Grasp Prediction based on Local Finger Motion Dynamics
The ability to predict the object the user intends to grasp offers essential contextual information and may help to leverage the effects of point-to-point latency in interactive environments. This paper explores the feasibility and accuracy of real-time recognition of uninstrumented objects based on hand kinematics during reach-to-grasp actions. In a data collection study, we recorded the hand motions of 16 participants while reaching out to grasp and then moving real and synthetic objects. Our…

FiDTouch: A 3D Wearable Haptic Display for the Finger Pad
The applications of fingertip haptic devices have spread to various fields from revolutionizing virtual reality and medical training simulations to facilitating remote robotic operations, proposing great potential for enhancing user experiences, improving training outcomes, and new forms of interaction. In this work, we present FiDTouch, a 3D wearable haptic device that delivers cutaneous stimuli to the finger pad, such as contact, pressure, encounter, skin stretch, and vibrotactile feedback. T…

Vib2Move: In-Hand Object Reconfiguration via Fingertip Micro-Vibrations
We introduce Vib2Move, a novel approach for in-hand object reconfiguration that uses fingertip micro-vibrations and gravity to precisely reposition planar objects. Our framework comprises three key innovations. First, we design a vibration-based actuator that dynamically modulates the effective finger-object friction coefficient, effectively emulating changes in gripping force. Second, we derive a sliding motion model for objects clamped in a parallel gripper with two symmetric, variable-fricti…

Regional, Lattice and Logical Representations of Neural Networks
A possible path to the interpretability of neural networks is to (approximately) represent them in the regional format of piecewise linear functions, where regions of inputs are associated to linear functions computing the network outputs. We present an algorithm for the translation of feedforward neural networks with ReLU activation functions in hidden layers and truncated identity activation functions in the output layer. We also empirically investigate the complexity of regional representati…

On the oscillatory dynamics of a Saffman--Taylor finger with a bubble at its tip
The complex behaviour of air-liquid interfaces driven into Hele-Shaw channels at high speeds could arise from oscillatory dynamics; yet, both the physical and dynamical mechanisms that lead to interfacial oscillations remain unclear. We extend the experiments by Couder \textit{et. al.} (\textit{Phys. Rev. A}, vol. 34, 1986, p. 5175) to present a systematic investigation of the dynamics that result when a small air bubble is placed at the tip of a steadily propagating air finger in a Hele-Shaw…

Volumetric segmentation of muscle compartments using in vivo imaging and architectural validation in human finger flexors
Segmenting muscle compartments and measuring their architecture can facilitate movement function assessment, accurate musculoskeletal modeling, and synergy-based electromyogram simulation. Here, we presented a novel method for volumetric segmentation of muscle compartments using in vivo imaging, focusing on the independent compartments for finger control of flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS). Besides, we measured the architectural properties of FDS compartments and validated the segmentation.…

When was the first middle-finger used to denote contempt in a (mainstream) film? I don't know but there is an instance of it in Sergio Leone's 1971 Giù la testa (Duck, You Sucker / A Fistful of Dynamite).
This was perpetrated by Rod Steiger. In this film he and James Coburn also make a solid case that Keanu Reeves' accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula was not even close to being the worst in film history.
