'Bin Xue' 'Chenyu Li' 'Shang Wang' 'Xiaobo Yang' 'Chao Li' 'Zhigang Qiu' 'Jingfeng Wang' 'Zhiqiang Shen'] Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is a significant concern, as it can cause severe infections and hemolytic trauma. Given its prevalence in seawater and coastal seafood, it poses a substantial risk as a…

A rapid, sensitive and simple point-of-care (POC) nucleic acid diagnostic test is needed to prevent spread of infectious diseases. Paper-based toehold reaction, a recently emerged colorimetric POC nucleic acid diagnostic test, has been widely used for pathogen detection and microbiome profiling. Here, we introduce an…

The development of fluorescent light up RNA aptamers (FLAPs) has paved the way for the creation of sensors to track RNA in live cells. A major challenge with FLAP sensors is their brightness and their limited signal-to-background ratio both in vivo and in vitro. To address this, we develop sensors using the Pepper…

Somatosensory feedback is essential for motor control, yet artificial limbs are thought to lack such feedback. We investigated how the body and brain gather informative sensory signals from a wearable augmentation interface (a robotic digit for motor augmentation), and whether naturally-mediated feedback can support…

Instead of extensively placing high-dense force sensors by covering the whole plantar area, as most of commercial applications do, we integrate only a few force sensors in specific plantar area, so that the sensory system is not restricted to an individual foot size and shape, and on the other hand has relatively lower…

'Tan Ngoc Nguyen' 'Fan Xu' 'Bertille Dupont' 'Leanna Hogarth' 'Takahide Yoshiike' 'Shahriar Mirabbasi' 'John D. W. Madden'] Soft sensors that can discriminate shear and normal force could help provide machines the fine control desirable for safe and effective physical interactions with people. A capacitive sensor is…

Mycelium bound composites are promising materials for a diverse range of applications including wearables and building elements. Their functionality surpasses some of the capabilities of traditionally passive materials, such as synthetic fibres, reconstituted cellulose fibres and natural fibres. Thereby, creating novel…

— Soft robotics is an emerging field that yields promising results for tasks that require safe and robust interactions with the environment or with humans, such as grasping, manipulation, and human-robot interaction. Soft robots rely on intrinsically compliant components and are difficult to equip with traditional…

Multi-dimensional mechanoreceptors are crucial for both humans and robots, providing omnidirectional force/torque senses to ensure dexterous and precise manipulations. Current six-axis force/torque sensors are bulky, heavy, and rigid with complicated sensing structures and high-cost manufacture. Although flexible force…

'Edward H. Adelson' 'Alberto Rodríguez'] To achieve a compact integration, we redesign the optical path from illumination source to camera by combining light guides and an arrangement of mirror reflections. We parameterize the optical path with geometric design variables and describe the tradeoffs between the finger…

Integration, and Evaluation Authors: ['Emanuele Aucone' 'Carmelo Sferrazza' 'Manuel Gregor' 'Raffaello D’Andrea' 'Stefano Mintchev'] Abstract—Distributed tactile sensing for multi-force detection is crucial for various aerial robot interaction tasks. However, current contact sensing solutions on drones only exploit…

The sense of touch is a key aspect in the human capability to robustly grasp and manipulate a wide variety of objects. Despite many years of development, there is still no preferred solution for tactile sensing in robotic hands: multiple technologies are available, each one with different benefits depending on the…

In this paper, in order to perform delicate and advanced grip control like human, a proximity and tactile combination sensor using miniaturized microcantilevers one-fifth the size of previous one as the detection part was newly developed. Microcantilevers were arranged with higher spatial density than in previous works…

Legged Robots Authors: ['Hyunbin Kim' 'Byeong-Il Ham' 'Keun Ha Choi' 'Kyung‐Soo Kim'] Abstract—This paper introduces a novel six-axis force/torque sensor tailored for compact and lightweight legged robots. Unlike traditional strain gauge-based sensors, the proposed non-contact design employs photocouplers, enhancing…

'Tito Pradhono Tomo' 'Sophon Somlor' 'Shigeki Sugano'] Abstract— Skill transfer from humans to robots is challenging. Presently, many researchers focus on capturing only position or joint angle data from humans to teach the robots. Even though this approach has yielded impressive results for grasping applications…

Obstacle crossing is a typical adaptive locomotion known to be related to the risk of falls. Previous conventional studies have used elaborate and costly optical motion capture systems, which not only represent a considerable expense but also require participants to visit a laboratory. To overcome these shortcomings…

Humans use tactile feedback to perform skillful manipulation. When tactile sensory feedback is unavailable, for instance, if the fingers are anesthetized, dexterity is severely impaired. Imaging the deformation of the finger pad skin when in contact with a transparent plate provides information about the tactile…

The torque sensor is used to measure the joint torque of a robot manipulator. Previous research showed that the sensitivity and the stiffness of torque sensors have trade-off characteristics. Stiffness has to be sacrificed to increase the sensitivity of the sensor. In this research, a new torque sensor with high…
