Shear‐Isolating Actuation System for Exosuit Using Movable Pulley With Webbing‐Driven Mechanism

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Tendon‐driven exosuits can chafe the skin because the moving tendon slides against the wearer. A shear‐isolating actuation system combining a movable pulley with flat‐profile webbing keeps the body‐contacting tendon layer stationary, relocating relative motion away from the skin. The compact 145‐g actuator delivers 150 N of assistance, and benchtop and

Assessment of the Extent of Implementation of Quality Management System (QMS) and Cost of Quality (COQ) Concepts – A Case from a Developing Country

The Journal of Engineering Research, 2017
In developed countries, the application of the quality management system (QMS) is widely proven. However, in developing countries, like Pakistan, industries are not mature enough to understand and implement the system. The aim of this study is to examine

Negative Gauge Factor Piezoresistance in Soft Strain and Pressure Sensors: Mechanisms, Materials, and Emerging Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Negative‐gauge‐factor materials reverse the usual rule of piezoresistive sensing: their resistance falls, rather than rises, under deformation. This review organizes such behavior into four mechanistic classes spanning intrinsic semiconductors, composites, conducting polymers, and engineered architectures.

Sports Activity Recognition Using Textile‐Based Sensor Fusion and Complex‐Valued Residual Convolutional Neural Networks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion artifacts in electrocardiographic signals, conventionally dismissed as noise, are shown to encode discriminative activity information. A smart t‐shirt fusing textile strain sensors with textile ECG electrodes, processed through a complex‐valued residual network, recognizes 12 sport activities.

An Integrated Fabric‐Pneumatic Soft Sensing System for Multi‐Site Muscle Activity Decoding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabric‐pneumatic chambers convert muscle deformation into pressure signals without electronics at the body‐contact sensing interface. A unified processing pipeline enables static posture classification, continuous elbow‐angle estimation, forearm gesture recognition, and knee‐movement detection across three anatomical sites.

Hybrid Granular–Elastomer Jamming With Confinement‐Mediated Stiffening

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A granular–elastomer hybrid jamming medium enables isotropic, repeatable stiffness modulation by exploiting vacuum‐induced confinement of an elastomeric network rather than particle friction. The actuator supports large 3D deformations (bending, folding, and twisting), retains programmed shapes when unjammed, and achieves an ~8× stiffness increase and ...

Reverse Haptic Alerting: Human‐Centered Intelligent Systems That Turn Chemical and Biomedical Signals Into Felt Cues

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Wearable sensors usually warn through sight or sound, channels that become unreliable under protective equipment or in noise. Reverse haptic alerting inverts this flow: Stimuli‐responsive materials convert chemical and biological signals into cues felt through the skin, while a machine‐learned digital twin of tactile perception personalizes the body ...
