Control Aspects of Shape Memory Alloys in Robotics Applications: A Review over the Last Decade.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper mainly focuses on various types of robots driven or actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) element in the last decade which has created the potential functionality of SMA in robotics technology, that is classified and discussed. The wide spe...

Optical sensors and machine learning algorithms in sensor-based material flow characterization for mechanical recycling processes: A systematic literature review.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Digital technologies hold enormous potential for improving the performance of future-generation sorting and processing plants; however, this potential remains largely untapped. Improved sensor-based material flow characterization (SBMC) methods could...

Design and Research of an Underactuated Manipulator Based on the Metamorphic Mechanism.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot hands play an important role in the interaction between robots and the environment, and the precision and complexity of their tasks in work production are becoming higher and higher. However, because the traditional manipulator has too many dri...

The effect of canard's optimum geometric design on wake control behind the car using Artificial Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm.

ISA transactions
Canard is a cutting-edge aerodynamic attachment for lowering the vehicle's drag coefficient by efficiently directing the airflow as well as reducing the lift coefficient by enhancing down-force. This paper aims to simulate the airflow crossing over t...

A force-sensing retractor for robot-assisted transoral surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: In robot-assisted transoral surgery, frequent retraction operations are essential to leave space for the surgical procedure. Commercial clinical retractors are simply composed of mechanical parts and cannot sense the touching force.

Soft Multi-Directional Force Sensor for Underwater Robotic Application.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Tactile information is crucial for recognizing physical interactions, manipulation of an object, and motion planning for a robotic gripper; however, concurrent tactile technologies have certain limitations over directional force sensing. In particula...

Mechanism design and force sensing of a novel cardiovascular interventional surgery robot.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted cardiovascular interventional surgery is an effective means to reduce the exposure of X-ray radiation to surgeons. However, some of the existing design structures cannot meet the surgical requirements for the coordinated ...

Deep-learning-based 3D cellular force reconstruction directly from volumetric images.

Biophysical journal
The forces exerted by single cells in the three-dimensional (3D) environments play a crucial role in modulating cellular functions and behaviors closely related to physiological and pathological processes. Cellular force microscopy (CFM) provides a f...

Self-Powered Force Sensors for Multidimensional Tactile Sensing.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
A tactile sensor is the centerpiece in human-machine interfaces, enabling robotics or prosthetics to manipulate objects dexterously. Specifically, it is crucial to endow the sensor with the ability to detect and distinguish normal and shear forces in...

Wrinkle force microscopy: a machine learning based approach to predict cell mechanics from images.

Communications biology
Combining experiments with artificial intelligence algorithms, we propose a machine learning based approach called wrinkle force microscopy (WFM) to extract the cellular force distributions from the microscope images. The full process can be divided ...
