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.

Neural Grasp Distance Fields for Robot Manipulation [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2022
We formulate grasp learning as a neural field and present Neural Grasp Distance Fields (NGDF). Here, the input is a 6D pose of a robot end effector and output is a distance to a continuous manifold of valid grasps for an object.

The magic grasp: Motor expertise in deception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This is an open access article, with the official published version at the link below.Background: Most of us are poor at faking actions. Kinematic studies have shown that when pretending to pick up imagined objects (pantomimed actions), we move and ...

Testing general relativity using higher-order modes of gravitational waves from binary black holes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Recently, strong evidence was found for the presence of higher-order modes in the gravitational wave signals GW190412 and GW190814, which originated from compact binary coalescences with significantly asymmetric component masses.

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.

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 ...

Grasping at Origins [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2008
Chromosome segregation in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus involves propulsion of the replication origin and its capture at one pole of the cell. Bowman et al. (2008) and Ebersbach et al. (2008) now report the discovery of a protein called PopZ that mediates this chromosome capture.

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 ...
