Emotional Labor and the Problem of Exploitation in Roboticized Care Practices: Enriching the Framework of Care Centred Value Sensitive Design.

Science and engineering ethics
Care ethics has been advanced as a suitable framework for evaluating the ethical significance of assistive robotics. One of the most prominent care ethical contributions to the ethical assessment of assistive robots comes through the work of Aimee Va...

Magnetic Torque-Driven All-Terrain Microrobots.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
All-terrain microrobots possess significant potential in modern medical applications due to their superior maneuverability in complex terrains and confined spaces. However, conventional microrobots often struggle with adaptability and operational dif...

Multifunctional Magnetic Muscles for Soft Robotics.

Nature communications
Despite recent advancements, artificial muscles have not yet been able to strike the right balance between exceptional mechanical properties and dexterous actuation abilities that are found in biological systems. Here, we present an artificial magnet...

A Pre-Voiding Alarm System Using Wearable Ultrasound and Machine Learning Algorithms for Children With Nocturnal Enuresis.

IEEE journal of translational engineering in health and medicine
Nocturnal enuresis is a bothersome condition that affects many children and their caregivers. Post-voiding systems is of little value in training a child into a correct voiding routing while existing pre-voiding systems suffer from several practical ...

A Multifunctional Tactile Sensory System for Robotic Intelligent Identification and Manipulation Perception.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Humans recognize and manipulate objects relying on the multidimensional force features captured by the tactile sense of skin during the manipulation. Since the current sensors integrated in robots cannot support the robots to sense the multiple inter...

Magnetic Miniature Soft Robot with Reprogrammable Drug-Dispensing Functionalities: Toward Advanced Targeted Combination Therapy.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Miniature robots are untethered actuators, which have great prospects to transform targeted drug delivery because they can potentially deliver high concentrations of medicine to the disease site(s) with minimal complications. However, existing miniat...

Fish-inspired tracking of underwater turbulent plumes.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Autonomous ocean-exploring vehicles have begun to take advantage of onboard sensor measurements of water properties such as salinity and temperature to locate oceanic features in real time. Such targeted sampling strategies enable more rapid study of...

Soft pneumatic actuators for pushing fingers into extension.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Compliant pneumatic actuators possess many characteristics that are desirable for wearable robotic systems. These actuators can be lightweight, integrated with clothing, and accommodate uncontrolled degrees of freedom. These attributes ar...

Optimizing vehicle Front-End structure for e-bike rider Safety: An advanced Multi-Objective approach using injury prediction models.

Accident; analysis and prevention
A multi-objective optimization method based on an injury prediction model is proposed to address the increasingly prominent safety issues for e-bike riders in Chinese road traffic. This method aims to enhance the protective effect of vehicle front-en...

Bioinspired deformation computational design method for muscle-driven soft robots using MPM.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In order to adapt to complex and changing environments, animals have a wide variety of locomotor forms, which has inspired the investigation of their deformation and driving mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a computational design method for musc...
