The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of robot arm size, movement speed, and degrees of freedom on perceived safety, trust, mental workload, human behaviors, and task performance in a collaborative pick-and-place task. Fifty-si...
Despite the devastating effects of pressure ulcers (PUs), little is understood about how they can be prevented using alternating-pressure (AP) mattresses. Such mattresses typically aim to minimize the pressures imparted while alternating between diff...
Emerging infectious diseases demand comprehensive containment strategies, encompassing early detection and patient monitoring. Conventional diagnostic tests often suffer from low sensitivity, reliance on specialized equipment, and binary (positive/ne...
The wide adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs) or robot taxis relies on technological advancements and public acceptance, which can be influenced by users' trust in AVs and comfort during rides. Among the influential factors of riding comfort, motion...
Flexible pressure sensors have become a research hotspot in human-computer interaction and material recognition due to their flexibility and high sensitivity. However, the identified information relies on traditional displays and cannot be dynamicall...
The human skin can reliably capture a wide range of multimodal data over a large surface while providing a soft interface. Artificial technologies using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can emulate these biological functions but present numerous...
Precision agriculture aims to increase crop yield while reducing the use of harmful chemicals, such as pesticides and excess fertilizer, using minimal, tailored interventions. However, these strategies are limited by factors such as sensor quality, w...
To enhance the adaptability of tree-climbing robots to changes in tree diameter and load capacity, an "I-shaped" pneumatic flexible tree - climbing robot was designed using self-developed pneumatic flexible joints and retractable needle anchors. The ...
Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is one of the most sensitive indicators of liver function and is crucial in diagnosing acute liver injury (ALI). However, its widespread clinical application is limited due to expensive equipment, detection delays...
In this work, we study the nonlinear dynamics of tail motion using numerical simulations and experiments. Our simulations are based on a discrete model comprising rigid cylinders (representing vertebrae) coupled by longitudinal, shear, and bending sp...
