Biomechanics‐Based User‐Adaptive Variable Impedance Control for Enhanced Physical Human–Robot Interaction Using Bayesian Optimization

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2025.
This article introduces a biomechanics‐based, user‐adaptive variable impedance controller aimed at enhancing the overall performance of coupled human–robot systems during motion. The improvements span accuracy, speed, user effort, smoothness, and user preference during physical human–robot interaction (pHRI).

Magnetic Actuation for Mechanomedicine

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2025.
In this perspective, the emergence of magneto‐mechanical actuation systems in biomedical research and mechanomedicine is explored. These materials, ranging from single particles to 3D scaffolds, enable dynamic and remote modulation of cellular processes. By mechanically simulating physiological and pathological processes, these systems offer a new path

Gait Perception via Actual and Estimated Pneumatic Physical Reservoir Output

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2025.
The authors introduce a self‐estimated physical reservoir computing (SEPRC) model for improved gait perception in wearable power‐assist limb devices. The new approach enhances traditional PRC models by combining actual and estimated physical reservoir outputs for subsequence processing.
