Effect of a virtual walking and therapeutic exercise‐based intervention on gait and balance in people with incomplete spinal cord injury

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience sensory and motor impairments that often require exercise‐based treatments. However, these interventions are challenging due to limited active mobility. Novel rehabilitation approaches, such as those targeting the mirror neuron system, could offer additional benefits.

Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.

A Design Specifications Template for Wearable Haptic Interfaces: A Case Study for Robotic Gripper Applications

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wearable haptic interfaces are increasingly important for enhancing human robot collaboration, particularly in decision critical tasks that require intuitive and reliable interaction. Despite advances in wearable systems, existing designs often lack a structured framework that systematically integrates sensing, actuation, control, and user ...

A Mechanical Exoskeleton

open access: yes, 2016
The purpose of this thesis is to design a 3-D exoskeleton model based on the mechanism of a kind of two degree-of-freedom suspension system. There are two main systems in the exoskeleton, including weight support system and walking assistive system.

Upper-limb exoskeleton for human muscle fatigue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Human muscle fatigue is identified as one of the causes to musculuskeletal disorder (MSD). The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of an exoskeleton in dealing with muscle fatigue in a virtual environment.

A Multi‐Method Approach to Assessing Barrier Effectiveness in Preventing the Spread of Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus)

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Relieving barriers and increasing free flowing rivers is a global imperative to restore habitat connectivity for migratory fish stocks. While reducing river fragmentation will certainly improve biodiversity, the spread of non‐native species throughout a river system may be facilitated as an inadvertent outcome.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.
