—This paper proposes the use of Electric Field Sensors to implement “pretouch” for robotic grasping. Weakly electric fish use this perceptual channel, but it has not received...
This paper describes a novel approach to detecting orientation and identity of robots using a global vision system. Instead of additional markers, the original shape of the robot ...
— Highly underactuated and passively adaptive robotic hands have shown great promise for robust performance in unstructured settings. In order to fully realize this potential, ef...
In this paper we describe a system that combines human input and automatic grasp planning for controlling an artificial hand, with applications in the area of hand neuroprosthetic...
— In this paper, we discuss the manipulation of an object under hybrid active/passive closure. We show the orthogonality between the directions of active and passive force closur...
