Robot rehabilitation is an emerging and promising topic that incorporates robotics with neuroscience and rehabilitation to define new methods for supporting patients with neurological diseases. As a consequence, the rehabilitation process could increase the efficacy exploiting the potentialities of…
A common trend in robotic manipulation is to build compliant hands that can exploit environmental constraints to perform robust grasps. However, in large-scale industrial applications, end-effectors are mostly rigid. How can we exploit environmental constraints using rigid industrial grippers? We pr
In this study, we present an efficient mathematical representation of soft robotic fingers based on screw theory. Then, we show how the model and its main properties can be exploited in the design phase, and we present an application for an underactuated tendon-driven gripper with a modular structur
