Towards Advanced Intelligent and Perceptive Soft Grippers

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Implementing soft yet strong and intelligent soft grippers request innovative and creative solutions in designing soft bodies and seamlessly integrating actuated systems with hierarchical sensing. This review systematically analyses soft grippers with a deep understanding of core components, from fundamental design principles to actuation and sensing ...

Speckle Skin‐Based Multimodal Tactile Perception for Fine Robotic Manipulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
SpeckleTac, a miniature vision‐based tactile sensor, utilizes a speckle‐pattern skin and optical flow‐based scalable virtual marker tracking. Combined with advanced algorithms, it achieves high‐resolution 3D surface reconstruction, precise contact perception, and stable grasping capabilities.

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Semi-Active Actuators for Gravity Compensation with Application to Exoskeletons [PDF]

Gravity compensation is a well-established technique in robotic design to maintain balance throughout the range of motion while reducing actuator loads. Existing solutions can be classified into three categories: passive, active, and semi-active systems.

Complexity Analysis of Bubble Plumes in Power Law Fluids Based on Chaos Theory

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In order to reveal the complexity of the internal flow of bubble plume in power law fluid, the flow characteristics and chaotic characteristics of plume are studied by experiment and theory. The chaotic characteristic parameters (correlation dimension D, K entropy, and Lyapunov exponent λ) of gas velocity under different superficial gas ...

Assessing User Transparency with Muscle Synergies during Exoskeleton-Assisted Movements: A Pilot Study on the LIGHTarm Device for Neurorehabilitation

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2018
Exoskeleton devices for upper limb neurorehabilitation are one of the most exploited solutions for the recovery of lost motor functions. By providing weight support, passively compensated exoskeletons allow patients to experience upper limb training ...

PEG Alternatives in Liposomal Nanocarriers: Physicochemical Characteristics and Sustainable Process Strategies

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global trend toward sustainable and intensified bioprocesses is driving innovation in the design and scalable synthesis of liposomal nanocarriers, a cornerstone of modern drug delivery. For decades, these nanosystems have relied exclusively on polyethylene glycol (PEG) for their sustained circulation in vivo, but they are currently ...

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Activism as education in and through the youth climate justice movement

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Young people worldwide are increasingly participating in a global movement for climate justice, yet to date, little research has examined how youth climate justice activists conceive of and experience activism as education. The present study used in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews with 16 US climate justice activists (aged 15–17) to address ...
