The surface electromyography(sEMG) sensor is widely used as a human-machine interface in wearable systems. Although numerous studies have applied compact sEMG systems to wearable devices, these are inconvenient and not suitable for long-term use. Herein, we introduce a 2.5D laser cutting method to a
Hydrostatic transmission has shown promising results for enabling the manipulator to achieve low effective inertia, high stiffness, and high torque density. However, the incompressibility of fluid causes the lack of compliance, so that it could not provide intrinsic safety. Thus, it would be advanta…
The tactile and proprioceptive sensation increases human manipulability, and soft tissue compliance stabilizes the grasping function. However, it is challenging to transpose this system to the small confined space of soft robotic fingers due to the material properties and complex wiring entailed. Fu…
An echinoderm can actively modulate the structural stiffness of its body wall by as much as 10 times, using the material and structural features that make up its body, including calcite ossicles, connective tissue and interossicular muscle. This capacity for variable stiffness makes it possible to a…
