Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent, debilitating chronic joint disease characterized by pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. Non-pharmacological rehabilitation is a fundamental management strategy. This narrative review synthesizes evid...
The overall goal of this study was to develop a computational framework to quantify hip, knee, and ankle joint forces during exoskeletal-assisted walking (EAW) in the ReWalk P6.0, an FDA-approved lower-extremity exoskeleton. The first objective was t...
The assembly of pyrotechnic grain demands high precision and stability in robotic arm motion control due to the small shell apertures and stringent assembly accuracy requirements. Inverse kinematics is a core technology in robotic arm motion control....
ripple bugs use specialized middle-leg fans with a flat-ribbon architecture to navigate the surfaces of fast-moving streams. We show that the fan's directional stiffness enables fast, passive elastocapillary morphing, independent of muscle input. Th...
Aquatic ecosystems vital to biodiversity and climate change-such as coral reefs, kelp forests, and mangrove forests-are often cluttered with natural obstacles. To navigate these complex habitats, fish have evolved relatively small body sizes and outs...
Humans use diverse skills and strategies to effectively manipulate various objects, ranging from dexterous in-hand manipulation (fine motor skills) to complex whole-body manipulation (gross motor skills). The latter involves full-body engagement and ...
Single-mode biophysical fingerprints have specific overlap when cell heterogeneity is analyzed. The cross-sensitivity between these parameters results in significant fuzzy intervals in cell phenotype classification based on one-dimensional features, ...
This paper presents the design and fabrication of a compact underdriven bionic frog robot, which is inspired by the locomotion stance of a frog. The robot's hind legs were ingeniously built using an underdriven associative 8-bar linkage mechanism wit...
Calculating instantaneous centers of rotation to describe combined rotational and translational motions has a long history in many fields of applied science and basic rigid body kinematics. However, only some theoretical studies have explored the fun...
