Stanford researchers at the Okamura Lab have prototyped a computerized "pillow" that fits in the hand and uses air pressure to measure involuntary grip force (spastic hypertonia).
Stanford engineers at Zhenan Bao's laboratory have designed a compliance sensor which can identify softness (compliance) of touched objects and provide human-like sensation to robots and prosthetics.
Stanford researchers have designed a non-invasive, low power ultrasonic neuromodulation device which can target tissue deep in the brain with high spatial-temporal resolution.
Stanford researchers in the Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab have patented a low cost, high performance multi-axis capacitive tactile sensor that measures all six components of force and torque.
Stanford researchers have developed a new machine learning method for extracting gait parameters, such as cadence, step length, peak knee flexion, and Gait Deviation Index (GDI), from a single video.
Stanford researchers at the Bao Lab have designed and fabricated a highly stretchable, tough, and self-healable material with high fatigue resistance applicable for electronic (e-) skin devices.
Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have developed capacitive tactile sensors used to detect static and dynamic forces with varying magnitudes and directions.
Stanford researchers have patented an automated method for generating articulated human models consisting of both morphological and kinematic model data.
Stanford researchers have patented a data-driven method for building a human shape model that spans variation in both subject shape and pose. The method is based on a representation that incorporates both articulated and non-rigid deformations.
Stanford researchers have developed a highly conductive, stretchable polymer that is durable enough for wearable electronics. To improve flexibility they doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)with ionic liquid plasticizer.
Engineers in Prof. Mark Cutkosky's laboratory have developed a gentle gripper device that can conform to, grasp, and lift a wide range of objects using an air bladder enhanced with gecko-inspired shear adhesion.
