Multivariate Data Analysis With Readings

This paper introduces the iRobot-Harvard-Yale (iHY) Hand, an underactuated hand driven by five actuators that is capable of performing a wide range of grasping and in-hand repositioning tasks. This hand was designed to address the need for a durable, inexpensive, moderately dexterous hand suitable for use on mobile robots. The primary focus of this paper will be on the novel simplified design of the iHY Hand, which was developed by choosing a set of target tasks around which the hand was optimized. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of underactuated fingers that are capable of both firm power grasps and low-stiffness fingertip grasps using only the compliant mechanics of the fingers. Experimental results demonstrate successful grasping of a wide range of target objects, the stability of fingertip grasping, and the ability to adjust the force exerted on grasped objects using high-impedance actuators and underactuated fingers.

A compliant, underactuated hand for robust manipulation

This news article reports on the events occurring and the views taken at the 1995 UN Conference on Women held in Beijing China and the Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) Forum. The setting in China for this decennially occurring conference was appropriate for the discussion of womens rights. Despite the selective coverage of the conference by Chinese official reports word would trickle out in whispers to Chinese women about some new ideas. Chinese visa restrictions on participants of the NGO Forum forced many women to devise ingenious ways of gaining entrance to the meetings. The alliance between the Holy See and Islam disciples threatened to undermine basic goals of conference to open up access to contraception and to change property rights. The conference chair diplomatically found justification for praise of unpopular views despite the disputes among a majority of delegates. The aim of the conference was to obtain a common understanding of some basic rights and not 100% agreement. Womens economic contributions have not been recognized in gross domestic product calculations. The World Bank has reported that about $13 billion is unaccounted for income and unwaged income of which about $8.5 billion is due to womens productivity. Women expressed the desire for recognition of their economic contribution. Since the last womens conference held in Nairobi in 1985 there has been an increase in world poverty. Uganda expends more on servicing its debt than on health and education. There was general agreement that gender equity was a goal but there was less consensus on how to achieve it.

Gross domestic product.

This paper introduces the i-HY Hand, an underactuated hand driven by 5 actuators that is capable of performing a wide range of grasping and in-hand manipulation tasks. This hand was designed to address the need for a durable, inexpensive, moderately dexterous hand suitable for use on mobile robots. The primary focus of this paper will be on the novel minimalistic design of i-HY, which was developed by choosing a set of target tasks around which the design of the hand was optimized. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of underactuated fingers that are capable of both firm power grasps and low- stiffness fingertip grasps using only the passive mechanics of the finger mechanism. Experimental results demonstrate successful grasping of a wide range of target objects, the stability of fingertip grasping, as well as the ability to adjust the force exerted on grasped objects using the passive finger mechanics.

An evaluation of A = 16{17 was published in Nuclear Physics A565 (1993), p. 1. This version of A = 16 diers from the published version in that we have corrected some errors discovered after the article went to press. It has also been slightly revised as of May 16 ,200 0t oinclud ehyperlink sfo rreference san dtables. Introductor ytables have been omitted from this manuscript. Also, Reference key numbers have been changed to the NNDC/TUNL format.

Energy Levels of Light Nuclei A =1 6

We have studied the peak shapes at 596 and 691 keV resulting from fast neutron interactions inside germanium detectors. We have used neutrons from a 252 Cf source, as well as from the 28 Si(μ − , nv), and 209 Bi(π − , xn) reactions to compare the peaks and to check for a dependence of peak shape on the incoming neutron energy. In our investigation, no difference between these three measurements has been observed. In a comparison of these peak shapes with other studies, we found similar results to ours except for those measurements using monoenergetic neutrons in which a significant variation with neutron energy has been observed.

In this work, we report on our progress in the development of a new anthropomorphic robot hand at the University of Malta. Following a brief overview of the work carried out in our laboratory so far, we discuss in some detail and through a fresh perspective a number of important lessons that can be learned from the human hand, and that can be very useful in the development of an artificial hand that can ultimately match the human counterpart in the execution of many tasks. We present a new design for a robot hand with joint position and grasping force sensing, based on the specific approaches brought up in this discussion, and targeted to reproduce many of the capabilities of the human hand. In particular, all of the actuation and sensing devices of the hand are located remotely from the device, therefore facilitating the development of a compact and lightweight hand design. A prototype of the new hand has been constructed and is presented herein. Finally, we present the initial results of our analysis to demonstrate how the magnitude and location of grasping forces can be inferred from the sensor readings.

This work first provides an overview of haptic gloves found in the literature, with a focus on their applications and their requirements. This information is then used to justify the use of Magnetorheological Fluid (MRF), a smart fluid which reversibly changes viscosity proportionally to an applied magnetic field, to effect the force feedback in a haptic glove. This is followed by the development of a linear damper to form part of the proposed glove, as well as a report on our selection of MRF through experiments performed on a number of fluids with different iron content, developed in-house. Finally, the paper describes the position sensing system and the preliminary design of the force feedback glove.

Quasi-dynamic analysis, design optimization, and evaluation of a two-finger underactuated hand

The design and development of dexterous robotic end effectors has been an active research area for a long while. This paper reviews the design and construction of a versatile robotic gripper used to grasp objects of arbitrary shape, size and weight. This is achieved through a mechanical design that incorporates multiple fingers and multiple joints per finger, through the installation of proximity and force sensors on the gripper, and through the employment of an innovative and practical control system architecture for the gripper components. The gripper is installed on a standard six degree-of-freedom industrial robot, and the gripper and robot control programs are integrated in a manner that allows easy application of the gripper in an industrial pick-and-place operation where the characteristics of the object can vary or are unknown.
