The pre-slip sensing algorithm is proposed and implemented into two-finger robot gripper. An algorithm that can discriminate between types of contact surface and recognize objects at the contact stage is also proposed. A technique for recognizing objects using tactile sensor arrays, and a method based on the quadric surface parameter for classifying grasped objects is described. Tactile arrays can recognize surface types on contact, making it possible for a tactile system to recognize translation, rotation, and scaling of an object independently.Diese Dissertation beschreibt eine neue Art von taktilen Sensoren und einen verbesserten Ansatz zur dynamischen Erfassung von taktilen daten, der in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen eine genaue Bew...
Slip Prediction through Tactile Sensing

The prototype sensor can be used to provide intrinsic information relating to geometrical features situated on the surface of grasped objects. Information along the gripper finger surface is obtained with a measurement resolution dependant on the number of discrete tactile elements. The tactile sensor predicts the partial slip of a tactile surface by sensing micro vibrations in tangential forces which are caused by an expansion of the slip regions within the contact area. The location of the local slip is not specified but its occurrence can be predicted immediately following micro vibration detection. Predictive models have been used to develop a set of rules which predict the slip based on fluctuations in tactile signal data.
Real time kinect based robotic arm manipulation with five degree of freedom

This method uses kinect depth data, skeletal data and joint orientation data for end effector movement including roll, pitch and pinch. For the initial data, we extracted skeletal of the person, hand position and hand state. In closed hand state condition, the position of the hand is extracted and the three dimension data is used for inverse kinematics of the joints of the robotic arm. In open hand state, tilting and rolling of hand is used for pitch and roll respectively. In lasso state, pinch of end effector is perceived. The robotic arm used for the experimentation is Scorbot ER III. The system shows promising results for non-invasive robotic arm manipulation.

Tactile Sensors for Force Control and Contact Recognition

An algorithm that can discriminate between types of contact surface and recognize objects at the contact stage is also proposed. A technique for recognizing objects using tactile sensor arrays, and a method based on the quadric surface parameter for classifying grasped objects is described. Tactile arrays can recognize surface types on contact, making it possible for a tactile system to recognize translation, rotation, and scaling of an object independently. In addition, the studies showing continuous adjustment of force to stabilize gripping, particularly during motion, have been reviewed. This prehension force adjustment occurs simultaneously with, or slightly ahead of, fluctuations in load forces. They may therefore be seen as anticipatory, and it is argued here that a key purpose of research in manipulation should be to understand the integration of sensory motor information in building an internal model of the object and the effector system in order to support such anticipation.

Liver elastometry and alcohol withdrawal: Median-term follow-up in a psychiatric unit

A six-month ancillary study of a specific psychiatric cohort of alcoholic patients without known liver disease followed after withdrawal was conducted (Clinical Trial NCT01491347). Clinical and biological data and LS values were collected every two months. A total of 129 patients were included in the study, 93 had a LS assessment within the first seven days and 37 had all four LS measurements. Only seven (7.5%) patients had an initial LS > 12.1 kPa, the threshold used to define severe fibrosis. Abstinence was not associated with changes in LS at the various median-term follow-up periods. However, LS of abstinent subjects decreased significantly relative to that of non-abstinent subjects between M0 and M2. CAPTM values were not associated with abstinence. The systematical median-term follow-up of withdrawn patients does not appear to be contributory. However, LS could help to detect relapse in the first two months after withdrawal for subjects treated in a psychiatric hospital for dependence. It thus could serve as a motivation tool. Prospective studies with various and higher baseline LS values are warranted for simultaneous longitudinal assessment, including for very short- and long-term LS after withdrawal.

Although much work has been done in the field of prevention of such damages via timely prediction the work needs to be tailored to the area-specific dataset for optimum accuracy. With the time series seismic event data of Chiang Mai for 4 years, we focus our study to provide a prediction of future earthquakes here by using z-normalization and a polynomial constraint in DTW on CUDA-enabled accelerators. By comparing polynomial constraint to Sakoe-Chiba Band as well as Itakura band, we have verified our work to have reduced the percentage of computational time and improved accuracy. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a prediction accuracy of 0.95.

With Quadric surface representing; the limiting procedures which relate various degenerate Cartesian coordinate systems play a crucial result in the classification of all such systems. In this paper, the renew recognition processes are described. The space transformations are technically reducing the complicated contact surface for classification refinement. The complete classification of these modifiable coordinate systems is provided by means of the corresponding space curvature. Information is obtained directly at the interface between the object and the sensing device and relates to three-dimensional. The technique called “eigenvalue trajectory analysis”, is introduced after and adopted for specifying the margin of classification. The authors demonstrate mathematically approach which offers significant computational advantage...

The tactile system will be determined from the shape of the object image which can then be characterized using the mathematical properties of Quadric surface. This algorithm can recognize 3-D objects using a 2-fingered robot gripper, on which tactile sensors are mounted. Experiments have demonstrated the reliability of the surface classification method and the accuracy of transformations independent of an object’s shape, translation and rotation. Copyright 2007.

A predictive model has been proposed which uses a basic method adapted to real applications in grasp optimization. Prevention of premature release with minimum prehension force is addressed without the need to measure the coefficient of friction between object and robot gripper. Predictive models have been used to develop a set of rules which predict the preslip based on fluctuations in tactile signal data.
