The SSSA-MyHand: A Dexterous Lightweight Myoelectric Hand Prosthesis.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Jun 9, 2016
The replacement of a missing hand by a prosthesis is one of the most fascinating challenges in rehabilitation engineering. State of art prostheses are curtailed by the physical features of the hand, like poor functionality and excessive weight. Here ...
Effect of actuating cell source on locomotion of organic living machines with electrocompacted collagen skeleton.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 9, 2016
In robotics, there is a need for small scale, compliant actuators for use in medical applications or minimally invasive environmental monitoring. Biohybrid devices offer one solution to this need by using muscle cells to actuate compliant scaffolds. ...
Turtle mimetic soft robot with two swimming gaits.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 4, 2016
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...
Bio-inspired flexible joints with passive feathering for robotic fish pectoral fins.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 4, 2016
In this paper a novel flexible joint is proposed for robotic fish pectoral fins, which enables a swimming behavior emulating the fin motions of many aquatic animals. In particular, the pectoral fin operates primarily in the rowing mode, while undergo...
Softworms: the design and control of non-pneumatic, 3D-printed, deformable robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Mar 10, 2016
Robots that can easily interact with humans and move through natural environments are becoming increasingly essential as assistive devices in the home, office and hospital. These machines need to be safe, effective, and easy to control. One strategy ...
Bioinspired roft robotics: preface to the special issue.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Mar 10, 2016
Structured light enables biomimetic swimming and versatile locomotion of photoresponsive soft microrobots.
Nature materials
Feb 15, 2016
Microorganisms move in challenging environments by periodic changes in body shape. In contrast, current artificial microrobots cannot actively deform, exhibiting at best passive bending under external fields. Here, by taking advantage of the wireless...
Synaptic Metaplasticity Realized in Oxide Memristive Devices.
Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Nov 17, 2015
Metaplasticity, a higher order of synaptic plasticity, as well as a key issue in neuroscience, is realized with artificial synapses based on a WO3 thin film, and the activity-dependent metaplastic responses of the artificial synapses, such as spike-t...
3D printing antagonistic systems of artificial muscle using projection stereolithography.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 9, 2015
The detailed mechanical design of a digital mask projection stereolithgraphy system is described for the 3D printing of soft actuators. A commercially available, photopolymerizable elastomeric material is identified and characterized in its liquid an...
Development of a self-healing soft pneumatic actuator: a first concept.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 7, 2015
Inspired by the intrinsic softness and the corresponding embodied intelligence principles, soft pneumatic actuators (SPA) have been developed, which ensure safe interaction in unstructured, unknown environments. Due to their intrinsic softness, these...
