To improve the manipulation ability of robotic fingers, this paper proposes a design of an anthropomorphic soft fingertip with distributed receptors.
This overview of our work on precision pinch (i.e., the ability to produce and control fingertip forces) presents some of our findings around three Research Themes: Mechanics-based quantification of manipulation ability; Anatomically realistic musculoskeletal finger models; and Neural control of finger muscles.
In this case, the hand can move the object in any direction with the same gain, implying a good manipulation ability.
The H. naledi hand shares aspects of Homo morphology in the wrist, thumb and palm, pointing to enhanced object manipulation ability relative to australopiths, including Au. sediba (Kivell et al., 2011; Kivell et al., 2015).
At present, such systems do not fully close the loop; while the animal can see the robotic interface, and therefore guide it visually, effective tactile feedback, which may allow a finer manipulation ability, has yet to be fully developed.
To perform single cell analysis, the analysis platform should have both accurate observation and manipulation abilities.
Combining holographic optical tweezers with a motorized microscope stage offers unparalleled nanomembrane manipulation abilities over a large range of motion.
Despite lower spatial resolution, the superior contrast and image manipulation abilities of FFDM obviate the need for conventional microfocus magnification in the radiographic work up of microcalcifications.
Besides a significant improvement of tactile acuity in elderly people, we report for the first time that CA improves haptic object exploration skills and fine motor object manipulation abilities.
Care of persons with dementia and delirium was guided by the 4 principles underlying the REAP (Relate well, Environmental manipulation, Abilities focused and Personhood) model of care conceptualized by the Principal Investigator (PI) [ 22].
An adult learning approach was used to train nurses how to apply these strategies in practice [ 28- 30]. 2. Behaviour management: This component involves the use of the REAP (Relate well, Environmental manipulation, Abilities focused care and Personhood) model of practice [ 31].
