ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Jump assessment on a force plate—an approach to quantify subtle lower limb neuromuscular deficits in people with multiple sclerosis

Frontiers in Neurology
Neuromuscular impairments are common in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), often beginning subclinically in early disease stages and contributing to long-term disability. Traditional clinical tools such as the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS),

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

Toward Haptic Communications Over the 5G Tactile Internet [PDF]

IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials, 2018
Touch is currently seen as the modality that will complement audition and vision as a third media stream over the Internet in a variety of future haptic applications which will allow full immersion and that will, in many ways, impact society. Nevertheless, the high requirements of these applications demand networks which allow ultra-reliable and low ...

The space between us: The effect of perceived threat on discomfort distance and perceived pleasantness of interpersonal vicarious touch

Heliyon
The space we keep between ourselves and others allows us either to engage in close shared experiences or to distance ourselves for safety. Focusing primarily on the latter, previous studies have identified a link between interpersonal boundaries and ...

Progressive Multicore RLNC Decoding With Online DAG Scheduling

IEEE Access, 2019
A complete generation of packets coded with Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) can be quickly decoded on a multicore system by scheduling the involved matrix block operations in parallel with an offline (pre-recorded) directed acyclic graph (DAG).
