Controllable Dynamic Mechanical Cell Stimulation using Magnetically Actuated Artificial Cilia
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This paper introduces a platform based on magnetic artificial cilia for providing controllable dynamic mechanical stimulation to single cells, suitable for investigating large cell populations and enabling live cell imaging. Proof‐of‐principle experiments show that cell morphology is strongly influenced by the artificial cilia, that cellular forces can

Elastic Pectoral Fin Actuators for Biomimetic Underwater Vehicle
Journal of the Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers, 2007 This paper describes the development of two new types of pectoral fins made of elastic materials. The fins were designed to have flexibility and multifunctionality for use not only as propulsive devices in biomimetic underwater vehicles but in other applications such as grippers, thus avoiding the environmental damage often caused by rigid fins.

Parallel elastic actuation for efficient large payload locomotion
2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2015 For legged devices, their ability of carrying payload is a necessity for a wide range of tasks. In this paper, we present a new approach of carrying payload by using a parallel elastic mechanism, which is able to carry payloads of at least 3 times of its bodyweight.
