Elasticity imaging using physics-informed neural networks: Spatial discovery of elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio.

Acta biomaterialia
Elasticity imaging is a technique that discovers the spatial distribution of mechanical properties of tissue using deformation and force measurements under various loading conditions. Given the complexity of this discovery, most existing methods appr...

Machine learning method for extracting elastic modulus of cells.

Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology
The Hertz contact mechanics model is commonly used to extract the elastic modulus of the cell, but the basic assumptions of the model are often not met in cell indentation experiments, which can lead to errors in the obtained elastic modulus of cell....

Automated estimation of cancer cell deformability with machine learning and acoustic trapping.

Scientific reports
Cell deformability is a useful feature for diagnosing various diseases (e.g., the invasiveness of cancer cells). Existing methods commonly inflict pressure on cells and observe changes in cell areas, diameters, or thickness according to the degree of...

Nondestructive Dimension Sorting by Soft Robotic Grippers Integrated with Triboelectric Sensor.

ACS nano
In smart logistics, traditional manual sorting and sorting systems based on rigid manipulators limit the warehousing development and damage the goods. Here, a nondestructive sorting method based on bionic soft fingers is proposed. This method is impl...

A Cylindrical Grip Type of Tactile Device Using Magneto-Responsive Materials Integrated with Surgical Robot Console: Design and Analysis.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper proposes a cylindrical grip type of tactile device that is effectively integrated to a surgical robot console so that a surgeon can easily touch and feel the same stiffness as the operating organs. This is possible since the yield stress (...

Design and Control of a Series-Parallel Elastic Actuator for a Weight-Bearing Exoskeleton Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Weight-bearing exoskeletons are robots that need to carry loads and interact with humans frequently. Therefore, the actuators of these exoskeletons are supposed to be capable of outputting sufficient force with high compliance and little weight. A se...

Vital signal sensing and manipulation of a microscale organ with a multifunctional soft gripper.

Science robotics
Soft grippers that incorporate functional materials are important in the development of mechanically compliant and multifunctional interfaces for both sensing and stimulating soft objects and organisms. In particular, the capability for firm and deli...

Left-Handed or Right-Handed? Determinants of the Chirality of Helically Deformable Soft Actuators.

Soft robotics
Helical curling and spiral structure are very common in nature, which inspire researchers to create various forms of helical configurations and actuators. The helically deformable actuators perform asymmetric deformations and show different chirality...

Paper-Based Robotics with Stackable Pneumatic Actuators.

Soft robotics
This work presents a unique approach to the design, fabrication, and characterization of paper-based origami robotic systems consisting of stackable pneumatic actuators. These paper-based actuators (PBAs) use materials with high elastic modulus-to-ma...

A Novel Biomimetic Compliant Structural Skin Based on Composite Materials for Biorobotics Applications.

Soft robotics
Biorobotics is increasingly attracting engineers worldwide, due to the high impact this field can have on the society. Biorobotics aims at imitating or taking inspiration from mechanisms and strategies evolved by animals, including their locomotion a...
