OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine how reduced plantar cutaneous sensation influences static postural control in individuals with and without CAI.
We present a soft robotic skin that can recognize and localize texture using a distributed set of sensors and computational elements that are inspired by the Pacinian corpuscle, the fast adapting, uniformly spaced mechanoreceptor with a wide receptiv...
Flexible tactile sensors capable of detecting the magnitude and direction of the applied force together are of great interest for application in human-interactive robots, prosthetics, and bionic arms/feet. Human skin contains excellent tactile sensin...
Perceptual illusions across multiple modalities, such as the rubber-hand illusion, show how dynamic the brain is at adapting its body image and at determining what is part of it (the self) and what is not (others). Several research studies showed tha...
In recent years, physiological features have gained more attention in developing models of personal thermal comfort for improved and accurate adaptive operation of Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Pu...
Soft robots have garnered interest for real-world applications because of their intrinsic safety embedded at the material level. These robots use deformable materials capable of shape and behavioral changes and allow conformable physical contact for ...
Recent developments of molecular biology have revealed diverse mechanisms of skin diseases, and precision medicine considering these mechanisms requires the frequent objective evaluation of skin phenotypes. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is commonl...

BACKGROUND: Despite the invention of various non-invasive bioengineering tools, skin-type analysis has largely been based on subjective assessments. However, advancements in the functional cosmetic industry and artificial intelligence-assisted dermat...
SIGNIFICANCE: Machine learning models for the direct extraction of tissue parameters from hyperspectral images have been extensively researched recently, as they represent a faster alternative to the well-known iterative methods such as inverse Monte...
SIGNIFICANCE: Spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) is an emerging optical imaging modality for visualizing tissue absorption and scattering properties. This approach is promising for noninvasive wide field-of-view (FOV) monitoring of biophysiologi...
