Robotics-assisted mass spectrometry assay platform enabled by open-source electronics.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an important analytical technique with numerous applications in clinical analysis, biochemistry, environmental analysis, geology and physics. Its success builds on the ability of MS to determine molecular weights of analytes...

An Intelligent Robotic Hospital Bed for Safe Transportation of Critical Neurosurgery Patients Along Crowded Hospital Corridors.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
We present a novel design of an intelligent robotic hospital bed, named Flexbed, with autonomous navigation ability. The robotic bed is developed for fast and safe transportation of critical neurosurgery patients without changing beds. Flexbed is mor...

Time-Varying Ankle Mechanical Impedance During Human Locomotion.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In human locomotion, we continuously modulate joint mechanical impedance of the lower limb (hip, knee, and ankle) either voluntarily or reflexively to accommodate environmental changes and maintain stable interaction. Ankle mechanical impedance plays...

Robotic adherent cell injection for characterizing cell-cell communication.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Compared to robotic injection of suspended cells (e.g., embryos and oocytes), fewer attempts were made to automate the injection of adherent cells (e.g., cancer cells and cardiomyocytes) due to their smaller size, highly irregular morphology, small t...

Machine learning-based augmented reality for improved surgical scene understanding.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
In orthopedic and trauma surgery, AR technology can support surgeons in the challenging task of understanding the spatial relationships between the anatomy, the implants and their tools. In this context, we propose a novel augmented visualization of ...

Bioinspired adaptive visual servoing control for quadrotors.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Since every flight ends in a landing and every landing is a potential crash, deceleration during landing is one of the most critical flying maneuvers. Here we implement a recently-discovered insect visual-guided landing strategy in which the divergen...

Development of an Assistance Robot for Fall Detection and Reporting in Healthcare.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Falls pose a substantial risk to elderly individuals, especially those over 65, often leading to severe consequences. This project investigates the potential of the tēmi robot for fall detection in care facilities and its integration into a simulated...

Micro-scale fiber-optic force sensor fabricated using direct laser writing and calibrated using machine learning.

Optics express
Fiber-optic sensors have numerous existing and emerging applications spanning areas from industrial process monitoring to medical diagnosis. Two of the most common fiber sensors are based on the fabrication of Bragg gratings or Fabry-Perot etalons. W...

Instrument Failure, Stress, and Spatial Disorientation Leading to a Fatal Crash With a Large Aircraft.

Aerospace medicine and human performance
BACKGROUND: An aircraft's orientation relative to the ground cannot be perceived via the sense of balance or the somatosensory system. When devoid of external visual references, the pilot must rely on instruments. A sudden unexpected instrument indic...

Anchoring like octopus: biologically inspired soft artificial sucker.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
This paper presents a robotic anchoring module, a sensorized mechanism for attachment to the environment that can be integrated into robots to enable or enhance various functions such as robot mobility, remaining on location or its ability to manipul...
