Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Double Affine Hecke Algebras of Rank 1 and the Z_3-Symmetric Askey-Wilson Relations

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2010
We consider the double affine Hecke algebra H=H(k_0,k_1,k_0^v,k_1^v;q) associated with the root system (C_1^v,C_1). We display three elements x, y, z in H that satisfy essentially the Z_3-symmetric Askey-Wilson relations.

The group of parenthesized braids

open access: yesAdvances in Mathematics, 2006
We investigate a group $B\_\bullet$ that includes Artin's braid group $B\_\infty$ and Thompson's group $F$. The elements of $B\_\bullet$ are represented by braids diagrams in which the distances between the strands are not uniform and, besides the usual crossing generators, new rescaling operators shrink or strech the distances between the strands.

Orbifold braid groups and complex braid groups

open access: yes, 2023
A result of Allock [1](arXiv:math/9907194) states that certain orbifold braid groups contain Artin groups of type $D_n$, $\tilde{B}_n$ and $\tilde{D}_n$ as finite index subgroups. The underlying orbifolds have at most two cone points of order two. Based on [10](arXiv:2305.04273) and [12](arXiv:2305.04273), we generalize this result allowing cone points

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Topology and Algebra of Bonded Knots and Braids

open access: yesMathematics
In this paper we present a detailed study of bonded knots and their related structures, integrating recent developments into a single framework. Bonded knots are classical knots endowed with embedded bonding arcs modeling physical or chemical bonds.

Ising-like and Fibonacci anyons from KZ-equations

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
In this work we present solutions to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations corresponding to conformal block wavefunctions of non-Abelian Ising-like and Fibonacci Anyons.

The braid group injects in the virtual braid group

open access: yes, 2020
The virtual braid groups are generalizations of the classical braid groups. This paper gives an elementary proof that the classical braid group injects into the virtual braid group over the same number of strands.

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a
