Flexible strain monitoring of hand and joint muscle movement is recognized as an effective method for the diagnosis and rehabilitation of neurological diseases such as stroke and Parkinson's disease. However, balancing high sensitivity and large stra...
The exploration of adaptive robotic systems capable of performing complex tasks in unstructured environments, such as underwater salvage operations, presents a significant challenge. Traditional rigid grippers often struggle with adaptability, wherea...
Antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin (Cfx), tetracycline (Tet) and Tobramycin (Tob) are commonly used against a broad-spectrum of bacterial infection. Recent surge in their uptake through the presence of their residues in environmental water has been linke...
This paper presents an innovative control strategy for the trajectory tracking of wheelchair upper-limb exoskeleton robots, integrating sliding mode control with a barrier function-based prescribed performance approach to handle actuator faults and e...
Wearable robots, especially those composed of soft materials, are increasingly attracting interest due to their comfort, ease of donning and doffing, and their ability to provide assistance across various applications. In wearable robotics, striking ...
Insects' flight is imbued with endless mysteries, offering valuable inspiration to the flapping-wing robots. Particularly, the multi-mode wingbeat motion such as flapping, sweeping and twisting in coordination presents advantages in promoting unstead...
: Caregivers experience high rates of occupational injuries, especially during wheelchair transfers, which often result in back pain and musculoskeletal disorders due to the physical demands of lifting and repositioning. While mechanical floor lifts,...
When designing the internals of robotic fish, variations in the internal arrangements of power and control systems cause differences in external morphological structures, particularly the positions of maximum thickness. These differences considerably...
The robotic fish utilizes a bio-inspired undulatory propulsion system to achieve high swimming performance. However, significant roll motion has been observed at the head when the tail oscillates at certain frequencies, adversely affecting both perce...
