“Following according to a rule is FUNDAMENTAL to our language-game.” Rules and meaning in Wittgenstein by Child, W

“…There is widespread agreement that, in his later philosophy, Wittgenstein sees the meaning of a word as a matter of the rules for its use; to grasp its meaning is to grasp the rules for its use; and using the word with that meaning is a matter of following those rules. …”

Kinematic analysis of an upper extremity stroke rehabilitation orthosis by Yang, Fang

“…Using this method, the designer could predict the motion of the hand and thus gain better control over the system. Cylindrical grasp is used as an example. This method also has some deficiencies, due to lack of the actual hand anatomy data for Singapore’s stroke patient, especially the joint angle of each finger bone, some assumptions and estimations are made. …”

Biomechanical model of index finger by Fok, Kim Seng.

“…The model had been verified by means of three simulations: flexion-extension ofjoints, pinch grip and power grasp. The simulation also demonstrated the relevance of modelling passive forces generated by structures such as ligaments and soft tissues in order to accurately reproduce the force patterns of the finger seen during movement and static manipulative postures. …”

Tac2Pose: Tactile object pose estimation from the first touch by Bauza, Maria, Bronars, Antonia, Rodriguez, Alberto

“…This suggests synergistic use of Tac2Pose with additional sensing modalities (e.g., vision) even in cases where the tactile observation from a grasp is not sufficiently discriminative. Given a coarse estimate of an object’s pose, even ambiguous contacts can be used to determine an object’s pose precisely. …”
