Length Estimation of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle with Optical Fiber Sensor Using Machine Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
A McKibben artificial muscle is a soft actuator driven by air pressure, characterized by its flexibility, lightweight design, and high power-to-weight ratio. We have developed a smart artificial muscle that is capable of sensing its motion. To enable...

Soft robotic brittle star shows the influence of mass distribution on underwater walking.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Most walking organisms tend to have relatively light limbs and heavy bodies in order to facilitate rapid limb motion. However, the limbs of brittle stars (Class Ophiuroidea) are primarily comprised of dense skeletal elements, with potentially much hi...

Design and Performance Evaluation of Machine Learning-Based Terahertz Metasurface Chemical Sensor.

IEEE transactions on nanobioscience
This paper presents a terahertz metasurface based sensor design incorporating graphene and other plasmonic materials for highly sensitive detection of different chemicals. The proposed sensor employs the combination of multiple resonator designs - in...

Harnessing the oloid shape in magnetically driven robots to enable high-resolution ultrasound imaging.

Science robotics
Magnetic fields enable remote manipulation of objects and are ideal for medical applications because they pass through human tissue harmlessly. This capability is promising for surgical robots, allowing navigation deeper into the human anatomy and ac...

Research on wheelchair form design based on Kansei engineering and GWO-BP neural network.

Scientific reports
With the increasing emphasis on humanistic care in society, consumers are no longer only concerned about the functional needs of products but also about the spiritual, cultural, and emotional needs that products bring to people. This study proposes a...

A hybrid bioelectronic retina-probe interface for object recognition.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Retina converts light stimuli into spike firings, encoding abundant visual information critical for both fundamental studies of the visual system and therapies for visual diseases. However, probing these spikes directly from the retina is hindered by...

Quadrupole Magnetic Tweezers for Precise Cell Transportation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This research introduces a quadrupole magnetic tweezers which can be used for precise cell transportation by actuating magnetic spherical microrobots. The focus of the system is on navigating and manipulating cells within environments characterized b...

Low Back Exoskeletons in Industry 5.0: From Machines to Perceiving Co-Pilots-A State-of-the-Art Review.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This manuscript presents an updated review of back exoskeletons for occupational use, with a particular focus on sensor technology as a key enabler for intelligent and adaptive support. The study aims to identify key barriers to adoption and explore ...

Acceptance and Usability of a Soft Robotic, Haptic Feedback Seat for Autonomy Level Transitions in Highly Automated Vehicles.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Fully autonomous vehicles, capable of completing entire end-to-end journeys without the interference of a human driver, will be one of the biggest transforming technologies of the next decades. As the journey towards fully autonomous vehicles progres...

Development of an Intuitive Interface With Haptic Enhancement for Robot-Assisted Endovascular Intervention.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Robot-assisted endovascular intervention has the potential to reduce radiation exposure to surgeons and enhance outcomes of interventions. However, the success and safety of endovascular interventions depend on surgeons' ability to accurately manipul...
