Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Three potential problems exist in multifingered hands. The impact forces that result during each instant of grasping a rigid object can affect the functioning of the finger tip sensor. A hand with hard fingers cannot securely grasp objects that have uneven surfaces due to the poor conformability of the fingers. Repetitive strains are induced into the fingers throughout manipulation task. Carefully chosen materials-plastic, rubber sponge, a fine powder, a paste, and a gel-were experimentally compared for their ability to overcome these three problems. Results showed that sponge is the most suitable and plastic is the least suitable for the application. For practical reasons, however, the gel was a good compromise over the sponge. It is recommended that future robotic hands constitute a soft finger or at least fingers with soft tips, constructed out of carefully chosen materials.>

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
