Wearable Robotic Glove Design Using Surface-Mounted Actuators
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 We propose a novel wearable robotic glove or exo-glove design scalable to the variation of the hand kinematics. While most of the traditional robot hand is driven by rotating the joint directly with a rigid body, our exo-glove deforms a robotic finger's ...

Learning synergies based in-hand manipulation with reward shaping
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, 2020 In-hand manipulation is a fundamental ability for multi-fingered robotic hands that interact with their environments. Owing to the high dimensionality of robotic hands and intermittent contact dynamics, effectively programming a robotic hand for in-hand ...

A Soft Robotic Cover with Dual Thermal Display and Sensing Capabilities [PDF]
, 2020 We propose a new robotic cover prototype that achieves thermal display while also being soft. We focus on the thermal cue because previous human studies have identified it as part of the touch pleasantness.
