Exoskeleton Device For Left Hemiplegia Patients With Electromyograph

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022
Abstract Loss of motion is a condition in which muscle activity in a part of the body is lost; it is also known as paralysis. Loss of motion is most commonly caused by a severe stroke, in which the blood supply to a portion of the cerebrum is cut off. Hemiplegia is a sort of loss of motion which influences half of the body, i.e., one arm

An Edible Chitosan‐Based Acoustic Sensor for Sound‐Responsive Actuation in Edible Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an edible acoustic sensor for robotic food and edible robotics. Built from a chitosan piezoelectric film between gold electrodes, the sensor enables acoustic communication through ON/OFF keying. Integrated into an edible robot with pneumatically actuated arms and neck, it responds to high‐frequency tones.
