A step towards intelligent EBSD microscopy: machine-learning prediction of twin activity in MgAZ31.

Journal of microscopy
UNLABELLED: Although microscopy is often treated as a quasi-static exercise for obtaining a snapshot of events and structure, it is clear that a more dynamic approach, involving real-time decision making for guiding the investigation process, may pro...

Automatic Robotic Steering of Flexible Needles from 3D Ultrasound Images in Phantoms and Ex Vivo Biological Tissue.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Robotic control of needle bending aims at increasing the precision of percutaneous procedures. Ultrasound feedback is preferable for its clinical ease of use, cost and compactness but raises needle detection issues. In this paper, we propose a comple...

Magnetically Coated Bioabsorbable Stents for Renormalization of Arterial Vessel Walls after Stent Implantation.

Nano letters
The insertion of a stent in diseased arteries is a common endovascular procedure that can be compromised by the development of short- and long-term inflammatory responses leading to restenosis and thrombosis, respectively. While treatment with drugs,...

Dynamical analysis and development of a biologically inspired SMA caterpillar robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
With the goal of robustly designing and fabricating a soft robot based on a caterpillar featuring shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators, analytical and numerical models for a soft robot were created based on the forward crawling motion of the Manduca se...

Feed-forward control for magnetic shape memory alloy actuators based on the radial basis function neural network model.

Journal of applied biomaterials & functional materials
Hysteresis exists in magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) actuators, which restricts MSMA actuators' application. To describe hysteresis of the MSMA actuators, a hysteresis model based on the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is put forward....

Automated Phase Mapping with AgileFD and its Application to Light Absorber Discovery in the V-Mn-Nb Oxide System.

ACS combinatorial science
Rapid construction of phase diagrams is a central tenet of combinatorial materials science with accelerated materials discovery efforts often hampered by challenges in interpreting combinatorial X-ray diffraction data sets, which we address by develo...

A starfish robot based on soft and smart modular structure (SMS) actuated by SMA wires.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper describes the design, fabrication and locomotion of a starfish robot whose locomotion principle is derived from a starfish. The starfish robot has a number of tentacles or arms extending from its central body in the form of a disk, like th...

Turtle mimetic soft robot with two swimming gaits.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents a biomimetic turtle flipper actuator consisting of a shape memory alloy composite structure for implementation in a turtle-inspired autonomous underwater vehicle. Based on the analysis of the Chelonia mydas, the flipper actuator w...

Anthropomorphic finger antagonistically actuated by SMA plates.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Most robotic applications that contain shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators use the SMA in a linear or spring shape. In contrast, a novel robotic finger was designed in this paper using SMA plates that were thermomechanically trained to take the shape ...

AI-driven optimization of spinal implant design using parametric modelling.

Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces
This study aimed to enhance vertebral implant design by using a parametric spine model and advanced simulation techniques to evaluate biomechanical behaviours under dynamic physiological conditions using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in ANSYS Workben...
