Customizing mesoscale self-assembly with three-dimensional printing

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
Self-assembly due to capillary forces is a common method for generating two-dimensional mesoscale structures from identical floating particles at the liquid–air interface. Designing building blocks to obtain a desired mesoscopic structure is a scientific

Active Sound Localization in a Symmetric Environment

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
Localization for humanoid robots becomes difficult when events that disrupt robot positioning information occur. This holds especially true in symmetric environments because landmark data may not be sufficient to determine orientation.

Evaluating a Kinematic Data Glove with Pressure Sensors to Automatically Differentiate Free Motion from Product Manipulation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
When studying hand kinematics, it is key to differentiate between free motion and manipulation. This differentiation can be achieved using pressure sensors or through visual analysis in the absence of sensors.

Forced segregation in binary granular mixtures [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2021
Mixing granular particles of di erent sizes is a common way of increasing the packing fraction. Recently, a model predicting the packing fraction, taking into account the inhomogeneity of the mixed small and large particles, has been proposed by S ...

Improvement of hand functions of spinal cord injury patients with electromyography-driven hand exoskeleton: A feasibility study

open access: yesWearable Technologies, 2020
We have developed a one-of-a-kind hand exoskeleton, called Maestro, which can power finger movements of those surviving severe disabilities to complete daily tasks using compliant joints.

A Novel Passive Implantable Differential Mechanism to Restore Individuated Finger Flexion during Grasping following Tendon Transfer Surgery: A Pilot Study

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Tendon transfer surgery is often used to restore hand grasp function following high median-ulnar nerve palsy. This surgery typically reroutes and sutures the tendon of the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) muscle to all four flexor digitorum ...

Bioinspired Adhesive Manufactured by Projection Microstereolithography 3D Printing Technology and Its Application

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, 2023
Many methods are used to manufacture bioinspired adhesive arrays such as photolithography and nanoimprinting methods, which are very high cost and time‐consuming. In this manuscript, projection microstereolithography 3D printing method is firstly adopted

Reach-To-Grasp Movements: A Multimodal Techniques Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between corticospinal activity, kinematics, and electromyography (EMG) associated with the execution of precision and whole-hand grasps (WHGs).

Unscented Bayesian Optimization for Safe Robot Grasping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We address the robot grasp optimization problem of unknown objects considering uncertainty in the input space. Grasping unknown objects can be achieved by using a trial and error exploration strategy.
