A human foot with high degrees of freedom (DOF) that has multi-DOF toe joints and a two-DOF ankle provides multiple benefits, such as increased stride length and walking speed, impact mitigation, and enhanced balancing. However, creating such mechanisms for legged robots has been challenging due to…
The demand for autonomous nasopharyngeal swab sampling robot systems is increasing owing to the recent outbreak of the respiratory virus pandemic. To protect the medical staff from infection, automatic upper respiratory sample collecting robotic systems are needed. The nasopharyngeal swab sampling r
Achieving both the precise pinching and compliant grasping capabilities is a challenging goal for most robotic hands and grippers. Moreover, an active transition between the pinching pose and the grasping pose is difficult for limited degrees-of-freedom (DOF) hands or grippers. Even when using high
