Many fish species gather by the thousands and swim in harmony with seemingly no effort. Large schools display a range of impressive collective behaviors, from simple shoaling to collective migration and from basic predator evasion to dynamic maneuver...
This paper presents a new biomimetic soft finger joint with elastic ligaments for enhanced restoration capability. A hemisphere-shaped flexible finger joint is designed to secure omnidirectional restoration and guarantee a reliable recovery function....
Robotic technology is increasingly used for sophisticated in vitro testing designed to understand the subtleties of joint biomechanics. Typically, the joint coordinate systems in these studies are established via palpation and digitization of anatomi...

In the automated high-throughput nucleic acid detection system, we need to grip and transfer consumables frequently when carrying out multichannel nucleic acid detection. In order to ensure the efficiency of experiments and solve problems of the defl...
Collaborative robot has been widespread application prospect, such as homes, manufacturing, and health-care etc. In physical human-robot interaction, the external force appears inevitably in contact with environment or human, especially the interacti...
Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is an effective treatment for glenohumeral (GH) osteoarthritis. However, it still suffers from a substantial rate of mechanical failure, which may be related to cyclic off-center loading of the humeral head on the gl...
