Anthropomorphic finger antagonistically actuated by SMA plates.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Most robotic applications that contain shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators use the SMA in a linear or spring shape. In contrast, a novel robotic finger was designed in this paper using SMA plates that were thermomechanically trained to take the shape ...

Characterization of running with compliant curved legs.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Running with compliant curved legs involves the progression of the center of pressure, the changes of both the leg's stiffness and effective rest length, and the shift of the location of the maximum stress point along the leg. These phenomena are pro...

Predicting propulsive forces using distributed sensors in a compliant, high DOF, robotic fin.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Engineered robotic fins have adapted principles of propulsion from bony-finned fish, using spatially-varying compliance and complex kinematics to produce and control the fin's propulsive force through time. While methods of force production are well ...

Measuring information transfer in a soft robotic arm.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Soft robots can exhibit diverse behaviors with simple types of actuation by partially outsourcing control to the morphological and material properties of their soft bodies, which is made possible by the tight coupling between control, body, and envir...

Time-Varying Ankle Mechanical Impedance During Human Locomotion.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In human locomotion, we continuously modulate joint mechanical impedance of the lower limb (hip, knee, and ankle) either voluntarily or reflexively to accommodate environmental changes and maintain stable interaction. Ankle mechanical impedance plays...

AI-driven optimization of spinal implant design using parametric modelling.

Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces
This study aimed to enhance vertebral implant design by using a parametric spine model and advanced simulation techniques to evaluate biomechanical behaviours under dynamic physiological conditions using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in ANSYS Workben...

Comprehensive Prediction of the Relative Modulus of Strut-Based Gyroid Lattice Structures Employing an ML-Based Surrogate Model.

Journal of biomedical materials research. Part B, Applied biomaterials
Due to its porous structure, tunable properties, and nearly isotropic characteristics, the Gyroid Lattice Structure (GLS) is widely utilized in orthopedic implant applications. To effectively reduce stress shielding and enhance implant longevity, it ...

Mechanically Matched Heart-on-a-Chip Platform Mediated Maturation of Excitation-Contraction Coupling.

ACS nano
Heart-on-a-chip (HOC) platforms play a pivotal role in cardiac research, yet existing models suffer from mechanical mismatch between the soft myocardial tissue, sensors, and substrate, leading to impaired myocardial function and compromised data capt...

[Reconstruction of elasticity modulus distribution base on semi-supervised neural network].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Accurate reconstruction of tissue elasticity modulus distribution has always been an important challenge in ultrasound elastography. Considering that existing deep learning-based supervised reconstruction methods only use simulated displacement data ...

Soft magnetic skin for super-resolution tactile sensing with force self-decoupling.

Science robotics
Human skin can sense subtle changes of both normal and shear forces (i.e., self-decoupled) and perceive stimuli with finer resolution than the average spacing between mechanoreceptors (i.e., super-resolved). By contrast, existing tactile sensors for ...
