The development of robotic grippers is driven by the need to execute particular manual tasks or meet specific objectives in handling operations. Grippers with specific functions vary from being small, accurate, and highly controllable, such as the surgical tool effectors of the Da Vinci robot (designed to be used as noninvasive grippers controlled by a human operator during keyhole surgeries), to larger, highly controllable grippers like the Shadow Dexterous Hand (designed to recreate the hand motions of a human). Additionally, there are less finely controllable grippers, such as the iRobot-Harvard-Yale (iHY) Hand or iRobot-Harvard-Yale (IIT)-Pisa SoftHand, which, instead, leverage natural motions during grasping via designs inspired by observed biomechanical systems. As robotic systems become more autonomous and widely used, it is becoming increasingly important to consider the design, form, and function of robotic grippers.

Natural barriers necessitate technological support. A user-adaptive verbal calculator (UAVC) is an attempt to let differently abled students and researchers perform calculations with their voices. Automatic speech recognition in real-time mode is used. The UAVC adapts to users’ accents by retraining the speech models with the initial data obtained during usage.

Advancements in implantable medical devices have created the need for more robust continuous data transmission abilities. Implantable medical device wireless data transmission within a health-care setting is beneficial, as it has the potential to increase safety, broaden independence, and increase mobility for patients. Minimizing the need for an individual to be tethered to electrical equipment restores movement, improves the quality of life for him or her, and may reduce the safety risk profile.

The 5G New Radio (NR) technology is under a standardization process by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project to provide an outline for a new radio interface for the next generation of cellular networks. The aims of 5G networks include not only providing greater capacity and coverage but also supporting advanced services, such as enhanced mobile broadband, ultrareliable low-latency communication (URLLC), and massive machine type communication.
