The peristaltic in-pipe robot incorporates multiple actuators, and achieving precise cooperative control among these actuators poses significant complexity. To address these issues, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is applied to identif...
The paper deals with the reconfiguration analysis of the single-loop variable degree-of-freedom (DOF) RRRRS mechanism composed of five links connected by four revolute (R) joints and one spherical (S) joint. The mechanism may show two modes of motion...
Variable-Stiffness Actuators are continuously increasing in importance due to their characteristics that can be beneficial in various applications. It is undisputed that several one-degree-of-freedom (DoF) solutions have been developed thus far. The...
In studying planar multi-bar mechanisms with multiple degrees of freedom, mathematical modeling is undoubtedly a way to get closer to the expected trajectory. Compared with the analytical method, the optimization method has higher accuracy in solving...
For injured and after-stroke patients who temporarily lose their hand’s grasping abilities, assisting them in regaining their index finger mobility is very important in the rehabilitation process. In this paper, a finger rehabilitation device b...
This paper deals with the manipulation of micro-objects operated by a new concept multi-hinge multi-DoF (degree of freedom) microsystem. The system is composed of a planar 3-DoF microstage and of a set of one-DoF microgrippers, and it is arranged is...
This paper proposes a robust impedance controller to address the performance limitations of mechanical impedance rendering in robotic joints, enabling stable interaction with passive environments. Considering structured uncertainties, such as dynamic...
Hand−tracking systems are widely employed for telemanipulating grippers with high degrees of freedom (DOFs) such as an anthropomorphic robotic hand (ARH). However, tracking human thumb motion is challenging due to the complex motion of the carp...
As a kind of plant-specific transcription factor (TF), DNA-Binding One Zinc Finger (Dof) is widely involved in the response to environmental change, and as an evolutionarily important perennial plant species, Akebia trifoliata is ideal for studying e...
DNA binding with one finger (Dof) proteins have been proven to be involved in multiple biological processes. However, genome-wide identification of the Dof gene family has not been reported for Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum). In this study,...
DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) proteins comprise a large family that play central roles in stress tolerance by regulating the expression of stress-responsive genes via the DOFCORE element or by interacting with other regulatory proteins. Although...
