Enhancing stroke rehabilitation with whole-hand haptic rendering: development and clinical usability evaluation of a novel upper-limb rehabilitation device.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION: There is currently a lack of easy-to-use and effective robotic devices for upper-limb rehabilitation after stroke. Importantly, most current systems lack the provision of somatosensory information that is congruent with the virtual trai...

Taking control: Steering the future of biohybrid robots.

Science robotics
Innovations in control mechanisms for muscle-powered robots are advancing the sophistication of biohybrid machines.

Float like a butterfly, swim like a biohybrid neuromuscular robot.

Science robotics
A butterfly-like robot swims using an electronic device to stimulate human-derived motor neurons and cardiac muscle cells.

Wirelessly steerable bioelectronic neuromuscular robots adapting neurocardiac junctions.

Science robotics
Biological motions of native muscle tissues rely on the nervous system to interface movement with the surrounding environment. The neural innervation of muscles, crucial for regulating movement, is the fundamental infrastructure for swiftly respondin...

Magnetically Actuated Soft Microrobot with Environmental Adaptative Multimodal Locomotion Towards Targeted Delivery.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
The development of environmentally adaptive solutions for magnetically actuated microrobots to enable targeted delivery in complex and confined fluid environments presents a significant challenge. Inspired by the natural locomotion of crucian carp, a...

Modelling human postural stability and muscle activation augmented by a supernumerary robotic tail.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Wearable robots have promising characteristics for human augmentation; however, the the design and specification stage needs to consider biomechanical impact. In this work, musculoskeletal software is used to assess the biomechanical implications of ...

Highly Sensitive Perovskite Photoplethysmography Sensor for Blood Glucose Sensing Using Machine Learning Techniques.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Accurate non-invasive monitoring of blood glucose (BG) is a challenging issue in the therapy of diabetes. Here near-infrared (NIR) photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor based on a vapor-deposited mixed tin-lead hybrid perovskite photodetector is develope...

Intelligent Song Recognition via a Hollow-Microstructure-Based, Ultrasensitive Artificial Eardrum.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Artificial ears with intelligence, which can sensitively detect sound-a variant of pressure-and generate consciousness and logical decision-making abilities, hold great promise to transform life. However, despite the emerging flexible sensors for sou...

Encoding spatiotemporal asymmetry in artificial cilia with a ctenophore-inspired soft-robotic platform.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A remarkable variety of organisms use metachronal coordination (i.e. numerous neighboring appendages beating sequentially with a fixed phase lag) to swim or pump fluid. This coordination strategy is used by microorganisms to break symmetry at small s...

Robotic dog for navigation of a rehabilitation wheelchair robot in a highly constrained environment.

PloS one
Adaptation to technological advancements and intelligent digital tools can enable healthcare providers to overcome the challenges of their patient-oriented care systems and processes. One such intelligent tool is automated assistive robots, which can...
