Characteristics, Management, and Utilization of Muscles in Musculoskeletal Humanoids: Empirical Study on Kengoro and Musashi

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Musculoskeletal humanoids exhibit rich biomechanical properties that remain insufficiently unified in prior discussions. This article systematically categorizes muscle characteristics into five properties: redundancy, independency, anisotropy, variable moment arm, and nonlinear elasticity, and analyzes their combined effects on control.

Iterative Data Curation for Machine Learning‐Based Inverse Design of Active Composite Plates for Four‐Dimensional Printing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A machine learning framework is developed for the inverse design of 4D‐printed active composite plates. It utilizes a forward model to predict shapes from patterns and an inverse model to suggest initial patterns for desired shapes. This framework integrates a genetic algorithm to refine the predicted patterns, ensuring higher accuracy in achieving ...

A Compact, Self‐Recovering Wire Electrode Electrohydrodynamic Pump for High‐Speed McKibben Artificial Muscle Actuation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A compact and self‐recovering wire electrode electrohydrodynamic pump achieves high pressure, fast flowrate, and automatic recovery after dielectric discharge breakdowns. The pump delivers twice the power density of previous designs, and when integrated with a McKibben artificial muscle, enables tenfold faster actuation, offering a lightweight, silent,

Myoelectric Origami‐Based Soft Robotic Knee Exoskeleton to Enhance Sit‐to‐Stand Assistance in Elderly Populations

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight Miura‐origami soft knee exoskeleton powered by vacuum actuation and integrated with a multimodal physiological intent‐recognition system, providing real‐time assistance during sit‐to‐stand movement to reduce muscle effort and improve user comfort.

Optimal disability assistance when fraud and stigma matter [PDF]

I study the optimal redistributive structure when individuals with distinct productivities also differ in disutility of work due to either disability or distaste for work. Taxpayers have resentment against inactive benefit recipients because some of them
