Performance analysis of jump-gliding locomotion for miniature robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Recent work suggests that jumping locomotion in combination with a gliding phase can be used as an effective mobility principle in robotics. Compared to pure jumping without a gliding phase, the potential benefits of hybrid jump-gliding locomotion in...

Confined swimming of bio-inspired microrobots in rectangular channels.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Controlled swimming of bio-inspired microrobots in confined spaces needs to be understood well for potential use in medical applications in conduits and vessels inside the body. In this study, experimental and computational studies are performed for ...

Miniaturized spectroscopy and AI-driven probes in food industry automation.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Spectroscopy is a rapidly advancing analytical technique, which is increasingly employed in the food industry as a non-destructive and rapid quality control tool. Based on spectral analysis and developed multivariate predictive models this technique ...

Dual high-stroke and high-work capacity artificial muscles inspired by DNA supercoiling.

Science robotics
Powering miniature robots using actuating materials that mimic skeletal muscle is attractive because conventional mechanical drive systems cannot be readily downsized. However, muscle is not the only mechanically active system in nature, and the thou...

[3D printed portable gel electrophoresis device for rapid detection of proteins].

Se pu = Chinese journal of chromatography
The growing demand for rapid, portable, and economical detection methods for environmental analysis has resulted in increasing demands on the portability and miniaturization of analytical instruments. The miniaturization of scientific instruments fac...

Piezo-actuated parallel mechanism for biological cell release at high speed.

Biomedical microdevices
In this paper, a dynamic releasing approach is proposed for high-speed biological cell manipulation. A compact parallel mechanism for grasping and releasing microobjects is used to generate controllable vibration to overcome the strong adhesion force...

A novel hybrid microrobot using rotational magnetic field for medical applications.

Biomedical microdevices
Magnetically actuated microrobots for such tools have potential accomplish procedures in biological and medical applications. In this paper, a novel magnetically actuated hybrid microrobot with hybrid motion driven by an electromagnetic actuation sys...

Untethered magnetic millirobot for targeted drug delivery.

Biomedical microdevices
This paper reports the design and development of a novel millimeter-sized robotic system for targeted therapy. The proposed medical robot is conceived to perform therapy in relatively small diameter body canals (spine, urinary system, ovary, etc.), a...
