Anthropomimetic Soft Robotic Forearm with Independently Articulated Carpal Bones Enabling Human-Like Adaptive Stiffness Modulability
Yoshinobu Obata, Yinlai Jiang, Hiroshi Yokoi +1
The human wrist exhibits adaptive stiffness modulability: joint stiffness anisotropy can be actively regulated through muscle co-contraction. This functionality is essential for st…

A Mixed-Stiffness Anthropomimetic Fingertip Broadens the Operating Range for Coin Grasping
Kaigen Go, Yinlai Jiang, Hiroshi Yokoi +1
Robotic grasping of thin, flat objects such as coins on hard surfaces remains challenging because conventional methods require reorienting the object, accessing its underside, or a…

Landing-Induced Viscoelastic Changes in an Anthropomimetic Foot Joint Structure are Modulated by Foot Structure and Posture
Satoru Hashimoto, Yinlai Jiang, Hiroshi Yokoi +1
How skeletal architecture and landing posture shape the immediate post-impact viscoelastic response of the foot remains incompletely understood, in part because cadaveric specimens…
