The journey of a prosthetic user is characterized by the opportunities and the limitations of a
device that should enable activities of daily living (ADL). In particular, experiencing a bionic …

This paper showcases a substantial review on some of the significant work done on 3D
printing of sensors for biomedical applications. The importance of 3D printing techniques …

Restoration of touch after hand amputation is a desirable feature of ideal prostheses. Here,
we show that texture discrimination can be artificially provided in human subjects by …

Any device which senses information such as shape, texture, softness, temperature,
vibration or shear and normal forces, by physical contact or touch, can be termed a tactile …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of hydrophones, their design considerations,
physical aspects, and structures by reviewing many publications that have been published …

The paper highlights some of the significant works done in the field of medical and
biomedical sensing using silicon-based technology. The use of silicon sensors is one of the …

The performance of robotic and prosthetic hands in unstructured environments is severely
limited by their having little or no tactile information compared to the rich tactile feedback of …

Strong motivation for develo** new prosthetic hand devices is provided by the fact that low
functionality and controllability—in addition to poor cosmetic appearance—are the most …

This paper concerns the design, fabrication and characterization of graphite/PDMS sensors
for low-force sensing applications. Exploiting the design flexibility of 3D printing, moulds of …

The paper describes the detailed design and the prototype characterization of a novel tactile
sensor1 for robotic applications. The sensor is based on a two-layer structure, ie a printed …
