Soft Touch using Soft Pneumatic Actuator-Skin as a Wearable Haptic Feedback Device
Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar, Jian-Lin Huang
Understanding the external environment depends heavily on vision, audition, and touch. Like vision and audition, the human sense of touch is complex. Tactile perception is composed of multiple fundamental and physical experiences felt as changes in stiffne ...
WILEY2021Improving robotic cooking using batch bayesian optimization
Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kai Christian Junge
With advances in the field of robotic manipulation, sensing and machine learning, robotic chefs are expected to become prevalent in our kitchens and restaurants. Robotic chefs are envisioned to replicate human skills in order to reduce the burden of the co ...
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.2020Adsorption Free Energy of Single Amino Acids at the Rutile (110)/Water Interface Studied by Well-Tempered Metadynamics
Single amino acids are present in blood plasma and are the building blocks of larger organic residues. Their interaction with surfaces is therefore crucial for biomedical applications in contact with blood. In this work, we use well-tempered metadynamics t ...
2018The gram-negative sensing receptor PGRP-LC contributes to grooming induction in Drosophila
Behavioral resistance protects insects from microbial infection. However, signals inducing insect hygiene behavior are still relatively unexplored. Our previous study demonstrated that olfactory signals from microbes enhance insect hygiene behavior, and gu ...
Public Library of Science2017Restoring Natural Sensory Feedback in Real-Time Bidirectional Hand Prostheses
Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Jacopo Rigosa, Marco Bonizzato
Hand loss is a highly disabling event that markedly affects the quality of life. To achieve a close to natural replacement for the lost hand, the user should be provided with the rich sensations that we naturally perceive when grasping or manipulating an o ...
American Association for the Advancement of Science2014Semisynthetic Fluorescent Sensor Proteins Based on Self-Labeling Protein Tags
Genetically encoded fluorescent sensor proteins offer the possibility to probe the concentration of key metabolites in living cells. The approaches currently used to generate such fluorescent sensor proteins lack generality, as they require a protein that ...
EPFL2011Sensory Attributes of Complex Tasting Divalent Salts Are Mediated by TRPM5 and TRPV1 Channels
Complex tasting divalent salts (CTDS) are present in our daily diet, contributing to multiple poorly understood taste sensations. CTDS evoking metallic, bitter, salty, and astringent sensations include the divalent salts of iron, zinc, copper, and magnesiu ...
Society for Neuroscience2009Role and mechanism of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in gustatory and chemesthetic sensations associated with dietary molecules
"Chemosensory perception", the perception of food chemicals, relies on the complex cooperation of gustatory, olfactory and somatosensory detection systems. In the oral cavity, the taste buds and the lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve are the organs tha ...
