4D Mapping of ZIF Biocomposites for High Protein Loading and Tunable Release Profiles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Systematic four‐dimensional mapping of zeolitic imidazolate framework biocomposites reveals how precursor ratios, total concentration, and washing define crystalline phase, protein loading, and release kinetics. This comprehensive study identifies conditions yielding record loading (∼85%) and precise phase–property correlations.

Exoskeletons for all: The interplay between exoskeletons, inclusion, gender, and intersectionality [PDF]

Paladyn, Journal of Behavioral Robotics, 2020
AbstractIn this article, we investigate the relation between gender and exoskeleton development through the lens of intersectionality theory. Exoskeleton users come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and genders. However, it is often the case that wearable robot engineers do not develop such devices primarily on the premise that the product should fit

Physical Intelligence in Small‐Scale Robots and Machines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Physical intelligence” (PI) empowers biological organisms and artificial machines, especially at the small scales, to perceive, adapt, and even reshape their complex, dynamic, and unstructured operation environments. This review summarizes recent milestones and future directions of PI in small‐scale robots and machines.

Muscle Synergy Alteration of Human During Walking With Lower Limb Exoskeleton

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Muscle synergy reflects inherent coordination patterns of muscle groups as the human body finishes required movements. It may be still unknown whether the original muscle synergy of subjects may alter or not when exoskeletons are put on during their ...
