In laparoscopic surgery, large organs are difficult to handle with one forceps, resulting in low surgical efficiency. In this study, to improve surgical efficiency, we developed a five-fingered robotic forceps that can be inserted through small incisions and has multiple degrees of freedom to handle…
Currently, myoelectric prosthetic hands are not recognized as part of the body due to the lack of sensory feedback (FB). To address this issue, it is necessary to investigate the factors that influence body recognition. Most existing research focuses on stationary prosthetic hands, such as in the ru
The purpose of this study is to investigate how sensory feedback affects the cognitive strain of grasping using a prosthesis and to develop an efficient method for decreasing the cognitive strain of grasping. We divided a grasping action into two phases, an “approaching phase” and a “grasping phase”
