'Abdelrahman Mohamed Ragab M. Ahmed' 'Marcelo H. Ang Jr'] The handshake is the most acceptable gesture of greeting in many cultures throughout many centuries. To date, robotic arms are not capable of fully replicating this typical human gesture. Using multiple sensors that detect contact forces and displacements, we…

— Quadruped robots are showing impressive abilities to navigate the real world. If they are to become more integrated into society, social trust in interactions with humans will become increasingly important. Additionally, robots will need to be adaptable to different humans based on individual preferences. In this…

--- Digital communication tools are limited to visual and auditory information and lack non-verbal information such as touch, which is important for communicating intentions and emotions. In order to solve this problem, the use of haptic technology in digital communication is attracting attention. In this study, we…

'Marjolaine Debant' 'Jacob A. Kinsella' 'Charlotte Revill' 'Charline Fagnen' 'Jian Shi' 'Richard Foster' 'David J. Beech' 'Antreas C. Kalli'] PIEZOs form trimeric calcium-permeable nonselective cationic channels that serve mechanical sensing needs across eukaryotic biology. Forces act on the channels by causing their…

Addition is a fundamental computer arithmetic operation that is widely performed in microprocessors, digital signal processors, and application-specific processors. The design of a high-speed and energy-efficient adder is thus useful and important for practical applications. In this context, this paper presents the…

Challenges Authors: ['Abdollah Jabbari' 'Y. A. Joarder' 'Benjamin Teyssier' 'Carol Fung'] QUIC protocol is primarily designed to optimize web performance and security. However, previous research has pointed out that it is vulnerable to handshake flooding attacks. Attackers can send excessive volume of handshaking…

The brain has somewhat separate cognitive resources for the left and right sides of our visual field. Despite this lateralization, we have a smooth and unified perception of our environment. This raises the question of how the cerebral hemispheres are coordinated to transfer information between them. We recorded neural…

A number of works investigate the impact of social touch in VR and AR and validate that the social touch can enhance the user experience in remote communication and collaborations. Other works develop techniques for emulating social touch between remote users . Nakani et al. used a robot hand to emulate hand shaking…

'Claudia Voelcker-Rehage' 'Tanvi Bhatt' 'Shuaijie (Jay) Wang'] Handover actions are joint actions between two people in which an object is handed over from a giver to a receiver. This necessitates precise coordination and synchronization of both the reach and grasp kinematics and the scaling of grip forces of the…

We present a robot-to-human object handover algorithm and implement it on a 7-DOF arm equipped with a 3-finger mechanical hand. The system performs a fully autonomous and robust object handover to a human receiver in real-time. Our algorithm relies on two complementary sensor modalities: joint torque sensors on the arm…

Introduction Handover actions are joint actions in which an object is passed from one actor to another. In order to carry out a smooth handover action, precise coordination of both actors’ movements is of critical importance. This requires the synchronization of both the kinematics of the reaching movement and the grip…

While it is well established that apes invent or individually learn new gestures, cases of development and use of novel gestures in monkeys are more rarely described. We report a case of a novel, idiosyncratic gesture in a Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus) at ‘La Forêt des Singes’, Rocamadour, France. One adult male…

In everyday activities, humans use a finite number of postural hand configurations, but how do they flow into each other to create sophisticated manual behavior? We hypothesized that hand movement emerges through the temporal dynamics of a set of recurrent hand shapes characterized by specific transitions. Through a…

The abilities of the human hand have always fascinated people, and many studies have been devoted to describing and understanding a mechanism so perfect and important for human activities. Hand loss can significantly affect the level of autonomy and the capability of performing the activities of daily life. Although…

Studying naturalistic hand behaviours is challenging due to the limitations of conventional marker-based motion capture, which can be costly, time-consuming, and encumber participants. While markerless pose estimation exists – an accurate, off-the-shelf solution validated for hand-object manipulation is needed. We…
