A Novel Sensor for a Bio-Mimetic Finger

A Joint Motion Planning Based on a Bio-Mimetic Approach for Human-like Finger Motion

Grasping and manipulation by hands can be considered as one of inevitable functions to achieve the performances desired in humanoid operations. When a humanoid robot manipulates an object by his hands, each finger should be well-controlled to accomplish a precise manipulation of the object grasped. So, the trajectory of each joint required for a precise finger motion is fundamentally necessary ...

Mechanical Investigation of a Novel Bio - Mimetic Morphing Structure

A novel sensor based on a heterocyclic ionophore for cerium (III) analysis in real samples

A new polyvinyl choloride (PVC) membrane sensor for cerium(III) was prepared based on 4,13-didecyl-1,7,10,16-tetraoxa-4,13-diazacyclooctadecane (kryptofix22DD) as an ionophore. The sensorexhibites a linear concentration range of 1.0×10-6 to 1.0×10-1 M, with aNernstian slope of 18.0±1.0 mV/decade, and a detection limit of 9.7×10-7M. It has a fast response time (5 s) and can be used for two month...

A Bio-mimetic Amphibious Soft Cord Robot

Some living beings both on ground and in water can move by forming traveling waves along their bodies, therefore the mechanisms using the traveling waves have the amphibious possibility . Several robots have been developed using the mechanisms, but there are no amphibious robots . In this study, our goal is development of a bio-mimetic soft cord robot which can move on ground and in water. Firs...
