BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training is more effective in improving lower limb function and walking ability in stroke patients compared to conventional rehabilitation, but the neural mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the effec...
Despite the devastating effects of pressure ulcers (PUs), little is understood about how they can be prevented using alternating-pressure (AP) mattresses. Such mattresses typically aim to minimize the pressures imparted while alternating between diff...

Low-beta (L, 13-20 Hz) power plays a key role in upper-limb motor control and afferent processing, making it a strong candidate for a neurophysiological biomarker. We investigate the test-retest reliability of Lpower and kinematic features from a rob...
This article attempts to show that current trends in bio-inspired robotics research are incompatible with the transformations needed to address the current ecological crisis. A large part of the scientific community takes refuge behind short-term cha...
A model for mobility of robots keeping the property of uniquely recognizing the vertices of a given network is considered in this work. This is made in order to detect failures or intruders, by means of dynamic vectors of distances to the set of mobi...
The wide adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs) or robot taxis relies on technological advancements and public acceptance, which can be influenced by users' trust in AVs and comfort during rides. Among the influential factors of riding comfort, motion...
Hypoxia arises in most solid tumors with insufficient blood flow, which hinders the delivery and efficacy of therapeutic agents to tumors. In this work, utilizing anaerobic bacteria capable of seeking out hypoxic areas for flourishing, we constructed...
Intravesical drug instillation is a common treatment for bladder cancer, but it suffers from poor targeting and suboptimal patient experience due to the influence of gravity. Here, we innovatively designed a bladder cancer treatment method using sodi...
The human skin can reliably capture a wide range of multimodal data over a large surface while providing a soft interface. Artificial technologies using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can emulate these biological functions but present numerous...
Precision agriculture aims to increase crop yield while reducing the use of harmful chemicals, such as pesticides and excess fertilizer, using minimal, tailored interventions. However, these strategies are limited by factors such as sensor quality, w...
