Humans are Well Tuned to Detecting Agents Among Non-agents: Examining the Sensitivity of Human Perception to Behavioral Characteristics of Intentional Systems
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
For efficient social interactions, humans have developed means to predict and understand others' behavior often with reference to intentions and desires. To infer others' intentions, however, one must assume that the other ...
Preface: When Robots Engage Humans
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2014 , Article)
Nanostructure ZnFe2O4 with Bacillus subtilis for Detection of LPG at Low Temperature
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
The present study deals with the development of a chemical sensor for the detection of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) at a low operating temperature using Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4)/Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) hybrid ...
Graphene-filled PDMS Composite for Tactile Sensing of Surgical Graspers
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
For tactile sensors to become useful technology, the required features should be flexibility, durability, and its sensitivity to physical contact. Conductive elastomer nanocomposites are widely used in fabricating a variety ...
Design and analysis of flexible joints for a robust 3d printed prosthetic hand
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
In war-affected regions in the world, limb loss is one of the leading injuries. The need for low-cost, low-maintenance prostheses arises. The rapid developments in 3D printing allows us to investigate robotic or prosthetic ...
A Fast Responsive Ultraviolet Sensor from mSILAR-Processed Sn-ZnO
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Microwave-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction was employed to synthesize Sn-ZnO (tin-doped zinc oxide), and its sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation is compared with zinc oxide (ZnO). The sensing films ...
Recovery behavior of artificial skin materials after object contact
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
As social robots and lifelike prosthetics get into closer contact with humans, understanding the mechanical behavior of the embedding skin materials for prosthetic and social robotic fingertips is of great importance. The ...
Microtron Irradiation Induced Tuning of Band Gap and Photoresponse of Al-ZnO Thin Films Synthesized by mSILAR
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Al-doped polycrystalline nano ZnO (Al-ZnO) thin films with different doping concentrations were successfully prepared by the microwave-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (mSILAR) technique. The structural ...
Microton irradiation induced tuning of dielectric properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber disks
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of electron beam irradiation of dielectric and conductivity properties of nano ZnO-natural rubber (NR) disks was investigated here. It is revealed that electric properties such as AC conductivity, dielectric ...
Towards enhanced control of upper prosthetic limbs: A force-myographic approach
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Reliable decoding of a user's intention is a key step to control prosthetic devices. Force myography (FMG) is often used to assess topographic force patterns resulting from volumetric changes of activated muscles. However, ...
