Recreating complex structures and functions of natural organisms in a synthetic form is a long-standing goal for humanity. The aim is to create actuated systems with high spatial resolutions and complex material arrangements that range from elastic t...
Flexible wearable pressure sensors have received increasing attention as the potential application of flexible wearable devices in human health monitoring and artificial intelligence. However, the complex and expensive process of the conductive fille...
Cell recognition methods are in high demand in cell biology and medicine, and the method based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows a great value in application. The difference in mechanical properties or morphology of cells has been frequently use...
Elastography is a medical imaging technique used to measure the elasticity of tissues by comparing ultrasound signals before and after a light compression. The lateral resolution of ultrasound is much inferior to the axial resolution. Current elastog...
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...

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....
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...
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...
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 (...
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...
