Seeing and Hearing in the Laozi and Zhuangzi and the Question of Authority and Authenticity
Religions, 2019 The present paper investigates the significance of visual and auditory metaphors as used in the main Daoist classics the Laozi 老子 and Zhuangzi 莊子. While both works disparage the role of the senses, they nonetheless employ a large number of metaphors ...

Contribution of the posterior parietal cortex in reaching, grasping, and using objects and tools
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Neuropsychological and neuroimaging data suggest a differential contribution of posterior parietal regions during the different components of a transitive gesture.

IEEE AccessThis study proposes a novel lightweight robotic gripper with a high-payload capacity using shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuators and a self-locking mechanism. The multi-joint fingers of the developed gripper are driven by flexible SMA actuators.

Grasping Discriminates between Object Sizes Less Not More Accurately than the Perceptual System
Vision, 2019 Ganel, Freud, Chajut, and Algom (2012) demonstrated that maximum grip apertures (MGAs) differ significantly when grasping perceptually identical objects.

Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 2013 The century of complexity has come. The face of science has changed. Surprisingly, when we start asking about the essence of these changes and then critically analyse the answers, the result are mostly discouraging. Most of the answers are related to the properties that have been in the focus of scientific research already for more than a century (like

Adaptive Grasping of Moving Objects through Tactile Sensing
Sensors, 2021 A robot’s ability to grasp moving objects depends on the availability of real-time sensor data in both the far-field and near-field of the gripper. This research investigates the potential contribution of tactile sensing to a task of grasping an object ...

CoRR, 2022 Transparent objects are common in day-to-day life and hence find many applications that require robot grasping. Many solutions toward object grasping exist for non-transparent objects. However, due to the unique visual properties of transparent objects, standard 3D sensors produce noisy or distorted measurements.

Expertise affects representation structure and categorical activation of grasp postures in climbing
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 In indoor rock climbing, the perception of object properties and the adequate execution of grasping actions highly determine climbers’ performance. In two consecutive experiments, effects of climbing expertise on the cognitive activation of grasping ...

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021 The proposal of postural synergy theory has provided a new approach to solve the problem of controlling anthropomorphic hands with multiple degrees of freedom. However, generating the grasp configuration for new tasks in this context remains challenging.

Atoms, 2022 Relativistic atomic and molecular structure calculations start from very different premises to quantum electrodynamics (QED). QED predicts radiative corrections that can nly be approximated crudely in today's atomic structure programs. This paper describes rigorous simple algorithms for including accurate vacuum polarization and self-energy corrections
