SpikeATac: A Multimodal Tactile Finger with Taxelized Dynamic Sensing for Dexterous Manipulation
Eric T. Chang, Peter Ballentine, Zhanpeng He +8
In this work, we introduce SpikeATac, a multimodal tactile finger combining a taxelized and highly sensitive dynamic response (PVDF) with a static transduction method (capacitive)…
Reciprocal Learning of Intent Inferral with Augmented Visual Feedback for Stroke
Jingxi Xu, Ava Chen, Lauren Winterbottom +5
Intent inferral, the process by which a robotic device predicts a user's intent from biosignals, offers an effective and intuitive way to control wearable robots. Classical intent…
Grasp Force Assistance via Throttle-based Wrist Angle Control on a Robotic Hand Orthosis for C6-C7 Spinal Cord Injury
Joaquin Palacios, Alexandra Deli-Ivanov, Ava Chen +4
Individuals with hand paralysis resulting from C6-C7 spinal cord injuries frequently rely on tenodesis for grasping. However, tenodesis generates limited grasping force and demands…
Towards Tenodesis-Modulated Control of an Assistive Hand Exoskeleton for SCI
Joaquin Palacios, Alexandra Deli-Ivanov, Ava Chen +4
Restoration of hand function is one of the highest priorities for SCI populations. In this work, we present a prototype of a robotic assistive orthosis capable of implementing teno…
