Synthesis, optimization and applications of ZnO/polymer nanocomposites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article Review)
Polymer composites have established an excellent position among the technologically essential materials because of their wide range of applications. An enormous research interest has been devoted to zinc oxide (ZnO) based ...
Head Impact Severity Measures for Small Social Robots Thrown During Meltdown in Autism
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
Social robots have gained a lot of attention recently as they have been reported to be effective in supporting therapeutic services for children with autism. However, children with autism may exhibit a multitude of challenging ...
Using robot animation to promote gestural skills in children with autism spectrum disorders
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
School-aged children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have delayed gestural development, in comparison with age-matched typically developing children. In this study, an intervention program taught children with ...
A Bio-Inspired Slip Detection and Reflex-Like Suppression Method for Robotic Manipulators
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Robotic manipulators face significant challenges when handling objects of different sizes and shapes. Incorporating a sense of touch into these devices has the potential to improve performance and dexterity. In this paper, ...
Attitudes of heads of education and directors of research towards the need for social robotics education in universities
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
We explored the attitudes of the Heads of Education and the Directors of Research towards the need for Social Robotics Courses in Finland. The methods consisted of a cross-sectional survey (n = 21) and data was analyzed ...
Slip suppression in prosthetic hands using a reflective optical sensor and MPI controller
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Prosthetic hands have greatly evolved in mechatronic, robotic and control aspects. However, occasional accidents might happen due to excessive grip force or the breaking of contact due to slip. Fast transient slip events ...
A Method for 3-D Printing Patient-Specific Prosthetic Arms with High Accuracy Shape and Size
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Limb amputation creates serious emotional and functional damage to the one who lost a limb. For some upper limb prosthesis users, comfort and appearance are among the desired features. The objective of this paper is to ...

Pareto-front analysis of a monotonie PI control law for slip suppression in a robotic manipulator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel slip-suppression controller for a two-fingered robotic manipulator, where the goal is to minimize the slip distance without using excessive force. To do this, we consider monotonic PI (MPI) ...
