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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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 ...
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...
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...
