Ferromagnetic soft catheter robots for minimally invasive bioprinting.

Nature communications
In vivo bioprinting has recently emerged as a direct fabrication technique to create artificial tissues and medical devices on target sites within the body, enabling advanced clinical strategies. However, existing in vivo bioprinting methods are ofte...

Cutaneous Ionogel Mechanoreceptors for Soft Machines, Physiological Sensing, and Amputee Prostheses.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Touch sensing has a central role in robotic grasping and emerging human-machine interfaces for robot-assisted prosthetics. Although advancements in soft conductive polymers have promoted the creation of diverse pressure sensors, these sensors are dif...

Eye-Movement-Controlled Wheelchair Based on Flexible Hydrogel Biosensor and WT-SVM.

Biosensors
To assist patients with restricted mobility to control wheelchair freely, this paper presents an eye-movement-controlled wheelchair prototype based on a flexible hydrogel biosensor and Wavelet Transform-Support Vector Machine (WT-SVM) algorithm. Cons...

Diving beetle-like miniaturized plungers with reversible, rapid biofluid capturing for machine learning-based care of skin disease.

Science advances
Recent advances in bioinspired nano/microstructures have received attention as promising approaches with which to implement smart skin-interfacial devices for personalized health care. In situ skin diagnosis requires adaptable skin adherence and rapi...

2D-Material-integrated hydrogels as multifunctional protective skins for soft robots.

Materials horizons
Soft robots provide compliant object-machine interactions, but they exhibit insufficient material stability, which restricts them from working in harsh environments. Herein, we developed a class of soft robotic skins based on two-dimensional material...

A Zwitterionic-Aromatic Motif-Based ionic skin for highly biocompatible and Glucose-Responsive sensor.

Journal of colloid and interface science
Electronic skins that can sense external stimuli have been of great significance in artificial intelligence and smart wearable devices in recent years. However, most of current skin materials are unable to achieve high biocompatibility and anti-bacte...

Deep Learning-Enabled Label-Free On-Chip Detection and Selective Extraction of Cell Aggregate-Laden Hydrogel Microcapsules.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Microfluidic encapsulation of cells/tissues in hydrogel microcapsules has attracted tremendous attention in the burgeoning field of cell-based medicine. However, when encapsulating rare cells and tissues (e.g., pancreatic islets and ovarian follicles...

Highly Stretchable Flame-Retardant Skin for Soft Robotics with Hydrogel-Montmorillonite-Based Translucent Matrix.

Soft robotics
Flame-retardant coatings are crucial for intelligent systems operating in high-temperature (300-800°C) scenarios, which typically involve multi-joint discrete or continuous kinematic systems. These multi-segment motion generation systems call for con...

Monolithic Three-Dimensional Functionally Graded Hydrogels for Bioinspired Soft Robots Fabrication.

Soft robotics
Bioinspired soft robotics aims at reproducing the complex hierarchy and architecture of biological tissues within artificial systems to achieve the typical motility and adaptability of living organisms. The development of suitable fabrication approac...

High-Performance Photochromic Hydrogels for Rewritable Information Record.

Macromolecular rapid communications
Rewritable information record materials usually demand not only reversibly stimuli-responsive ability, but also strong mechanical properties. To achieve one photochromic hydrogel with super-strong mechanical strength, hydrophobic molecule spiropyran ...
