CuO/TiO/MXene-Based Sensor and SMS-TENG Array Integrated Inspection Robots for Self-Powered Ethanol Detection and Alarm at Room Temperature.

ACS sensors
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)...

Multi-silicone bilateral soft physical twin as an alternative to traditional user interfaces for remote palpation: a comparative study.

Scientific reports
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 ...

Vascular persistence following precision micropuncture.

Microcirculation (New York, N.Y. : 1994)
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...

Large-Area and Low-Cost Force/Tactile Capacitive Sensor for Soft Robotic Applications.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Carbon/Silicone Nanocomposite-Enabled Soft Pressure Sensors with a Liquid-Filled Cell Structure Design for Low Pressure Measurement.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Interdigitated Sensor Based on a Silicone Foam for Subtle Robotic Manipulation.

Macromolecular rapid communications
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...

Design and Fabrication of a Low-Cost Silicone and Water-Based Soft Actuator with a High Load-to-Weight Ratio.

Soft robotics
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 ...

Advanced Characterization of Silicone Oil Droplets in Protein Therapeutics Using Artificial Intelligence Analysis of Imaging Flow Cytometry Data.

Journal of pharmaceutical sciences
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...

Compact Series Visco-Elastic Joint (SVEJ) for Smooth Torque Control.

IEEE transactions on haptics
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...

Stiffness Customization and Patterning for Property Modulation of Silicone-Based Soft Pneumatic Actuators.

Soft robotics
Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs), as novel types of motion drivers for robotic devices, excel in many applications, such as rehabilitation and biomimicry, which demand compliance and softness. To further expand their scope of utilization, the SPAs sho...
