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

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

Grasping Discriminates between Object Sizes Less Not More Accurately than the Perceptual System
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
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
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 ...

Grasping the concept of personal property. [PDF]
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
