Harnessing the oloid shape in magnetically driven robots to enable high-resolution ultrasound imaging.

Science robotics
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...

Research on wheelchair form design based on Kansei engineering and GWO-BP neural network.

Scientific reports
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...

A hybrid bioelectronic retina-probe interface for object recognition.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
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...

Quadrupole Magnetic Tweezers for Precise Cell Transportation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
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...

Low Back Exoskeletons in Industry 5.0: From Machines to Perceiving Co-Pilots-A State-of-the-Art Review.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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 ...

Acceptance and Usability of a Soft Robotic, Haptic Feedback Seat for Autonomy Level Transitions in Highly Automated Vehicles.

IEEE transactions on haptics
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...

Development of an Intuitive Interface With Haptic Enhancement for Robot-Assisted Endovascular Intervention.

IEEE transactions on haptics
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...

A tortoise-inspired quadrupedal pneumatic soft robot that adapts to environments through shape change.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Multi-terrain adaptation and landing capabilities pose substantial challenges for pneumatic bionic robots, particularly in crossing obstacles. This paper designs a turtle-inspired quadrupedal pneumatic soft crawling robot with four deformable bionic ...

Sandwich Miura-Ori Enabled Large Area, Super Resolution Tactile Skin for Human-Machine Interactions.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
With substantial advances in materials science and electronics, flexible tactile sensors have emerged as a promising sector with extensive applications, notably in human-machine interactions. However, achieving large-area sensing with few sensing uni...

Continuous real-time detection and management of comprehensive mental states using wireless soft multifunctional bioelectronics.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Quantitatively measuring human mental states that profoundly affect cognition, behavior, and recovery would revolutionize personalized digital healthcare. Detecting fatigue, stress, and sleep is particularly important due to their interdependence: pe...
