increasing attention during recent years. This article suggests the design and development of a novel bio-inspired compliant finger which is composed of a 3D printed rigid endoskeleton covered by a soft matter.

Influence of Force-Length Relationship and Task-Specific Constraints on Finger Force-Generating Capacities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Grip strength loss in extended and flexed wrist postures has been explained by reduced force-generating capacities of extrinsic finger flexor resulting from non-optimal length, owing to the force-length relationship. Recent works suggested that other muscles, especially wrist extensors, participate in this grip strength loss.

Development and Evaluation of an Adaptive Multi-DOF Finger with Mechanical-Sensor Integrated for Prosthetic Hand

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
To realize the adaptive grasping of objects with diverse shapes and to capture the joint angles of the finger, a multi degree of freedom (DOF) adaptive finger for prosthetic hand is proposed in this paper. The fingers are designed with three joints.

Biomechanical Analysis of the Effect of Finger Joint Configuration on Hand Grasping Performance: Rigid vs Flexible

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Human finger joints are conventionally simplified as rigid joints in robotic hand design and biomechanical hand modelling, due to their anatomic and morphologic complexity. However, our understanding of the effect of the finger joint configuration on the

IMU sensor-based data glove for finger joint measurement

open access: yes, 2020
The methods used to quantify finger range of motion significantly influence how hand disability is reported. To date, the accuracy of sensors being utilized in data gloves from the literature has been ascertained yet need further analysis.

Bio-Inspired Tendon-Driven Finger Design With Isomorphic Ligamentous Joint

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
This paper suggests a novel type of bio-inspired finger design in that the joints that compose the finger mimic the features of human finger joints. They have isomorphic structures but different movements, further, there is no friction between bones in ...

Study on the Effect of Finger Joints on the Stiffness of Fibre-Managed E. nitens Sawn Boards

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Fibre-managed E. nitens has the potential to be used as a feedstock for engineered wood products. This resource, however, has a number of strength-reducing features that need to be removed, and the board needs to be re-joint to be useful in greater ...

Interactive Hand Pose Estimation: Boosting accuracy in localizing extended finger joints [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Imaging, Visual Information Processing and Communication IX (2018), pp. 251-1-251-6(6), 2018
Accurate 3D hand pose estimation plays an important role in Human Machine Interaction (HMI). In the reality of HMI, joints in fingers stretching out, especially corresponding fingertips, are much more important than other joints. We propose a novel method to refine stretching-out finger joint locations after obtaining rough hand pose estimation.

Dorsal Finger Fold Recognition by Convolutional Neural Networks for the Detection and Monitoring of Joint Swelling in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesDigital Biomarkers, 2022
Digital biomarkers such as wearables are of increasing interest in monitoring rheumatic diseases, but they usually lack disease specificity. In this study, we apply convolutional neural networks (CNN) to real-world hand photographs in order to ...
