Feasibility of teleoperations with multi-fingered robotic hand for safe extravehicular manipulations

Bending Sensors Based on Thin Films of Semitransparent Bithiophene‐Fulleropyrrolidine Bisadducts

“…Differently from piezoelectricity in which a mechanical deformation induces the generation of an electronic potential, [12] piezoresistivity is based on the spacing or the slippage of the conductive domains caused by the application of mechanical strain within the material structure, finally increasing the electrical resistance [13] . This property is fundamental for emerging applications of wearable electronics, [14] including electronics skins, [15] human motion detection, [16] human‐machine interface, [16a,17] and other ones [18] . In particular, bending sensors [19] represents one of the most technologically relevant.…”

Objective Surgical Skill Assessment: An Initial Experience by Means of a Sensory Glove Paving the Way to Open Surgery Simulation?

“…1) based on acquired experiences for nonsurgical purposes. [14][15][16][17][18] The glove was equipped with 14 flex sensors (by Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc., Draper, UT) and a 3-axis accelerometer (ADXL335, by Analog Devices, Inc., Norwood, MA) able to measure the flex/ extension capabilities of the finger joints of a human hand, plus the wrist movements. Flex sensors were placed on distal interphalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and metacarpophalangeal finger joints, and the accelerometer was placed on backside of the hand (Fig.…”

Benchmarking the Grasping Capabilities of the iCub Hand With the YCB Object and Model Set

“…Datagloves have been used since about 30 years to measure human hand movements for a number of applications [20], including the control of robot hands [10], [21]- [23]. In our experiments we use the Immersion CyberGlove-II dataglove [24], which is considered the state-of-the-art input device for recording human hand postures [20].…”
