  1. 1. Tactile Sensory Control of Dexterous Manipulation in Humans

    Författare :Ingvars Birznieks; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; cutaneous sensibility; tactile afferents; fingertip force; grasp stability; human hand; manipulation; object shape; precision grip; sensorimotor control; coding; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : During dexterous manipulation with the fingertips, forces are applied to objects' surfaces. To achieve grasp stability, these forces must be appropriate given the properties of the objects and the skin of the fingertips, and the nature of the task. LÄS MER

  3. 2. To grip and not to slip : sensorimotor mechanisms in reactive control of grasp stability

    Författare :Charlotte Häger Ross; Roland S. Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human; hand; precision grip; grasp force; friction; cutaneous mechanoreceptors; sensorimotor integration; motor control;

    Sammanfattning : The reactive control of fingertip forces maintaining grasp stability was examined in man during a prehensile task. Blindfolded subjects used the precision grip between the tips of index finger and thumb to restrain an object that was subjected to unpredictable load forces. These were delivered tangential to the parallel grip surfaces of the object. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Metal fusion using pulsed GasMetal Arc : Melt pool modellingand CFD simulation

    Författare :Pradip Aryal; Isabelle Choquet; Muriel Carin; Högskolan Väst; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gas metal arc; Electromagnetic force modelling; Free surface deformation; Computational Fluid Dynamics; OpenFOAM; Gasmetallbågsvetsning; Svetsläge; Elektromagnetiskkraftmodellering; Smältytans rörelser; Computational Fluid Dynamics; OpenFOAM; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Pulsed gas metal arc is a highly efficient technique used in manufacturing processes like welding and additive manufacturing. It offers high productivity and cost benefits but it is also prone to defect formation when process parameters are not properly controlled and optimized. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Dexterous Grasping : Representation and Optimization

    Författare :Kaiyu Hang; Nancy Pollard; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dexterous Grasping; Hierarchical Fingertip Space; Grasp Planning; Grasp Adaptation; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Many robot object interactions require that an object is firmly held, and that the grasp remains stable during the whole manipulation process. Based on grasp wrench space, this thesis address the problems of measuring the grasp sensitivity against friction changes, planning contacts and hand configurations on mesh and point cloud representations of arbitrary objects, planning adaptable grasps and finger gaiting for keeping a grasp stable under various external disturbances, as well as learning of grasping manifolds for more accurate reachability and inverse kinematics computation for multifingered grasping.

  7. 5. Neural correlates of hand function in typically developing individuals and children with unilateral cerebral palsy

    Författare :Linda Holmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The ability to use our hands is crucial in order to achieve the goals of almost all activities in everyday life. Most of us learn how to handle objects and adjust our hand and finger movements to perform increasingly difficult tasks during childhood and adolescence. LÄS MER
