Current force sensors used to capture fingertip interaction forces lack compliance to the
fingertip tissue resulting in the loss of touch sensation of the user. 3D printing offers the …

This study introduces a sensorised device designed to address current shortcomings of post-
stroke patient rehabilitation assessment. The device interfaces with a platform allowing …

Conventionally, a robotic grasp is represented by point contacts with rigid body description
for object and gripper. With these assumptions, the contact forces and moments are …

Hands are paramount for dexterous interactions that humans exhibit in daily life.
Understanding the intricacies of human hand-object interactions is therefore necessary …

The analysis of the human gras** and manipulation capabilities is paramount for
investigating human sensory-motor control and develo** prosthetic and robotic hands …

In this paper, a novel, robust, and simple method for automatically estimating the hand pose
is proposed and validated. The method uses a multi-camera optoelectronic system and a …

The assessment of post-stroke patient rehabilitation currently lacks a comprehensive
approach, often relying on subjective evaluations without a universally accepted quantitative …

This paper proposes the use of an instrumented object for the study of the human gras**
strategies. The proposed object is able to measure the gras** forces by means of three …

From a psychology perspective, the use of playful activities with tools can be a powerful
method for the assessment and monitoring of children's psychomotor development. The …
