ABSTRACT

This paper presents an anthropomorphic robot hand called the Gifu hand II, which has a thumb and four fingers, all the joints of which are driven by servomotors built into the fingers and the palm. The thumb has four joints with four-degrees-of-freedom (DOF); the other fingers have four joints with 3-DOF; and two axes of the joints near the palm cross orthogonally at one point, as is the case in the human hand. The Gifu hand II can be equipped with six-axes force sensor at each fingertip and a developed distributed tactile sensor w ....etc

Robonaut
Robonaut is a humanoid robot designed by the Robot Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with DARPA. The Robonaut project seeks to develop and demonstrate a robotic system that can function as an EVA astronaut equivalent. Robonaut jumps generations ahead by eliminating the robotic scars (e.g., special robotic grapples and targets) and specialized robotic tools of traditional on-orbit robotics. However, it still keeps the human operator in the control loop through ....etc

ABSTRACT
The utilization of autonomous intelligent robots in search and rescue (SAR) is a new and challenging field of robotics, dealing with tasks in extremely hazardous and complex disaster environments. Autonomy, high mobility, robustness, and modularity are critical design issues of rescue robotics, requiring dexterous devices equipped with the ability to learn from prior rescue experience, adaptable to variable types of usage with a wide enough functionality under different sensing modules, and comp ....etc

Synopsis
How much force does it take to drive a nail through different types of wood?
In this project we built a simple test apparatus to swing a hammer reproducibly so we can find out. The goal of this project is to measure how much force is needed to hammer nails into different kinds of wood.
It takes a lot of energy to drive a nail into a solid piece of wood.
The hammer drives the nail through the structure of the wood. As the nail drives through, it pushes aside the cellulose fibers of the wood, which are held ....etc

ABSTRACT
This paper details the design and operation of the Barrett Hand BH8-250, an intelligent, highly flexible eight-axis gripper that reconfigures itself in real time to conform securely to a wide variety of part shapes without tool-change interruptions. The grasper brings enormous value to factory automation because it: reduces the required number and size of robotic work cells (which average US$90,000 each “ not including the high cost of footprint) while boosting factory throughput; conso ....etc

Sensitive skin is a large-area, flexible array of sensors with data processing capabilities, which can be used to cover the entire surface of a machine or even a part of a human body. Depending on the skin electronics, it endows its carrier with an ability to sense its surroundings via the skinâ„¢s proximity, touch, pressure, temperature, chemical/biological, or other sensors. Sensitive skin devices will make possible the use of unsupervised machines operating in unstructured, unpredictable surroundings among people, among many obstacles, o ....etc
