Patient‐Mounted Neuro Optical Coherence Tomography for Targeted Minimally Invasive Micro‐Resolution Volumetric Imaging in Brain In Vivo

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Herein, a patient‐mounted neuro optical coherence tomography system that integrates a 5 degrees‐of‐freedom skull‐mounted robot (Skullbot) with a 0.6 mm neuroendoscope for targeted, minimally invasive deep brain imaging, is developed. The system offers high‐resolution imaging with precise deployment, demonstrated through successful tumor imaging in a ...

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Design‐for‐Benchmarking in Soft Robotics: Navigating Component‐System Dichotomy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft robotics faces a profound evaluation challenge: the Component‐System Dichotomy, where isolated component tests fail to predict integrated performance. This article presents a systematic survey of critical reporting gaps across actuation, sensing, and control.

Design and Characterization of a Dual‐Mode Soft Robotic Flapping Propeller With Pneumatic Stiffness Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel soft robotic propeller overcomes traditional efficiency‐flexibility tradeoffs via a hybrid pneumatic‐cable actuation strategy. This architecture enables active stiffness modulation with dual‐mode locomotion: tunable biomimetic swimming and earthworm‐inspired wriggling for confined spaces.

Taxonomic reassessment of fossil Sequoia and Protosequoia from the Upper Miocene of Central Honshu, Japan, with implications for leaf morphological variation in extant S. sempervirens

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Since its emergence in the Mesozoic, Sequoia (Cupressaceae) has been considered to possess conserved leaf morphology. However, recent studies have shown that the leaves of extant S. sempervirens become smaller, with a scale form, with increasing tree height.
