  1. 1. Tactile Grasping for Domestic Service Robots : Simulations, Experiments and Hand Design

    Författare :Johan Tegin; Jan Wikander; Rüdinger Dillman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Manipulators; Simulation; Robot tactile systems; Modeling; Grasping; Tactile sensors; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents methods and tools for robotic grasping. The application in mind is service robots for a home environment, although the work also has applications in other areas. Service robots must be capable of manipulation, i.e. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Information Processing in the Nervous System. On a Holistic Functional Organization Principle

    Författare :Jonas Enander; Hjärnans sensorimotoriska funktioner; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Somatosensory; Tactile; Neuron; Neocortex; Brain organization; Cortical functional localization;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the nature of information processing in the nervous system. This issue has been investigated with animal experiments, using male Sprague–Dawley rats, and simulated touch generated by an artificial fingertip with neuromorphic tactile sensors. LÄS MER

  7. 5. A Tactile Resonance Sensor System for Detection of Prostate Cancer ex vivo : Design and Evaluation on Tissue Models and Human Prostate

    Författare :Anders P Åstrand; Britt M Andersson; Ville Jalkanen; Olof A Lindahl; E. Göran Salerud; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electronics; elektronik;

    Sammanfattning : Background The most common form of cancer among males in Europe and the USA is prostate cancer, PCa. Surgical removal of the prostate is the most common form of curative treatment. LÄS MER
