A springtail-inspired multimodal walking-jumping microrobot.

Science robotics
Although legged robots have demonstrated effective mobility in some natural settings, as robot size decreases, obstacles in their environment become challenging to overcome. Small arthropods scale obstacles many times their size through jumps powered...

Wearable robot provides lumbar and arm support.

Science robotics
Exosuit with two-stage mechanism transmits force from a single motor to multiple muscle groups during manual handling tasks.

Constitutive neural networks for main pulmonary arteries: discovering the undiscovered.

Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology
Accurate modeling of cardiovascular tissues is crucial for understanding and predicting their behavior in various physiological and pathological conditions. In this study, we specifically focus on the pulmonary artery in the context of the Ross proce...

A strictly predefined-time convergent and anti-noise fractional-order zeroing neural network for solving time-variant quadratic programming in kinematic robot control.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
This paper proposes a strictly predefined-time convergent and anti-noise fractional-order zeroing neural network (SPTC-AN-FOZNN) model, meticulously designed for addressing time-variant quadratic programming (TVQP) problems. This model marks the firs...

Investigation of Trajectory Tracking Control in Hip Joints of Lower-Limb Exoskeletons Using SSA-Fuzzy PID Optimization.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The application of lower-limb exoskeleton robots in rehabilitation is becoming more prevalent, where the precision of control and the speed of response are essential for effective movement tracking. This study tackles the challenge of optimizing both...

Sliding-Window CNN + Channel-Time Attention Transformer Network Trained with Inertial Measurement Units and Surface Electromyography Data for the Prediction of Muscle Activation and Motion Dynamics Leveraging IMU-Only Wearables for Home-Based Shoulder Rehabilitation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are widely utilized in shoulder rehabilitation due to their portability and cost-effectiveness, but their reliance on spatial motion data restricts their use in comprehensive musculoskeletal analyses. To overcome thi...

Upstroke wing clapping in bats and bat-inspired robots offers efficient lift generation.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Wing articulation is critical for the efficient flight of bird- and bat-sized animals. Inspired by the flight of , the lesser short-nosed fruit bat, we built a two-degree-of-freedom flapping wing platform with variable wing folding capability. In the...

Optimal design of a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm for activities of daily living.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The increasing prevalence of upper limb dysfunctions due to stroke, spinal cord injuries, and multiple sclerosis presents a critical challenge in assistive technology: designing robotic arms that are both energy‑efficient and capable of effe...

Emergency Position Recovery Using Forward Kinematics in Robotic Patient Positioning Systems for Radiosurgery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Precise patient positioning is paramount in radiosurgery to ensure the accurate targeting of tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This study focuses on the development and validation of a robust forward kinematics (FK) model...

Locomotion design of transverse ledge brachiation robot with active wrist joint for lateral posture compensation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A transverse ledge brachiation robot is designed to move transversely along a ledge on a vertical wall by generating energy from the swinging motion of its lower limbs. This method reduces the force required by the upper limbs to propel the robot for...
