In this paper a very lightweight artificial hand is presented that approximates the manipulation
abilities of a human hand very well. A large variety of different objects can be grasped …

The results of a survey of 54 persons with upper limb amputations who anonymously completed
a questionnaire on an Internet homepage are presented. The survey ran for four years …

Myoelectrically powered prosthetic hands lack sensory feedback relating to the force exerted
by the artificial hand on a grasped object. The degree of control is imprecise, and often …

Invertebrate biodiversity remains poorly understood although it comprises much of the
terrestrial animal biomass, most species and supplies many ecosystem services. The main …

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyse the grip force distribution for different prosthetic
hand designs and the human hand fulfilling a functional task. Method: A cylindrical object is …

This paper presents the new robotic FRH-4 hand. The FRH-4 hand constitutes a new hybrid
concept of an anthropomorphic five fingered hand and a three jaw robotic gripper. The hand …

Accurate quantification of heartbeats in fish models is an important readout to study cardiovascular
biology, disease states and pharmacology. However, dependence on anaesthesia, …

The third generation of the FLUIDHAND is an updated version of the previous models
containing enhanced functionality, cosmesis, enable secure, and adaptive grasping while …

A fully automatic detection and analysis method of heartbeats in videos of nonfixed and
nonanesthetized zebrafish embryos is presented. This method reduces the manual workload …

This article will present a powerful miniaturised hydraulic system of compact design that is
used for the actuation of artificial hands. This system was developed as an alternative to …
