A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Experimental Reconstruction of a Nineteenth Century Lower Limb Prosthetic Peg Leg – The Box Leg

EXARC Journal, 2018
Scientific attempts to understand early prosthesis manufacturing techniques are rare. The academic research of artificial limbs has been limited to the historical analysis of documentary sources.

Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

A bioinspired neuromuscular system enabled by flexible electro-optical N2200 nanowire synaptic transistor

Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering
Mimicking the functional traits of the muscle system evolves the development of the neuromorphic prosthetic limbs. Herein, a bioinspired neuromuscular system was constructed by connecting an information processor that uses a flexible electro-optical ...

EVIDENCE-BASED RECOMMENDATION OF A POWERED KNEE FOR TRANSFEMORAL BONE-ANCHORED PROSTHESES: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Canadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal
BACKGROUND: A transfemoral bone-anchored prosthesis (TF-BAP) can be fitted with non-microprocessor-controlled knees (N-MPKs), or with microprocessor-controlled knees, which can be passive (P-MPKs) or active (A-MPKs).

Biomimetic 3D Tactile Sensor System With Neuromorphic Encoding for Fascicle‐Level Feedback

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A 3D biomimetic tactile sensor system converts skin‐like mechanical interactions into neural stimulation‐ready spike patterns. Embedded slow‐ and fast‐adapting sensors distinguish sustained pressure from transient touch, while neuromorphic encoding preserves their temporal signatures.

Reconfigurable Design and Optimization‐Based Control of an Integrated Leg‐Arm Robot for Space Applications With an Underactuated Body

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A quadrupedal integrated leg‐arm robot with an underactuated reconfigurable body is developed. By using a Sarrus mechanism as the body, the robot enables reconfiguration through its supporting limbs, achieving mode switching without additional actuators.

Configuration Design and Analysis of Reconfigurable Supernumerary Robotic Legs for Multitask Adaptation: SuperLegs

Advanced Intelligent Systems
Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) are a new type of wearable robot that add artificial limbs to the human body to perform collaborative tasks. In contrast with exoskeletons, SRLs are kinematically independent of human limbs, allowing the wearer to ...

Adaptive Collision Sensitivity for Efficient and Safe Human–Robot Collaboration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An adaptive collision‐sensitivity framework uses each robot link's effective mass to estimate contact forces online and decide when collaborative robots should stop or continue. Tested on simulated and real UR10e and simulated KUKA arms, it maintains conservative force estimates while reducing unnecessary stops and increasing task productivity. What is
