Agonist-Antagonist Neural Coordination without Mechanical Coupling after Targeted Muscle Reinnervation
Laura Ferrante, Anna Boesendorfer, Benedikt Baumgartner +4
Following limb amputation and targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), nerves that originally innervated agonist and antagonist muscles are rerouted into one or more residual target mu…
Introducing V-Soft Pro: a Modular Platform for a Transhumeral Prosthesis with Controllable Stiffness
Giuseppe Milazzo, Giorgio Grioli, Antonio Bicchi +1
Current upper limb prostheses aim to enhance user independence in daily activities by incorporating basic motor functions. However, they fall short of replicating the natural movem…
Tactile SoftHand-A: 3D-Printed, Tactile, Highly-underactuated, Anthropomorphic Robot Hand with an Antagonistic Tendon Mechanism
Haoran Li, Christopher J. Ford, Chenghua Lu +5
A challenging and important problem for tendon-driven multi-fingered robotic hands is to ensure grasping adaptivity while minimizing the number of actuators needed to provide human…
Shear-based Grasp Control for Multi-fingered Underactuated Tactile Robotic Hands
Christopher J. Ford, Haoran Li, Manuel G. Catalano +3
This paper presents a shear-based control scheme for grasping and manipulating delicate objects with a Pisa/IIT anthropomorphic SoftHand equipped with soft biomimetic tactile senso…
Soft Adaptive Feet for Legged Robots: An Open-Source Model for Locomotion Simulation
Matteo Crotti, Luca Rossini, Balint K. Hodossy +4
In recent years, artificial feet based on soft robotics and under-actuation principles emerged to improve mobility on challenging terrains. This paper presents the application of t…
