TL;DR: A new multi-modal haptic device designed to deliver sensory feedback to upper limb amputees using a myoelectric prosthesis that conveys to the individual information about contact between digits and the environment through a vibrotactile stimulus and grip force applied by the prosthesis on objects via force/pressure feedback.

TL;DR: In vitro testing in a tissue-mimicking environment and upon contact with C2C12 myoblasts enabled assessment of the superiority of parylene C coated magnets in terms of corrosion prevention and lack of cytotoxicity and confirmed their biocompatibility, with a lack of irritation and toxicity associated with the implant.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of remanent magnetization, number of sensors, and geometrical configuration (i.e., distance among magnets and sensors) on the accuracy of the localizer were investigated.

TL;DR: This paper presents a fast approach for marker-less Full-DOF hand tracking, leveraging only depth information from a single depth camera, and applies the proposed technology to enable remote transmission of signs from Tactile Sing Languages, allowing non-invasive remote communication among deaf-blind users and with deaf, blind and hearing with proficiency in Sign Languages.

TL;DR: The design of a non-back-drivable rotary mechanism with intrinsic compliance for a robotic thumb ab/adduction joint is presented, which enables switch off of the power supply once a desired posture is stable, thus avoiding accidental dangerous releases of the grasped object.
