Design, Simulation and Functional Testing of a Novel Ankle Exoskeleton with 3DOFs

Sensors
This paper presents a study on developing a new exoskeleton for ankle joint rehabilitation with three degrees of freedom (3 DOFs). The primary attention is paid to the process of designing and modelling the device aimed at restoring the lost functions of

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

Preliminary Evaluation of Intelligent Intention Estimation Algorithms for an Actuated Lower-Limb Exoskeleton

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
This paper describes the experimental testing of an actuated lower-limb exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is designed to alleviate the loading at the knee joint by supplying assistive torque.

Exoskeleton‐assisted physiotherapy in school and outpatient contexts for minimally ambulant children with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim To assess the clinical feasibility of lower‐limb pediatric exoskeleton‐assisted (Trexo Plus) physiotherapy for minimally ambulatory children at an outpatient center and a primary school. Secondary aims were to assess associated functional and goal‐based outcomes before and after Trexo‐based physiotherapy.

Mechanism Design of a Novel Device to Facilitate Mobility, Sit-to-Stand Transfer Movement, and Walking Assistance

Machines
To assist patients with lower limb dysfunction in mobility, standing, and walking, this paper proposes a novel device that integrates the functions of lower limb exoskeleton, wheelchair, and sit-to-stand (STS) transfer assistance. We designed a 10-degree-

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

In‐vitro puncture experiment using alligator teeth tracks the formation of dental microwear and its association with hardness of the diet

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2424-2441, September 2026.
Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

A novel underactuated exoskeleton rehabilitation glove for hand flexion and extension training

Biomimetic Intelligence and Robotics
In recent years, the number of stroke patients worldwide has been steadily increasing, with approximately 70% of survivors experiencing upper limb dysfunction, particularly severe impairment of fine motor skills in the hand. This limitation significantly
