BACKGROUND: Accurate spinal screw placement in spinal instrumentation is of utmost importance to avoid injury to surrounding neurovascular structures. This study was performed to investigate differences in accuracy, operating room time, length of sta...
We propose two-dimensional poly(heptazine imide) (PHI) carbon nitride microparticles as light-driven microswimmers in various ionic and biological media. Their high-speed (15 to 23 micrometer per second; 9.5 ± 5.4 body lengths per second) swimming in...
Legged robots that can operate autonomously in remote and hazardous environments will greatly increase opportunities for exploration into underexplored areas. Exteroceptive perception is crucial for fast and energy-efficient locomotion: Perceiving th...
To achieve cancer screening in any appointed position in 3D regions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract such as esophagus, stomach and colon, a highly integrated dual hemisphere capsule robot (DHCR) with a novel three-layer nested structure is propose...
In order to establish natural social synchrony between two humans, two requirements need to be fulfilled. First, the coupling must be bi-directional. The two humans react to each other's actions. Second, natural social bodily synchronization has to b...
All soft robots require the same functionality, that is, controlling the shape of a structure made from soft materials. However, existing approaches for shape control of soft robots are primarily dominated by modular pneumatic actuators, which requir...
