Purification of viable peripheral blood mononuclear cells for biobanking using a robotized liquid handling workstation.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: The purification of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by means of density gradient (1.07 g/mL) centrifugation is one of the most commonly used methods in diagnostics and research laboratories as well as in biobanks. Here, we eval...

Multifunctional Nanorobot System for Active Therapeutic Delivery and Synergistic Chemo-photothermal Therapy.

Nano letters
Nanorobots are safe and exhibit powerful functionalities, including delivery, therapy, and diagnosis. Therefore, they are in high demand for the development of new cancer therapies. Although many studies have contributed to the progressive developmen...

Optimized artificial neural network based performance analysis of wheelchair movement for ALS patients.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Individuals with neurodegenerative attacks loose the entire motor neuron movements. These conditions affect the individual actions like walking, speaking impairment and totally make the person in to locked in state (LIS). To overcome the miserable co...

Haptic Material Analysis and Classification Inspired by Human Exploratory Procedures.

IEEE transactions on haptics
We present a framework for the acquisition and parametrization of object material properties. The introduced acquisition device, denoted as Texplorer2, is able to extract surface material properties while a human operator is performing exploratory pr...

Rapid Manufacturing of Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuators and Robots.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
This protocol describes a method for rapid manufacturing of soft pneumatic actuators and robots with an ultrathin form factor using a heat press and a laser cutter machine. The method starts with the lamination of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) she...

Recurrent Braiding of Thin McKibben Muscles to Overcome Their Limitation of Contraction.

Soft robotics
This study presents a novel idea of rebraiding thin McKibben muscles to overcome their limitation of contraction. The thin McKibben muscles, presented in the authors' previous work, have the flexibility that allows them to be braided. According to th...

Can Signal Delay be Functional? Including Delay in Evolved Robot Controllers.

Artificial life
Engineers, control theorists, and neuroscientists often view the delay imposed by finite signal propagation velocities as a problem that needs to be compensated for or avoided. In this article, we consider the alternative possibility that in some cas...
