Variable recruitment in bundles of miniature pneumatic artificial muscles.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 13, 2016
The natural compliance and force generation properties of pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) allow them to operate like human muscles in anthropomorphic robotic manipulators. Traditionally, manipulators use a single PAM or multiple PAMs actuated in ...
Development and characterization of muscle-based actuators for self-stabilizing swimming biorobots.
Lab on a chip
Jul 28, 2016
Biorobots that harness the power generated by living muscle cells have recently gained interest as an alternative to traditional mechanical robots. However, robust and reliable operation of these biorobots still remains a challenge. Toward this end, ...
Functional Assessment of a Myoelectric Postural Controller and Multi-Functional Prosthetic Hand by Persons With Trans-Radial Limb Loss.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Jun 30, 2016
The functional assessment of myoelectric control algorithms by persons with amputation promotes the overarching goal of the field of prosthetic limb design: to replace what was lost. However, many studies use experimental paradigms with virtual inter...

Cascaded Adaptation Framework for Fast Calibration of Myoelectric Control.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
May 3, 2016
In spite of several decades of intensive research and development, the existing algorithms of myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR) are yet to make significant clinical and commercial impact. This study focuses on the one of the limiting factors of c...
Bio-inspired, Moisture-Powered Hybrid Carbon Nanotube Yarn Muscles.
Scientific reports
Mar 14, 2016
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 ...
Bi-directional series-parallel elastic actuator and overlap of the actuation layers.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 27, 2016
Several robotics applications require high torque-to-weight ratio and energy efficient actuators. Progress in that direction was made by introducing compliant elements into the actuation. A large variety of actuators were developed such as series ela...
The effect of cinnamon extract on isolated rat uterine strips.
Reproductive biology
Dec 17, 2015
Cinnamon is a spice used by some populations as a traditional remedy to control blood pressure and thus hypertension. Cinnamon extract decreases contractility in some smooth muscles, but its effect on uterine smooth muscle is unknown. The aim of this...
A locust-inspired miniature jumping robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nov 25, 2015
Unmanned ground vehicles are mostly wheeled, tracked, or legged. These locomotion mechanisms have a limited ability to traverse rough terrain and obstacles that are higher than the robot's center of mass. In order to improve the mobility of small rob...
Shoulder complex linkage mechanism for humanlike musculoskeletal robot arms.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nov 5, 2015
The shoulder complex in the human body consists of the scapula, clavicle, humerus, and thorax and bears the load imposed by arm movements while at the same time realizing a wide range of motions. To mimic and exploit its role, several musculoskeletal...
Incidence of nonresponse and individual patterns of response following sprint interval training.
Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme
Nov 3, 2015
The current study sought to explore the incidence of nonresponders for maximal or submaximal performance following a variety of sprint interval training (SIT) protocols. Data from 63 young adults from 5 previously published studies were utilized in t...
