Millions of years of evolution have allowed animals to develop unusual locomotion capabilities. A striking example is the legless-jumping of click beetles and trap-jaw ants, which jump more than 10 times their body length. Their delicate musculoskele...
BACKGROUND: The knee adduction moment, a biomechanical risk factor of knee osteoarthritis, is typically measured in a gait laboratory with expensive equipment and inverse dynamics modeling software. We aimed to develop a framework for a portable knee...
Flight control such as stable hovering and trajectory tracking of tailless flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles is a challenging task. Given the constraint on actuation capability, flight control authority is limited beyond sufficient lift generation....
To assess pathological gaits quantitatively, three-dimensional coordinates estimated with a deep learning model were converted into body axis plane projections. First, 15 healthy volunteers performed four gait patterns; that is, normal, shuffling, sh...

PURPOSE: Continuum robots (CRs) have been developed for maxillary sinus surgery (MSS) in recent years. However, due to the anatomically curved and narrow pathway of the maxillary sinus and the deformable characteristics of the CR, it is still a chall...
