Capturing forceful interaction with deformable objects during manipulation benefits applications like virtual reality, telemedicine, and robotics. Replicating full hand-object states with complete geometry is challenging because of the occluded object deformations. Here, we report a visual-tactile recording and...
The design of the ViTaM system is rooted in the idea of capturing fine-grained information during forceful interaction with deformable objects. It records the manipulation process with a proposed high-density, stretchable tactile glove, and a 3D camera, and estimates the hand-object state at the ...
There are a few different but related issues. One issue is explicit vs. implicitdtype=objectarray creation. The github issue for that is#5353(also#6070, I see). Another issue is the possibility to create ndarrays of objects with conformable shapes without automatically peeking into those objects...
which utilises geometric phase correction to compensate for the changing radius of curvature when imaging curved objects. We describe the fabrication process and functionality of the array
The array (30) comprises an elongate carrier (31) having a proximal end (37), a distal end (34), and an inner surface (35) conformable with the inner wall of the implantee's cochlea (12). A plurality of electrodes (36) are supported within the carrier (31) at respective spaced ...
However, there are still enormous challenges to monitor full-field strain in large area with arbitrary shape, especially when the non-contact approaches are not applicable. In this study, we firstly develop an optimization design principle for arbitrary-shape-adaptable sensor array with scalable ...
While the novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims, the invention, both as to organization and content, will be better understood and appreciated, along with other objects and features thereof, from the following detailed description taken in conjunction...
Intelligent robot skin with tactile sensing capability can help robots operate in unknown environments and safely interact with people and objects [2]. In the literature, flexible tactile sensors can be classified into several sensing mechanisms, which are capacitive [3–6], piezoresistive [7–10],...
However, during grasping and lifting tasks in activities of daily life, objects are commonly handled between the finger pads [20] using the intrinsic muscles. Hence, there is a need for more responsive measures that incorporate a functional grasp that involves finger pads. This will provide for ...
Although there are strict safety procedures and protective fences on site, robot injury accidents occur frequently due to erroneous operation or unexpected intrusion of people or objects. In order to avoid such accidents, a tactile feedback system integrating flexible TSA on a robotic arm was ...
