The large availability of multi--gigabit network cards for commodity PCs requires network applications to potentially cope with high volumes of traffic. However, computation intensive operations may not catch up with high traffic rates and need…
The evolution of commodity PCs towards multi– core processing platforms equipped with high–speed network interfaces makes them reasonable and cost effective targets for the implementation of generic network functions. In addition, the availability of software…
This demonstration allows attendees to experience skin stretch as haptic feedback in conjunction with a prosthetic hand to handle and complete tasks with everyday objects. The closure position of the Pisa/IIT SoftHand is indicated to…
Grasp and manipulation is a complex task, deceivingly simple to accomplish for humans in everyday life, yet challenging when it has to be implemented in a robotic hand. There is a trend in literature to…
Human hands are capable of a variety of movements, thanks to their extraordinary biomechanical structure and relying on the richness of human tactile information. Recently, soft robotic hands have opened exciting possibilities and, at the…
