Viscosity Measurement in Biocondensates Using Deep-Learning-Assisted Single-Particle Rotational Analysis.

The journal of physical chemistry. B
Viscoelastic characterization is of great importance for the investigation of biomolecular condensates. Single-particle-tracking-based rotational diffusion analysis of single nanorods is an effective approach for quantitative viscosity measurement. H...

Bacteria-inspired magnetically actuated rod-like soft robot in viscous fluids.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper seeks to design, develop, and explore the locomotive dynamics and morphological adaptability of a bacteria-inspired rod-like soft robot propelled in highly viscous Newtonian fluids. The soft robots were fabricated as tapered, hollow rod-li...

Magnetohydrodynamic levitation for high-performance flexible pumps.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
We use magnetohydrodynamic levitation as a means to create a soft, elastomeric, solenoid-driven pump (ESP). We present a theoretical framework and fabrication of a pump designed to address the unique challenges of soft robotics, maintaining pumping p...

The stability investigation of variable viscosity control in the human-robot interaction.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: For many co-manipulative applications, variable damping is a valuable feature provided by robots. One approach is implementing a high viscosity at low velocities and a low viscosity at high velocities. This, however, is proven to have the...

Rapid Temperature-Dependent Rheological Measurements of Non-Newtonian Solutions Using a Machine-Learning Aided Microfluidic Rheometer.

Analytical chemistry
Biofluids such as synovial fluid, blood plasma, and saliva contain several proteins which impart non-Newtonian properties to the biofluids. The concentration of such protein macromolecules in biofluids is regarded as an important biomarker for the di...

Nonlinear Intelligent Control of Two Link Robot Arm by Considering Human Voluntary Components.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper proposes a nonlinear intelligent control of a two link robot arm by considering human voluntary components. In general, human arm viscoelastic properties are regulated in different manners according to various task requirements. The viscoe...

Ferromagnetic soft catheter robots for minimally invasive bioprinting.

Nature communications
In vivo bioprinting has recently emerged as a direct fabrication technique to create artificial tissues and medical devices on target sites within the body, enabling advanced clinical strategies. However, existing in vivo bioprinting methods are ofte...

Viscosity of Ionic Liquids: Application of the Eyring's Theory and a Committee Machine Intelligent System.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
Accurate determination of the physicochemical characteristics of ionic liquids (ILs), especially viscosity, at widespread operating conditions is of a vital role for various fields. In this study, the viscosity of pure ILs is modeled using three appr...

Effects of robot viscous forces on arm movements in chronic stroke survivors: a randomized crossover study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Our previous work showed that speed is linked to the ability to recover in chronic stroke survivors. Participants moving faster on the first day of a 3-week study had greater improvements on the Wolf Motor Function Test.

Realization of a push-me-pull-you swimmer at low Reynolds numbers.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Locomotion at low Reynolds numbers encounters stringent physical constraints due to the dominance of viscous over inertial forces. A variety of swimming microorganisms have demonstrated diverse strategies to generate self-propulsion in the absence of...
