Conventional rigid grippers remain the most-used robotic grippers in industrial assembly tasks. However, they are limited in their ability to handle a diverse range of objects. This study draws inspiration from nature to address these limitations, em...
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt obstruction, often caused by protein and fat accumulation at the ventricular catheter ports, impedes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow, increases intracranial pressure (ICP), and leads to hydrocephalus. Current treatme...
Simultaneous monitoring of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (SER) in urine offers a non-invasive route for diagnosing neurological, psychiatric, and metabolic disorders. However, their multiplexed detection at the point-of-care remains challenging due to ...
Sweat, a biofluid rich in various biomarkers, offers significant potential for non-invasive health monitoring and disease screening. Colorimetric detection is well-suited for multi-analyte quantification and point-of-care testing in sweat analysis, w...
Tactile sensing arrays play a crucial role in human-machine interaction, robotics, and artificial intelligence by enabling the perception of physical stimuli on robotic surfaces or human skin. However, skin-attachable sensor arrays still suffer from ...
Jellyfish achieve efficient pulse jetting through large-amplitude, low-frequency deformations of a soft bell. This is made possible through large localised deformations at the bell margin. This paper develops a novel soft-robotic underwater pulse jet...
Neuronal control of skeletal muscle function is ubiquitous across species for locomotion and doing work. In particular, emergent behaviors of neurons in biohybrid neuromuscular systems can advance bioinspired locomotion research. Although recent stud...
High-tech mechanical ventilators are engineered to deliver precise and consistent airflow, which is critical for effective respiratory therapy. This study evaluates flow control performance in a custom-built electro-pneumatic ventilator prototype, co...
Multimodal miniature soft robots, with their higher movement flexibility and environmental adaptability, represent a crucial direction for the future development of soft robots. Magnetic-driven robots, owing to their advantages such as excellent remo...
