Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Muscle Control of an Extra Robotic Digit

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study compares muscle‐ and movement‐based control for operating a supernumerary robotic thumb. While movement control performs better in the proposed tasks, muscle‐based (EMG) control promotes broader motor learning. The results highlight the promise and challenges of using biosignals for human augmentation, offering new insights into intuitive ...

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

Quantitative refinement and multicentre psychometric validation of the Chinese total knee arthroplasty patient-reported outcome measure: a prospective cohort study with repeated measures

The Lancet Regional Health. Western Pacific
Summary: Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) requires valid, culturally appropriate patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). A 35-item preliminary Chinese Total Knee Arthroplasty Patient-reported Outcome Measurement (CTP) was previously developed

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Chinese version of the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is prevalent among the elderly, often necessitating total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for severe cases. However, traditional assessment tools primarily focus on pain and physical function, neglecting the psychosocial ...

Knee adduction moment and medial contact force - facts about their correlation during gait [PDF]

, 2013
The external knee adduction moment is considered a surrogate measure for the medial tibiofemoral contact force and is commonly used to quantify the load reducing effect of orthopedic interventions. However, only limited and controversial data exist about
