Soluble Polymer Pneumatic Networks and a Single-Pour System for Improved Accessibility and Durability of Soft Robotic Actuators.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic devices can be used to demonstrate mechanics, robotics, and health care devices in classrooms. The complexity of soft robotic actuator fabrication has limited its classroom use. We propose a single-mold method of fabricating soluble inse...

A Real-Time Depth of Anesthesia Monitoring System Based on Deep Neural Network With Large EDO Tolerant EEG Analog Front-End.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
In this article, we present a real-time electroencephalogram (EEG) based depth of anesthesia (DoA) monitoring system in conjunction with a deep learning framework, AnesNET. An EEG analog front-end (AFE) that can compensate ±380-mV electrode DC offset...

Biologically inspired swimming robotic frog based on pneumatic soft actuators.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Research on soft robots and swimming robots has been widely reported and demonstrated. However, none of these soft swimming robots can swim flexibly and efficiently using legs, just like a frog. This paper demonstrates a self-contained, untethered sw...

A Layer Jamming Actuator for Tunable Stiffness and Shape-Changing Devices.

Soft robotics
Changing the shape and the stiffness of a device in a dynamic and controlled way enables important advancements in the field of robotics and wearable robotics. Variable stiffness materials and technologies can be used to address this challenge. In pa...

Spatio-temporal deep learning methods for motion estimation using 4D OCT image data.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Localizing structures and estimating the motion of a specific target region are common problems for navigation during surgical interventions. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality with a high spatial and temporal resoluti...

Strategies to modulate zebrafish collective dynamics with a closed-loop biomimetic robotic system.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The objective of this study is to integrate biomimetic robots into small groups of zebrafish and to modulate their collective behaviours. A possible approach is to have the robots behave like sheepdogs. In this case, the robots would behave like a di...

A pilot study on the design and validation of a hybrid exoskeleton robotic device for hand rehabilitation.

Journal of hand therapy : official journal of the American Society of Hand Therapists
STUDY DESIGN: An iterative design process was used to obtain design parameters that satisfy both kinematic and dynamic requirements for the hand exoskeleton. This design was validated through experimental studies.

Swimming Performance of the Frog-Inspired Soft Robot.

Soft robotics
This article presents a frog-inspired swimming soft robot whose joints are articulated pneumatic soft actuators. The soft actuator is designed and prepared by studying the biological structure and limb movement characteristics of frogs. A schematic l...

Dual-sensor fusion based attitude holding of a fin-actuated robotic fish.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In nature, the lateral line system (LLS) is a critical sensor organ of fish for rheotaxis in complex environments. Inspired by the LLS, numbers of artificial lateral line systems (ALLSs) have been designed to the fish-like robots for flow field perce...
