OpenSim: Open-Source Software to Create and Analyze Dynamic Simulations of Movement
Scott L. Delp,Frank C. Anderson,Allison S. Arnold,Peter Loan,Ayman Habib,Chand T. John,Eran Guendelman,Darryl G. Thelen +7 more
TL;DR: OpenSim is developed, a freely available, open-source software system that lets users develop models of musculoskeletal structures and create dynamic simulations of a wide variety of movements to simulate the dynamics of individuals with pathological gait and to explore the biomechanical effects of treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hand movements: a window into haptic object recognition.
TL;DR: Two experiments establish links between desired knowledge about objects and hand movements during haptic object exploration, and establish that in free exploration, a procedure is generally used to acquire information about an object property, not because it is merely sufficient, butBecause it is optimal or even necessary.

Tactile Sensing—From Humans to Humanoids
TL;DR: Tactile sensing, focused to fingertips and hands until past decade or so, has now been extended to whole body, even though many issues remain open, and various system issues that keep tactile sensing away from widespread utility are discussed.
