Contributing Components of Metabolic Energy Models to Metabolic Cost Estimations in Gait.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: As metabolic cost is a primary factor influencing humans' gait, we want to deepen our understanding of metabolic energy expenditure models. Therefore, this paper identifies the parameters and input variables, such as muscle or joint states...

A Physics-Informed Low-Shot Adversarial Learning for sEMG-Based Estimation of Muscle Force and Joint Kinematics.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Muscle force and joint kinematics estimation from surface electromyography (sEMG) are essential for real-time biomechanical analysis of the dynamic interplay among neural muscle stimulation, muscle dynamics, and kinetics. Recent advances in deep neur...

Fast-Swimming Soft Robotic Fish Actuated by Bionic Muscle.

Soft robotics
Soft underwater swimming robots actuated by smart materials have unique advantages in exploring the ocean, such as low noise, high flexibility, and friendly environment interaction ability. However, most of them typically exhibit limited swimming spe...

Steering Muscle-Based Bio-Syncretic Robot Through Bionic Optimized Biped Mechanical Design.

Soft robotics
Bio-syncretic robots consisting of artificial structures and living muscle cells have attracted much attention owing to their potential advantages, such as high drive efficiency, miniaturization, and compatibility. Motion controllability, as an impor...

Improved image quality in contrast-enhanced 3D-T1 weighted sequence by compressed sensing-based deep-learning reconstruction for the evaluation of head and neck.

Magnetic resonance imaging
PURPOSE: To assess the utility of deep learning (DL)-based image reconstruction with the combination of compressed sensing (CS) denoising cycle by comparing images reconstructed by conventional CS-based method without DL in fat-suppressed (Fs)-contra...

Novel Acid-Driven Bioinspired Self-Resettable Bilayer Hydrogel Actuator Mimicking Natural Muscles.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Soft robots have great potential applications in manufacturing, disaster rescue, medical treatment, etc. Artificial muscle is one of the most important components of a soft robot. In previous years, hydrogel actuators that can be controllably deforme...

Effective On-Line Performance Modulation and Efficient Continuous Preparation of Ultra-Long Twisted and Coiled Polymer Artificial Muscles for Engineering Applications.

Soft robotics
Artificial muscle is a kind of thread-like actuator that can produce contractile strain, generate force, and output mechanical work under external stimulations to imitate the functions and achieve the performances of biological muscles. It can be use...

MRI/RNA-Seq-Based Radiogenomics and Artificial Intelligence for More Accurate Staging of Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer.

International journal of molecular sciences
Accurate staging of bladder cancer assists in identifying optimal treatment (e.g., transurethral resection vs. radical cystectomy vs. bladder preservation). However, currently, about one-third of patients are over-staged and one-third are under-stage...

High-Stroke, High-Output-Force, Fabric-Lattice Artificial Muscles for Soft Robots.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Artificial muscles, providing safe and close interaction between humans and machines, are essential in soft robotics. However, their insufficient deformation, output force, or configurability usually limits their applications. Herein, this work prese...
