Scalable Fabrication and Actuation of a Human Inspired Hand Through 3D Printed Flexures and Combinatorial Actuation

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kai Christian Junge, Carlo Bosio

The fabrication and control of robot hands with biologically inspired structure remains challenging due to its cost and complexity. In this paper we explore how widely available FDM printers can be used to fabricate complex hand structures by leveraging co ...

Fast 3D Modeling of Prosthetic Robotic Hands Based on a Multi-Layer Deformable Design

Daniel Thalmann

Current research of designing prosthetic robotic hands mainly focuses on improving their functionality by devising new mechanical structures and actuation systems. Most of existing work relies on a single structure/system (e.g., bone-only or tissue-only) a ...

An Empirical and Subjective Model of Upper Extremity Fatigue Under Hypogravity

Claude Nicollier, Volker Gass, Tatiana Maillard

In the context of extra-terrestrial missions, the effects of hypogravity (0 < G < 1) on the human body can reduce the well-being of the crew, cause musculoskeletal problems and affect their ability to perform tasks, especially during long-term missions. To ...

Enhancing our understanding of human fine manipulation skills and advancing robot dexterity in grasping

Kunpeng Yao

From surgery to watchmaking, fine-manipulation skills highly rely on the dexterity afforded by both hands. Coordination is key to human dexterity. Specifically, humans need not only to govern the abundant intrinsic degrees of freedom (DOFs) to allocate con ...

Wearable Robotics for Impaired Upper-Limb Assistance and Rehabilitation: State of the Art and Future Perspectives

Silvestro Micera

Despite more than thirty-five years of research on wearable technologies to assist the upper-limb and a multitude of promising preliminary results, the goal of restoring pre-impairment quality of life of people with physical disabilities has not been fully ...

Closed-Loop Position Control of a Self-Sensing 3-DoF Origami Module With Pneumatic Actuators

Jamie Paik, Mustafa Mete

This letter presents closed-loop position control of a pneumatically actuated modular robotic platform "pneumagami" that can be stacked to enlarge work and design space for wearable applications. The module is a 3 degrees of freedom (DoF) parallel robot wi ...

Foot Control of a Surgical Laparoscopic Gripper via 5DoF Haptic Robotic Platform: Design, Dynamics and Haptic Shared Control

Mohamed Bouri, Aude Billard, Walid Amanhoud, Jacob Hernandez Sanchez

Foot devices have been ubiquitously used in surgery to control surgical equipment. Most common applications are foot switches for electro-surgery, endoscope positioning and tele-robotic consoles. Switches fall short of providing continuous control as requi ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate motor and autonomic functions in people with neurological disorders

Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate neurological functions after spinal cord injury

Salif Axel Komi

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-changing event. People who suffer from it lose their ability to move normally and are subject to life-threatening symptoms. When the insult is not too severe, partial recovery is possible. Otherwise, for severely affected ...

Unbiased interrogation of whole brain circuits in spinal cord injury leading to the design of a clinically relevant therapy to improve locomotion

Newton Cho

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a global problem, and despite decades of research there currently is no cure for this disease. Recently, significant advances in the use of neuroprosthetic rehabilitation to improve locomotor outcomes after SCI have been ma ...
