Multi-task convolutional neural network-based design of radio frequency pulse and the accompanying gradients for magnetic resonance imaging.

NMR in biomedicine
Modern MRI systems usually load the predesigned RFs and the accompanying gradients during clinical scans, with minimal adaption to the specific requirements of each scan. Here, we describe a neural network-based method for real-time design of excitat...

Electrically Activated Soft Robots: Speed Up by Rolling.

Soft robotics
Soft robots show excellent body compliance, adaptability, and mobility when coping with unstructured environments and human-robot interactions. However, the moving speed for soft locomotion robots is far from that of their rigid partners. Rolling loc...

HASEL Artificial Muscles for a New Generation of Lifelike Robots-Recent Progress and Future Opportunities.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Future robots and intelligent systems will autonomously navigate in unstructured environments and closely collaborate with humans; integrated with our bodies and minds, they will allow us to surpass our physical limitations. Traditional robots are mo...

A Novel Inflatable Actuator Based on Simultaneous Eversion Retraction.

Soft robotics
Inflatable robotics is a promising area for the deployment of low-cost structures that are easy to transport and deploy while allowing safe interactions with humans and the environment. One of the key elements in the development of inflatable robots ...

Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke.

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
BACKGROUND: Electromechanical- and robot-assisted gait-training devices are used in rehabilitation and might help to improve walking after stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2007 and previously updated in 2017.

High-Performance Organic Electrochemical Transistors with Nanoscale Channel Length and Their Application to Artificial Synapse.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have attracted considerable interests for various applications ranging from biosensors to digital logic circuits and artificial synapses. However, the majority of reported OECTs utilize large channel length...

Eye Explorer: A robotic endoscope holder for eye surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Holding endoscopes by hand when performing eye surgery reduces the dexterity of the surgeon.

Robotic Localization Based on Planar Cable Robot and Hall Sensor Array Applied to Magnetic Capsule Endoscope.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recently an active locomotive capsule endoscope (CE) for diagnosis and treatment in the digestive system has been widely studied. However, real-time localization to achieve precise feedback control and record suspicious positioning in the intestine i...

Characterization and wearability evaluation of a fully portable wrist exoskeleton for unsupervised training after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Chronic hand and wrist impairment are frequently present following stroke and severely limit independence in everyday life. The wrist orientates and stabilizes the hand before and during grasping, and is therefore of critical importance i...

Modeling and Optimization of Electrostatic Film Actuators Based on the Method of Moments.

Soft robotics
Electrostatic film actuators represent a promising new approach to drive a soft robot, but they lack a comprehensive model to link the design parameters and actuation performance, making actuator design and parameter optimization challenging. To solv...
