Super-resolution 4D flow MRI to quantify aortic regurgitation using computational fluid dynamics and deep learning.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics are closely related to the development of aortic regurgitation (AR), a type of valvular heart disease. Metrics derived from blood flows are used to indicate AR onset and evaluate its severity. These metrics can ...

Soft robotic patient-specific hydrodynamic model of aortic stenosis and ventricular remodeling.

Science robotics
Aortic stenosis (AS) affects about 1.5 million people in the United States and is associated with a 5-year survival rate of 20% if untreated. In these patients, aortic valve replacement is performed to restore adequate hemodynamics and alleviate symp...

Control Strategy of an Underactuated Underwater Drone-Shape Robot for Grasping Tasks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In underwater environments, ensuring people's safety is complicated, with potentially life-threatening outcomes, especially when divers have to work in deeper conditions. To improve the available solutions for working with robots in this kind of envi...

Role of the caudal peduncle in a fish-inspired robotic model: how changing stiffness and angle of attack affects swimming performance.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In fish, the tail is a key element of propulsive anatomy that contributes to thrust during swimming. Fish possess the ability to alter tail stiffness, surface area and conformation. Specifically, the region at the base of the tail, the caudal peduncl...

Reduced rotational flows enable the translation of surface-rolling microrobots in confined spaces.

Nature communications
Biological microorganisms overcome the Brownian motion at low Reynolds numbers by utilizing symmetry-breaking mechanisms. Inspired by them, various microrobot locomotion methods have been developed at the microscale by breaking the hydrodynamic symme...

Gaussian process emulation of spatio-temporal outputs of a 2D inland flood model.

Water research
The computational limitations of complex numerical models have led to adoption of statistical emulators across a variety of problems in science and engineering disciplines to circumvent the high computational costs associated with numerical simulatio...

Interactive and synergistic behaviours of multiple heterogeneous microrobots.

Lab on a chip
Microrobots have been extensively studied for biomedical applications, and significant innovations and advances have been made in diverse aspects of the field. However, most studies have been based on individual microrobots with limited capabilities,...

Accelerating hydrodynamic simulations of urban drainage systems with physics-guided machine learning.

Water research
We propose and demonstrate a new approach for fast and accurate surrogate modelling of urban drainage system hydraulics based on physics-guided machine learning. The surrogates are trained against a limited set of simulation results from a hydrodynam...

SurferBot: a wave-propelled aquatic vibrobot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nature has evolved a vast array of strategies for propulsion at the air-fluid interface. Inspired by a survival mechanism initiated by the honeybee () trapped on the surface of water, we here present the: a centimeter-scale vibrating robotic device t...

Resurrecting extinct cephalopods with biomimetic robots to explore hydrodynamic stability, maneuverability, and physical constraints on life habits.

Scientific reports
Externally shelled cephalopods with coiled, planispiral conchs were ecologically successful for hundreds of millions of years. These animals displayed remarkable morphological disparity, reflecting comparable differences in physical properties that w...
