A resonant quadruped piezoelectric robot inspired by human butterfly swimming patterns.

Ultrasonics
Piezoelectric micro-robots have gained considerable attention in rescue and medical applications due to their rapid response times and high positioning accuracy. In this paper, inspired by the human butterfly locomotion pattern, we propose a novel re...

Review on Piezoelectric Actuators Based on High-Performance Piezoelectric Materials.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
The piezoelectric actuator is a kind of actuation device that acts through the inverse piezoelectric effect. Due to advantages of high precision, low power consumption, compact size, and flexible structure design, they have a wide range of applicatio...

Machine Learning Methodology in a System Applying the Adaptive Strategy for Teaching Human Motions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The teaching of motion activities in rehabilitation, sports, and professional work has great social significance. However, the automatic teaching of these activities, particularly those involving fast motions, requires the use of an adaptive system t...

Blood Sugar Level Indication Through Chewing and Swallowing from Acoustic MEMS Sensor and Deep Learning Algorithm for Diabetic Management.

Journal of medical systems
Diabetes, a metabolic disorder due to high blood glycemic index in the human body. The glycemic index varies in the human of improper diet and eating pattern such as junk foods, variation in the quantity of food, swallowing of food without chewing an...

Light-Driven Micro/Nanomotor for Promising Biomedical Tools: Principle, Challenge, and Prospect.

Accounts of chemical research
A micro/nanomotor (MNM), as miniaturized machinery, can potentially bridge the application gap between the traditional macroscale motor and the molecular motor to manipulate materials at the cellular scale. The fascinating biomedical potential applic...

Artificial lateral line based local sensing between two adjacent robotic fish.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The lateral line system (LLS) is a mechanoreceptive organ system with which fish and aquatic amphibians can effectively sense the surrounding flow field. The reverse Kármán vortex street (KVS), known to be a typical thrust-producing wake, is commonly...

Joint amplitude MEMS based measurement platform for low cost and high accessibility telerehabilitation: Elbow case study.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
This paper, presents an inertial and magnetic sensor based technological platform, intended for articular amplitude monitoring and telerehabilitation processes considering an efficient cost/technical considerations compromise. The particularities of ...

Bio-inspired, Moisture-Powered Hybrid Carbon Nanotube Yarn Muscles.

Scientific reports
Hygromorph artificial muscles are attractive as self-powered actuators driven by moisture from the ambient environment. Previously reported hygromorph muscles have been largely limited to bending or torsional motions or as tensile actuators with low ...

Softworms: the design and control of non-pneumatic, 3D-printed, deformable robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robots that can easily interact with humans and move through natural environments are becoming increasingly essential as assistive devices in the home, office and hospital. These machines need to be safe, effective, and easy to control. One strategy ...
