Chinese researchers have developed an omnidirectional soft bending sensor designed to be embedded in each finger of a humanoid dexterous hand, giving robots the ability to track finger posture in two ...

Researchers in China have demonstrated a humanoid dexterous hand that gives robot fingers a reliable sense of their own posture during complex motion. The research team embedded a new omnidirectional ...

Abstract: Data-driven soft sensors have been widely applied to estimating important yet difficult-to-measure quality-relevant variables in industrial processes. The complex industrial data exhibits ...

Abstract: Chemical processes involve complex operational mechanisms and high-dimensional variables with multiscale dependencies and temporal covariate shifts, posing significant challenges for soft ...

Summary: One of the hardest things for a robot to do isn’t lifting a heavy box—it’s clicking a computer mouse or playing a piano key. While robots have mastered “the grip,” they historically lack ...

Wearable assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) or exoskeletons are commonly evaluated using musculoskeletal simulations, yet the interface between device and body is typically ...

Plants cannot speak, but their leaves show important signs of health. The amount of water inside a leaf tells how well a plant is doing and whether it is under stress. When water levels drop, the ...

A complete autonomous docking system for mobile robots using ROS2 Humble and Gazebo simulation. This project demonstrates advanced robotics concepts including state machine control, battery management ...
