Prosthetic hands have greatly evolved in mechatronic, robotic and control aspects. However, occasional accidents might happen due to excessive grip force or the breaking of contact due to slip. Fast transient slip events can be properly handled by a low-level controller that can behave like a reflex to maintain grasp stability in a shared control manner between the user and the prosthetic hand itself. Here we propose the use of a reflective optic sensor to capture slip events and evaluate the performance of a monotonic PI (MPI) control law that acts as to suppress slip. We have characterized the response of the sensor to motion and noted that transparent surfaces generate smaller responses. The proof-of-concept experiment demonstrated the effectiveness of the MPI controller where slip events were properly suppressed by an increase in grip force.

Reactive Planning and Control of Planar Spring-Mass Running on Rough Terrain Arslan, Omur; Saranlı, Uluç (2012-06-01) An important motivation for work on legged robots has always been their potential for high-performance locomotion on rough terrain. Nevertheless, most existing control algorithms for such robots either make rigid assumptions about their environments or rely on kinematic planning at low speeds. Moreover, the traditional separation of planning from control often has negative impact on the robustness of the system. In this paper, we introduce a new method for dynamic, fully reactive footstep planning for a pla...
Acoustic surface perception from naturally occurring step sounds of a dexterous hexapod robot Ozkul, Mine Cuneyitoglu; Saranlı, Afşar; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-01) Legged robots that exhibit dynamic dexterity naturally interact with the surface to generate complex acoustic signals carrying rich information on the surface as well as the robot platform itself. However, the nature of a legged robot, which is a complex, hybrid dynamic system, renders the more common approach of model-based system identification impractical. The present paper focuses on acoustic surface identification and proposes a non-model-based analysis and classification approach adopted from the spee...
Optimum Design of 6R Passive Haptic Robotic Arm for Implant Surgery Yılmaz, Serkan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2010-07-10) The aim of this research was to design an optimum 6R passive haptic robotic arm (PHRA) to work in a limited workspace during dental implant surgery. Misplacement of an implant during dental surgery causes longer recuperation periods and functional disorders. In this study, a passive guidance robot arm was designed as a surgical aid tool for a dentist during the operation to reduce the surgical complications. Optimum design of a 6R robot is a complex issue since minimum energy has to be consumed while maximu...
3D animation for hand preshaping Güler, Mehmet Soner; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) The human hand is an essential part of human body, capable of making complex and expressive motions. Its complicated structure makes it a formidable challenge for animators to animate hand motions. Most computer graphics research on hand motion has focused on preshaping, preshaping and gestures with application to areas of human computer interaction and sign language. There are also a number of educational applications such as typing, playing of musical instruments etc. From a computer graphics standpoint, ...
Nonlinear elastic material property estimation of lower extremity residual limb tissues Tönük, Ergin (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2003-03-01) The interface stresses between the residual limb and prosthetic socket have been studied to investigate prosthetic fit. Finite-element models of the residual limb-prosthetic socket interface facilitate investigation of the mechanical interface and may serve as a potential tool for future prosthetic socket design. However, the success of such residual limb models to date has been limited, in large part due to inadequate material formulations used to approximate the mechanical behavior of residual limb soft t...
