Abstract: Torque control of small-scale robotic devices such as hand exoskeletons is challenging due to the unavailability of miniature and compact bidirectional torque actuators. In this work, we present a miniature Bowden-cable-based ...

Abstract: Many robotic applications need an accurate, robust, and fast estimation of finger pose. We present a novel finger pose estimation method using a motion capture system. The method combines a system identification stage and ...

Abstract: A number of robotic exoskeletons are being developed to provide rehabilitation interventions for those with movement disabilities. We present a systematic framework that allows for virtual prototyping (i.e., design, control, ...

Abstract: The objective of the present study was the biosynthesis of nonhazardous and cost-effective silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using plant extracts of Azadirachta indica (neem), for the removal of hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] ...

Abstract: The present study investigates electro-osmotically modulated peristaltic transport of third-grade fluid through a microtube taking into consideration the intricate coupling of zeta potential and hydrodynamic slippage. The ...

Abstract: A significant amount of hydrogen may be released inside the containment of water-cooled nuclear power reactor under postulated accident conditions. Its distribution in the multicompartment containment geometry must be known ...
