Distraction osteogenesis of the lower extremity with use of monolateral external fixation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We reviewed the results of distraction osteogenesis of 114 femora and 147 tibiae that had been lengthened to treat a variety of diagnoses. The femora had been lengthened an average of eleven centimeters (range, 3.5 to 17.0 centimeters), or 48 per cent ...

3D Elastomeric Kirigami for Passively Stretchable Fully Soft Vacuum‐Powered Artificial Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The creation of purely soft, passively stretchable artificial muscles has long been a hot topic in robotics research. Here, we present a design approach involving the extension of 2D kirigami to 3D elastomeric kirigami structures. In a biomimetic demonstration of the human upper arm, this approach successfully simulated the driving mechanism ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...
