Additive Manufacturing for Self-Healing Soft Robots.

Soft robotics
The field of self-healing soft robots was initiated a few years ago. A healing ability can be integrated in soft robots by manufacturing their soft membranes out of synthetic self-healing polymers, more specifically elastomeric Diels-Alder (DA) netwo...

A novel machine learning based computational framework for homogenization of heterogeneous soft materials: application to liver tissue.

Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology
Real-time simulation of organs increases comfort and safety for patients during the surgery. Proper generalized decomposition (PGD) is an efficient numerical method with coordinate errors below 1 mm and response time below 0.1 s that can be used for ...

A soft continuum robot, with a large variable-stiffness range, based on jamming.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the physiological structure of the hand capable of realizing the continuous change in finger stiffness when grasping objects of different masses, a self-locking soft continuum robot with a large variable-stiffness range based on particle ...

Engineering approaches for characterizing soft tissue mechanical properties: A review.

Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon)
From cancer diagnosis to detailed characterization of arterial wall biomechanics, the elastic property of tissues is widely studied as an early sign of disease onset. The fibrous structural features of tissues are a direct measure of its health and f...

Using machine learning to characterize heart failure across the scales.

Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology
Heart failure is a progressive chronic condition in which the heart undergoes detrimental changes in structure and function across multiple scales in time and space. Multiscale models of cardiac growth can provide a patient-specific window into the p...

Deep Neural Architectures for Highly Imbalanced Data in Bioinformatics.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
In the postgenome era, many problems in bioinformatics have arisen due to the generation of large amounts of imbalanced data. In particular, the computational classification of precursor microRNA (pre-miRNA) involves a high imbalance in the classes. ...

Elasticity Versus Hyperelasticity Considerations in Quasistatic Modeling of a Soft Finger-Like Robotic Appendage for Real-Time Position and Force Estimation.

Soft robotics
Various methods based on hyperelastic assumptions have been developed to address the mathematical complexities of modeling motion and deformation of continuum manipulators. In this study, we propose a quasistatic approach for 3D modeling and real-tim...

Assessment of the stability of citrate-buffered flucloxacillin for injection when stored in two commercially available ambulatory elastomeric devices: INfusor LV (Baxter) and Accufuser (Woo Young Medical): a study compliant with the NHS Yellow Cover Document (YCD) requirements.

European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of pH and buffers on the degradation rate of flucloxacillin and to determine if flucloxacillin can be stabilised using a buffered diluent for up to 14 days when stored at 2°C-8°C including a 24-hour infusion peri...

Machine learning-aided exploration of relationship between strength and elastic properties in ascending thoracic aneurysm.

International journal for numerical methods in biomedical engineering
Machine learning was applied to classify tension-strain curves harvested from inflation tests on ascending thoracic aneurysm samples. The curves were classified into rupture and nonrupture groups using prerupture response features. Two groups of feat...

Spine morphology and energetics: how principles from nature apply to robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the locomotive advantages that an articulated spine enables in quadrupedal animals, we explore and quantify the energetic effect that an articulated spine has in legged robots. We compare two model instances of a conceptual planar quadrup...
