  1. 1. Adaptive Grasping Using Tactile Sensing

    Författare :Emil Hyttinen; Danica Kragic; Renaud Detry; Giacomo Spampinato; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Robotics; Grasping; Tactile Sensing; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Grasping novel objects is challenging because of incomplete object data and because of uncertainties inherent in real world applications. To robustly perform grasps on previously unseen objects, feedback from touch is essential. In our research, we study how information from touch sensors can be used to improve grasping novel objects.

  3. 2. Tactile sensing of prostate cancer : a resonance sensor method evaluated using human prostate tissue in vitro

    Författare :Ville Jalkanen; Olof Lindahl; Britt Andersson; Tomas Jansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tactile resonance sensor; prostate tissue; prostate cancer; stiffness; density; elastic; variations; tissue histology; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the most frequent type of cancer in men in Europe and the USA. The methods presently used to detect and diagnose prostate cancer are inexact, and new techniques are needed. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Sensing the environment : development of monitoring aids for persons with profound deafness or deafblindness

    Författare :Parivash Ranjbar; Dag Stranneby; Erik Borg; Charlotte M. Reed; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Auditive identification; Deaf; Deafblind; Directional perception; Environmental sound; Filtering; Frequency transposing; Hearing aid; Hearing impairment; Modulating; Monitoring; Tactile perception; Vibratory aid; Vibratory identification; Electronics; Elektronik; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Elektronik; Electronics;

    Sammanfattning : Earlier studies of persons with deafness (D) and/or deafblindness (DB) have primarily focused on the mobility and communication problems. The purpose of the present study was to develop technology for monitoring aids to improve the ability of persons with D and/or DB to detect, identify, and perceive direction of events that produce sounds in their surroundings.

  5. 4. Tactile Perception - Role of Physical Properties

    Författare :Lisa Skedung; Mark Rutland; Katrin Danerlöv; Sören Andersson; Ann Maria Cornell; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Finger Friction; Skin Friction; Paper Friction; Friction Coefficient; Piezoelectric Force Sensor; Skin Tribology; Biotribology; Soft Tribology; Surface Roughness; Profilometry; Coated Paper; Uncoated Paper; Printing Paper; Magazine Paper; Tactile Perception; Psychophysics; Multidimensional Scaling; Magnitude Estimation; Paper Coarseness; Thermal Conductivity; X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to interconnect human tactile perception with various physical properties of materials. Tactile perception necessitates contact and relative motion between the skin and the surfaces of interest. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Learning to Assess Grasp Stability from Vision, Touch and Proprioception

    Författare :Yasemin Bekiroglu; Danica Kragic; Erhan Oztop; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Robotic grasping; Machine Learning; Tactile Sensing;

    Sammanfattning : Grasping and manipulation of objects is an integral part of a robot’s physical interaction with the environment. In order to cope with real-world situations, sensor based grasping of objects and grasp stability estimation is an important skill. LÄS MER
