The reconstructed skin micronucleus (RSMN) assay was developed in 2006, as an in vitro alternative for genotoxicity evaluation of dermally applied chemicals or products. In the years since, significant progress has been made in the optimization of th...
Tactile sensing is the current challenge in robotics and object manipulation by machines. The robot's agile interaction with the environment requires pressure sensors to detect not only location and value, but also touch direction. The paper presents...
The bodies of earthworms are composed of repeating deformable structural units, called metameres, that generate the peristaltic body motions required for limbless underground burrowing and above-ground crawling. Metameres are actuated by circular and...
