Wall-climbing performance of gecko-inspired robot with soft feet and digits enhanced by gravity compensation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Gravitational forces can induce deviations in body posture from desired configurations in multi-legged arboreal robot locomotion with low leg stiffness, affecting the contact angle between the swing leg's end-effector and the climbing surface during ...

Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface Controlled Soft Robotic Glove for Stroke Rehabilitation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Soft robotic glove controlled by a brain-computer interface (BCI) have demonstrated effectiveness in hand rehabilitation for stroke patients. Current systems rely on static visual representations for patients to perform motor imagination (MI) tasks, ...

Biohybrid microrobots regulate colonic cytokines and the epithelium barrier in inflammatory bowel disease.

Science robotics
Cytokines have been identified as key contributors to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet conventional treatments often prove inadequate and carry substantial side effects. Here, we present an innovative biohybrid robotic system,...

Binary classification of dead detector elements in flat panel detectors using convolutional neural networks.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Medical physicists routinely perform quality assurance on digital detection systems, part of which involves the testing of flat panel detectors. Flat panels may degrade over time as an increasing number of individual detector elements begin to malfun...

Wearable Robot Design Optimization Using Closed-Form Human-Robot Dynamic Interaction Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Wearable robots are emerging as a viable and effective solution for assisting and enabling people who suffer from balance and mobility disorders. Virtual prototyping is a powerful tool to design robots, preventing the costly iterative physical protot...

Medical Microrobots.

Annual review of biomedical engineering
Scientists around the world have long aimed to produce miniature robots that can be controlled inside the human body to aid doctors in identifying and treating diseases. Such microrobots hold the potential to access hard-to-reach areas of the body th...

3D Printed Magnetic Bionic Robot Inspired by Octopus for Drug Transportation.

Soft robotics
The octopus has attracted widespread attention owing to its unique underwater movement and its ability to escape with inkjets, which also promoted the development of underwater bionic robots. This study introduces a magnetic octopus robot (MOR) 3D pr...

Focused ultrasound enables selective actuation and Newton-level force output of untethered soft robots.

Nature communications
Untethered miniature soft robots have significant application potentials in biomedical and industrial fields due to their space accessibility and safe human interaction. However, the lack of selective and forceful actuation is still challenging in re...
