The strong interaction of blood with the foreign surface of membrane oxygenators during ECMO therapy leads to adhesion of immune cells on the oxygenator membranes, which can be visualized in the form of image sequences using confocal laser scanning m...

BACKGROUND: The single port surgical robot causes only one incision and brings many benefits to patients. It is very challenging to design a single port surgical robot that causes a smaller incision than current products.
The movement capabilities of snake robots allow them to be applied in a variety of applications. We realized a snake robot climbing in crowded pipes. In this paper, we implement a sinusoidal curve control method that allows the snake robot to move fa...
Shortage of labor and increased work of young people are causing problems in terms of care and welfare of a growing proportion of elderly people. This is a looming social problem because people of advanced ages are increasing. Necessary in the fields...
Many legged robots have taken insight from animals to run, jump, and climb. Very few, however, have extended the flexibility of limbs to the task of swimming. In this paper, we address the study of multi-modal limbed locomotion by extending our later...
In bioinspired soft robotics, very few studies have focused on fluidic transmissions and there is an urgent need for translating fluidic concepts into realizable fluidic components to be applied in different fields. Nature has often offered an inspir...
