Between 1 and 4 September 2024, the 10th IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics held in Heidelberg, Germany. This conference aims to highlight the theoretical and practical challenges linked with the integration of robotics and mechatronics into medicine and biology.
In particular, our colleague Robinson Guachi from Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna participated with the paper “ππππ‘ππ§π’πππ₯ ππ§πππ π«πππ’π¨π§ π¨π π πππ§π¬π¨π«π’π³ππ ππ€π’π§ π’π§ ππ§ ππ§ππ‘π«π¨π©π¨π¦π¨π«π©π‘π’π πππ§π: πππ¬π’π π§ π©π’π©ππ₯π’π§π ππ§π πππ¬ππ¬”. Here the summary of such an amazing presentation:
Human ability to manipulate and grasp objects relies heavily on tactile information from the skin, which the brain uses to guide motor actions. With advancements in neuroprosthetics, there is growing interest in integrating advanced tactile sensors into prosthetic hands. The paper presented during the conference, supported by the European B-Cratos project, proposes a systematic approach for designing and integrating triboelectric-based electronic skin (e-skin) into a prosthetic hand. It outlines the identification of technical requirements, material selection for soft skin, and optimization of sensor placement on the finger.Β Β
