Development and characterization of muscle-based actuators for self-stabilizing swimming biorobots.

Lab on a chip
Biorobots that harness the power generated by living muscle cells have recently gained interest as an alternative to traditional mechanical robots. However, robust and reliable operation of these biorobots still remains a challenge. Toward this end, ...

Effect of actuating cell source on locomotion of organic living machines with electrocompacted collagen skeleton.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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. ...

The influence of push-off timing in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis on the energetics and mechanics of walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic ankle-foot prostheses that provide net positive push-off work can reduce the metabolic rate of walking for individuals with amputation, but benefits might be sensitive to push-off timing. Simple walking models suggest that preempt...

Silk Fibroin-Based Biomemristors for Bionic Artificial Intelligence Robot Applications.

ACS nano
In the emerging fields of flexible electronics and bioelectronics, protein-based materials have attracted widespread attention due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and processability. Among these materials, silk fibroin (SF), a protein de...

[Independent innovation research, development and transformation of precise bionic repair technology for oral prosthesis].

Beijing da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Peking University. Health sciences
According to the fourth national oral health epidemiological survey report (2018), billions of teeth are lost or missing in China, inducing chewing dysfunction, which is necessary to build physiological function using restorations. Digital technology...

A 3-DOF Bionic Waist Joint for Humanoid Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this study, a 3 degree-of-freedom bionic waist joint was developed with coupled tendon-driven mechanism. This bionic waist joint can not only ensure the safety of the human-robot interface, but also increase the load capacity without increasing th...

[Biomedical applications of bionic untethered micro-nano robots].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Bionic untethered micro-nano robots, due to their advantages of small size, low weight, large thrust-to-weight ratio, strong wireless mobility, high flexibility and high sensitivity, have very important application values in the fields of biomedicine...

Preliminary statistical assessment towards characterization of biobotic control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Biobotic research involving neurostimulation of instrumented insects to control their locomotion is finding potential as an alternative solution towards development of centimeter-scale distributed swarm robotics. To improve the reliability of bioboti...
