OBJECTIVES: Soft robotic hands are proposed for stroke rehabilitation in terms of their high compliance and low inherent stiffness. We investigated the clinical efficacy of a soft robotic hand that could actively flex and extend the fingers in chroni...
Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are one of the key technologies in soft robotics, and they enable actuation in mobile robots, in wearable devices and exoskeletons for assistive and rehabilitative purposes. While they recently showed relevant impr...
The energy demand in the world has increased rapidly in the last few decades. This demand is arising the need for alternative energy resources. Solar energy is the most eminent energy resource which is completely free from pollution and fuel. However...
Jamming technologies are one of the promising approaches of variable stiffness mechanisms. However, there are problems limiting the broad application of jamming-based approaches such as a limited stiffening capacity and restricted stiffening position...
In previous experiments, a back-off movement was introduced as a motion strategy of robots to facilitate the order of passage at bottlenecks in human-robot spatial interaction. In this article we take a closer look at the appropriate application of m...
Contact driven tasks, such as surface conditioning operations (wiping, polishing, sanding, etc.), are difficult to program in advance to be performed autonomously by a robotic system, specially when the objects involved are moving. In many applicatio...

BACKGROUND: The ankle joint complex (AJC) is of fundamental importance for balance, support, and propulsion. However, it is particularly susceptible to musculoskeletal and neurological injuries, especially neurological injuries such as drop foot foll...
To circumvent the von Neumann bottleneck, substantial progress has been made towards in-memory computing with synaptic devices. However, compact nanodevices implementing non-linear activation functions are required for efficient full-hardware impleme...
