This paper concentrates on finite-time stabilization and energy consumption estimation for one type of delayed neural networks (DNNs) with bounded activation function. Under the bounded activation function condition and using the comparison theorem, ...
To advance the field of soft robotics, a unified database of material constitutive models and experimental characterizations is of paramount importance. This will facilitate the use of finite element analysis to simulate their behavior and optimize t...
Biohybrid actuators have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional actuators employed in robotics, thanks to the unique features of living contractile muscle cells, which can be used to power artificial elements. This paper describes a...

In this paper, we propose a novel analysis method to investigate the finite-time synchronization (FTS) control problem of the drive-response inertial memristive neural networks (IMNNs) with mixed time-varying delays (MTVDs). Firstly, an improved cont...
We present a 3D extension of the Autoprogressive Method (AutoP) for quantitative quasi-static ultrasonic elastography (QUSE) based on sparse sampling of force-displacement measurements. Compared to current model-based inverse methods, our approach re...
