With the development of society, the service level of rehabilitation institutions needs to be improved. Pneumatic drive technology has attracted widespread attention due to its high safety and easy control. As a new type of driving element, pneumatic...
BACKGROUND: The majority of individuals with chronic stroke have residual upper extremity (UE) disability which they cite as their greatest barrier to recovery. Using orthoses, robotic devices, and functional electrical stimulation (FES) represent re...
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality, with limited possibilities for transplantation due to a critical shortage of donor hearts. Replacing the heart with total artificial hearts (TAHs) remains challenging, due to size constraints ...
The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab sample test, commonly used to detect COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses, involves moving a swab through the nasal cavity to collect samples from the nasopharynx. While typically this is done by human healthcare work...
Soft and flexible robotics is an emerging field that attracts a huge interest due to its ability to produce bioinspired devices that are easily adaptable to the environment. Biohybrid Machines (BHM) represent a category of soft robots that integrate ...
The emergence of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) has significantly developed the landscape of wearable electronics. However, the durability and self-healing capabilities of TENGs remain challenging. Herein, a self-healing triboelectric nanogener...
Multi-dimensional mechanoreceptors are crucial for both humans and robots, providing omnidirectional force/torque senses to ensure dexterous and precise manipulations. Current six-axis force/torque sensors are bulky, heavy, and rigid with complicated...
Although the field of wearable robotic exoskeletons is rapidly expanding, there are several barriers to entry that discourage many from pursuing research in this area, ultimately hindering growth. Chief among these is the lengthy and costly developme...
Microrobotic techniques are promising for treating biofilm infections located deep within the human body. However, the presence of highly viscous pus presents a formidable biological barrier, severely restricting targeted and minimally invasive treat...
With the in-depth integration of research across multiple disciplines, such as biomimetics, robotics, and sensing technology, significant advancements have been made in swarm robotics technology, which has been applied in areas including drone swarms...
