This article reports on the state of the art of artificial hands, discussing some of the field's
most important trends and suggesting directions for future research. We review and group …

Over the last decade, there has been an increased interest in develo** aerial robotic
platforms that exhibit gras** and perching capabilities not only within the research …

The emerging discussion about the sustainability potential of distributed production is the
starting point for this paper. The focus is on the “design global, manufacture local” model …

Although gras** and manipulation are key aspects of a robotic system's functionality,
researchers often only have a limited selection of end effectors compatible with their …

In this paper we present an open-source design for the development of low-complexity,
anthropomorphic, underactuated robot hands with a selectively lockable differential …

The force, speed, dexterity, and compact size required of prosthetic hands present extreme
design challenges for engineers. Current prosthetics rely on high-quality motors to achieve …

Current gras** methods for aerial vehicles are slow, inaccurate and they cannot adapt to
any target object. Thus, they do not allow for on-the-fly, ultra-fast gras**. In this paper, we …

Currently, most externally powered prostheses are controlled using electromyography (or
EMG), which is the measure of the electrical signals that are produced when voluntary …

Identifying objects during the early phases of robotic gras** in unstructured environments
is a crucial step toward successful dexterous robotic manipulation. Underactuated hands are …

Prosthetic hands, while having shown significant progress in affordability, typically suffer
from limited repairability, specifically by the user themselves. Several modular hands have …
