ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Microbiology of bruised tissue [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1979
No significant differences could be found in the microbial quality of bruised and unbruised tissue provided that the two types of tissue were treated identically. This suggests that there is no good reason for the condemnation of bruised tissue, which could well be used in manufactured products.

Modular, Textile‐Based Soft Robotic Grippers for Agricultural Produce Handling

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces textile‐based pneumatic grippers that transform simple textiles into robust bending actuators. Detailed experiments uncover how cut geometry and fabric selection shape performance. Successful handling of fragile agricultural items showcases the potential of textile robotics for safe, scalable automation in food processing and ...

Assessment of Mechanical Damage on Olive Fruit under Impact Loading [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Machinery, 2018
Introduction The olive fruit (Olea europaea L.) is so sensitive to impact like many other crops that would lead to mechanical damage and bruising which reduce the quality of it.

Advancing Fruit Bioimpedance Monitoring With Sustainable, Soft, And Bio‐Based Electrodes Beyond ECG

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Electrical impedance spectroscopy enables non‐destructive fruit quality monitoring, but conventional ECG and needle electrodes compromise signal stability, fruit physiology, and sustainability. This perspective highlights the transition toward soft, biocompatible, and biodegradable electrode interfaces based on natural substrates, bio‐derived ...

Evaluation of the Changes in Optical Properties of Peaches with Different Maturity Levels during Bruising

open access: yesFoods, 2021
The main objective was to measure the optical coefficients of peaches after bruising at different maturity levels and detect bruises. A spatially resolved method was used to acquire absorption coefficient (μa) and the reduced scattering coefficient (µs’)

Intra‐articular Orthobiologics Show Statistically but Not Clinically Meaningful Improvements Compared With Viscosupplementation in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Network Meta‐analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of intra‐articular platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), stromal vascular fraction (SVF), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), umbilical cord‐derived mesenchymal stem cell (UC‐MSC), and hyaluronic acid (HA) for pain relief and functional improvement in patients with knee osteoarthritis through network meta ...

Repair of Distal Biceps Femoris Avulsion and Lateral Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: Surgical Pearls

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Isolated avulsions of the distal biceps femoris are infrequent; however, they often occur in combination with other injuries to the posterolateral corner of the knee including the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). We describe a technique for LCL reconstruction with semitendinosus allograft through a bone tunnel in the fibula, followed by ...

Genetic variation and combining ability analysis of bruising sensitivity in Agaricus bisporus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Advanced button mushroom cultivars that are less sensitive to mechanical bruising are required by the mushroom industry, where automated harvesting still cannot be used for the fresh mushroom market.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
