Comparison of feed-forward control strategies for simplified vertical hopping model with intrinsic muscle properties.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To analyse walking, running or hopping motions, models with high degrees of freedom are usually used. However simple reductionist models are advantageous within certain limits. In a simple manner, the hopping motion is generally modelled by a spring-...

Multifunctional Magnetic Muscles for Soft Robotics.

Nature communications
Despite recent advancements, artificial muscles have not yet been able to strike the right balance between exceptional mechanical properties and dexterous actuation abilities that are found in biological systems. Here, we present an artificial magnet...

Electrohydraulic musculoskeletal robotic leg for agile, adaptive, yet energy-efficient locomotion.

Nature communications
Robotic locomotion in unstructured terrain demands an agile, adaptive, and energy-efficient architecture. To traverse such terrains, legged robots use rigid electromagnetic motors and sensorized drivetrains to adapt to the environment actively. These...

Biomechanical simulation of segmented intrusion of a mandibular canine using Robot Orthodontic Measurement & Simulation System (ROSS).

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
OBJECTIVE: Aim of this study was to investigate the forces and moments during segmented intrusion of a mandibular canine using Cantilever-Intrusion-Springs (CIS).

A deep learning-based approach for unbiased kinematic analysis in CNS injury.

Experimental neurology
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that impacts over 300,000 individuals in the US alone. Depending on the severity of the injury, SCI can lead to varying degrees of sensorimotor deficits and paralysis. Despite advances in ...

A new modular neuroprosthesis suitable for hybrid FES-robot applications and tailored assistance.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: To overcome the application limitations of functional electrical stimulation (FES), such as fatigue or nonlinear muscle response, the combination of neuroprosthetic systems with robotic devices has been evaluated, resulting in hybrid syst...
