In this paper one anthropomorphic modular reconfigurable gripper for robots are described , including a prototype. For the first time the stages of synthesis, analysis design and functional simulation are presented. The structural synthesis of the anthropomorphic grippers for robots can be made regarding the following main criteria: the number of fingers, the number of phalanxes, the relative d...

Immersive technology, refers to various novel ways of creating and interacting with applications experiences, e.g., virtual reality (VR), has been used in simulations training where preparing real/physical settings is not ideal or possible, the use contents otherwise beneficial. Realizing realistic interactions content crucial for a quality experience effectiveness such simulation training. In ...

The sense of body ownership, knowledge that parts of our body ‘belong’ to us, is presumably developed using sensory information. Cutaneous signals seem ideal for this and can modify the sense of ownership. For example, an illusion of ownership over an artificial rubber hand can be induced by synchronously stroking both the subject’s hidden hand and a visible artificial hand. Like cutaneous sign...

Tactile sensing is essential for effective manipulation. A detailed understanding of the surface texture can also be used for industrial tasks such as quality assurance. This paper describes an application of machine learning in tactile sensing. A naive Bayes classifier is used to distinguish textures sensed by bio-inspired artificial finger. The finger has randomly distributed strain gauges an...

Our research goal is to improve stylus operability by utilizing the human knowledge and skills applied when a user uses a pen. Such knowledge and skills include, for example, the way a person holds a pen to apply a generous amount of ink to draw a thick line with a brush pen. We propose a form of interaction, Finger Action, which uses input operations applying such knowledge and skills. Finger ...

Total synthesis of proteins can be challenging despite assembling techniques, such as native chemical ligation (NCL) and expressed protein ligation (EPL). Especially, the combination of recombinant protein expression and chemically addressable solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is well suited for the redesign of native protein structures. Incorporation of analytical probes and artificial amin...

Zinc finger proteins acquire DNA-binding ability by Zn (II) complexation. In the zinc finger domain of the Cys2His2 type, each finger is approximately 30 amino acid residues long and consists of a simple ββα–fold stabilized by chelation of a zinc ion with the conserved Cys2His2 residues. A zinc finger motif of Cys2His2 offers an attractive framework for the design of a novel DNA-binding protein...

One of the most important case in humanoid robot designing is hand, which it consider as an country development. High percentage of robot work quality depend on hand capability. A robot function increase with hand movement. One of important movement in artificial hand capability relate to fingers lateral movement. This case has more effect intake of special objects such as round shape or moving...

The main goal of this paper is to provide an integrated design of the artificial index finger and to present the result of human like behavior. The big advantages of the prosthetic index finger are their incredible small size, volume and weight, their low cost .This paper describes our implementation of one finger of a future biomechatronic hand and remote control .This index finger captures th...
