Small-sized handshake robot system for generation of handshake behavior with active approach to human

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2019
Humans shake hands as a sign of greeting, when they first meet one another, to express a feeling of rapport. For interactions involving a human and a robot, if the robot generates a handshake behavior that is emotionally acceptable to humans, it will ...

Quantitative analysis of bone reactions to relative motions at implant-bone interfaces [PDF]

, 1993
Connective soft tissues at the interface between implants and bone, such as in human joint replacements, can endanger the stability of the implant fixation. The potential of an implant to generate interface bone resorption and form soft tissue depends on
