Seeing and Hearing in the Laozi and Zhuangzi and the Question of Authority and Authenticity

open access: yesReligions, 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 ...

Jacquard: A Large Scale Dataset for Robotic Grasp Detection

open access: yes, 2018
Grasping skill is a major ability that a wide number of real-life applications require for robotisation. State-of-the-art robotic grasping methods perform prediction of object grasp locations based on deep neural networks.

Intersegmental Coordination in the Kinematics of Prehension Movements of Macaques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The most popular model to explain how prehensile movements are organized assumes that they comprise two "components", the reaching component encoding information regarding the object's spatial location and the grasping component encoding information on ...

Lightweight and High-Payload Robotic Gripper Using Shape-Memory-Alloy Actuator and Self-Locking Mechanism

open access: yesIEEE Access
This 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

open access: yesVision, 2019
Ganel, Freud, Chajut, and Algom (2012) demonstrated that maximum grip apertures (MGAs) differ significantly when grasping perceptually identical objects.

Adaptive Grasping of Moving Objects through Tactile Sensing

open access: yesSensors, 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 ...

Expertise affects representation structure and categorical activation of grasp postures in climbing

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Learning Grasp Configuration Through Object-Specific Hand Primitives for Posture Planning of Anthropomorphic Hands

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Grasping the concept of personal property. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The concept of property is integral to personal and societal development, yet understanding of the cognitive basis of ownership is limited. Objects are the most basic form of property, so our physical interactions with owned objects may elucidate nuanced
