During social interaction humans extract important information from tactile stimuli that
enriches their understanding of the interaction. This process depends, however, not only on …

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a nondestructive imaging technique used to
estimate the internal conductivity distribution of a conductive domain by taking potential …

An ideal hand prosthesis should provide satisfying functionality based on reliable decoding
of the user's intentions and deliver tactile feedback in a natural manner. The absence of …

Robotic manipulators for Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RMIS) pass through
small incisions into the patient's body and interact with soft internal organs. The performance …

The development of a tactile sensor based on optical fiber specklegram analysis is reported.
The device is comprised of 9 microbending transducers connected to 3 multimode fibers …

The developments of medical practices and medical technologies have always progressed
