Acoustic transmission, or sound, can effectively communicate information over distances through various media. We focus on generating acoustic transmission using pneumatically driven resonators for wireless tactile sensing without the need for any electronics at the end-effector or contact point. We
The Smart Suction Cup is a tactile sensing and gripping system designed to enhance pick-and-place operations in industrial settings. While previous research has primarily focused on utilizing this technology for haptic search in cases of initial grasp failure, this study introduces a novel applicati…
The disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) presents a sustainability challenge, particularly for waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). PCBs are challenging to sort out from other waste materials in part because traditional industrial end-effectors struggle to reliably grip these…
The Dorsal Grasper, an assistive wearable grasping device, incorporates supernumerary fingers and an artificial palm with the forearm and back of the hand, respectively. It enables power wrap grasping and adduction pinching with its V-shaped soft fingers. Designed with C6/C7 spinal cord injury in mi…
