The design and control of a new series-viscous-elastic joint are presented. The proposed joint consists of 3D printed parts compressing nonlinear elastic silicone springs. The use of silicone springs is the main novelty of the system; they exhibit in...
Monitoring protein particles is increasingly emphasized in the development of biopharmaceuticals due to potential immunogenicity. Accurate quantitation of protein particles is complicated by silicone oil droplets, a common pharmaceutical component in...
Traditional actuators, such as motors as well as hydraulic or pneumatic artificial muscles, demonstrate excessive noise, a heavy weight, and a large size, which limit their practical application in many areas. Therefore, for many decades, scientists ...
In this contribution, a soft sensor configuration based on silicone foam is developed to measure compressive forces in the range of 50 N with the aim of providing proprioceptive capabilities to conventional robotic manipulators based on hard material...
In the fields of humanoid robots, soft robotics, and wearable electronics, the development of artificial skins entails pressure sensors that are low in modulus, high in sensitivity, and minimal in hysteresis. However, few sensors in the literature ca...
This paper presents a novel design and development of a low-cost and multi-touch sensor based on capacitive variations. This new sensor is very flexible and easy to fabricate, making it an appropriate choice for soft robot applications. Materials (co...

Soft wearable robots to assist human movements, such as exosuits, have rapidly gained attention thanks to their compliance, low weight and accessibility. However, force measurement in exosuits still rely on load cells and rigid sensors that are not w...
OBJECTIVE: The success of engineered tissues continues to be limited by time to vascularization and perfusion. Recently, we described a simple microsurgical approach, termed micropuncture (MP), which could be used to rapidly vascularize an adjacently...
Teleoperated medical technologies are a fundamental part of the healthcare system. From telemedicine to remote surgery, they allow remote diagnosis and treatment. However, the absence of any interface able to effectively reproduce the sense of touch ...
In this study, a high-precision CuO/TiO/MXene ethanol sensor operating at room temperature was prepared. The sensor exhibits excellent response value (95% @1 ppm ethanol), extremely low detection limit (0.3 ppm), fast response/recovery time (16/13 s)...
