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 ...

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.

Free and regular mixed-model sequences by a linear program-assisted hybrid algorithm GRASP-LP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A linear program-assisted hybrid algorithm (GRASP-LP) is presented to solve a mixed-model sequencing problem in an assembly line. The issue of the problem is to obtain manufacturing sequences of product models with the minimum work overload, allowing the

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

Quantification of Movement-Related EEG Correlates Associated with Motor Training: A Study on Movement-Related Cortical Potentials and Sensorimotor Rhythms

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
The ability to learn motor tasks is important in both healthy and pathological conditions. Measurement tools commonly used to quantify the neurophysiological changes associated with motor training such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and functional ...

Safe Robotic Grasping: Minimum Impact-Force Grasp Selection

open access: yes, 2017
This paper addresses the problem of selecting from a choice of possible grasps, so that impact forces will be minimised if a collision occurs while the robot is moving the grasped object along a post-grasp trajectory.

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.

Magnetic ghosts and monopoles

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
While the physics of equilibrium systems composed of many particles is well known, the interplay between small-scale physics and global properties is still a mystery for athermal systems.
