Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Exhaustion is associated with reduced habituation of free cortisol responses to repeated acute psychosocial stress

open access: yes, 2006
We investigated the association between exhaustion and the habituation of free cortisol responses to repeated stress exposure. The study comprised 25 healthy male subjects (38-59 years) who were confronted three times with the Trier Social Stress Test ...

Time History Gaussian Process Regression for Modeling the Dynamics of Ankle Exoskeleton User Comfort

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Exoskeletons need to be comfortable, but the perception of comfort may change over time. This study investigated if short‐term time history directly influences comfort. No previous trials’ input features were predictive of comfort. Including the previous trial's comfort score marginally improved model accuracy compared to a model using only the current

Compassion Fatigue or Ethics Exhaustion? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Compassion Fatigue or Ethics Exhaustion? In veterinary practice, the diagnosis is critical for proper treatment. Different diseases can cause the same symptoms, and while palliative treatment is sometimes necessary, ideally we want prevention or cure. In

Dual‐Mode Gripper With Suction and Shape‐Adaptive Freezing Grasps

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study presents a dual‐mode robotic gripper that combines vacuum suction with a shape‐adaptive freezing grasp. The freezing mode uses a compliant rubber membrane, a sprayed water layer, and dry‐ice powder to generate ice‐mediated adhesion while conforming to complex geometries.

Robotic Assistants in the Operating Room: A Systematic Review of Vision‐Based Systems for Nonoperative Tasks

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review brings together 20 publications describing 11 robotic system families developed for instrument handling, sterile‐package opening, supply delivery, and operating room logistics. Perception is becoming more capable through deep learning and language‐guided control, but autonomy remains limited, evidence is largely laboratory‐based, and no ...
