Torque‐Transmitting Architected Metamaterials for Flexible and Extendable Tubular Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft and continuum robots commonly rely on fluid, tendon, or rod‐based power transmissions, to control robotic form and actuation. This study presents an architected structure, based on patterned straight‐line mechanisms, that enables simultaneous bending, extending, and torsionally rigid (BETR) transmission.

Multi-objective optimization design and reliability analysis of idler with hollow step-shaft

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2019
Idlers, one of the important parts of belt conveyors, are substantial and constitute approximately one-third of the equipment cost. Therefore, idlers in conveyor systems must be optimized.

Ultra‐Efficient Kidney Stone Fragment Removal via Spinner‐Induced Synergistic Circulation and Spiral Flow

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Leveraging spinning‐induced localized suction, the spinner device enables ultra‐efficient removal of kidney stone fragments, capturing a larger quantity of fragments from distances exceeding 20 mm. The spinner significantly improves the efficiency and effectiveness of stone fragment removal by reducing operative time, increasing stone‐free rates, and ...
