Biomimetic Robotics and Intelligence: A Survey

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Biomimetic robotics and intelligence, inspired by biological systems, integrate biology, engineering, and AI, develops robots capable of adapting to complex environments. By mimicking natural structures and cognitive processes, and employing algorithms like neural networks and genetic algorithms, these systems enhance autonomy and problem‐solving. This

Sensor Fusion for Predictive Control of Human-Prosthesis-Environment Dynamics in Assistive Walking: A Survey [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
This survey paper concerns Sensor Fusion for Predictive Control of Human-Prosthesis-Environment Dynamics in Assistive Walking. The powered lower limb prosthesis can imitate the human limb motion and help amputees to recover the walking ability, but it is still a challenge for amputees to walk in complex environments with the powered prosthesis ...

Facile Design of Highly Stretchable and Conductive Crumpled Graphene/NiS2 Films for Multifunctional Applications

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
A scalable, low‐cost fabrication approach is reported to directly create and pattern crumpled porous graphene/NiS2 nanocomposites with high mechanical stretchability and electrical conductivity through laser irradiation combined with electrodeposition and a pre‐strain strategy. This novel synthetic approach holds promise for a variety of bio‐integrated

A case of aseptic loosening after total knee replacement with porous-coated mega prosthesis despite progression of extra bone growth

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports
Total knee replacement with mega prosthesis for periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty is related to early functional recovery, but aseptic loosening of the implant has been a major reoperation factor in the long-term outcome of total ...

Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a Variable Stiffness Transradial Hand Prosthesis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
We present the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of a low-cost, customizable, easy-to-use transradial hand prosthesis capable of adapting its compliance. Variable stiffness actuation (VSA) of the prosthesis is based on antagonistically arranged tendons coupled to nonlinear springs driven through a Bowden cable-based power transmission.

Stimulation of the withdrawal reflex in gait training after stroke: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Nociceptive withdrawal reflex elicited by electrical stimulation via one pair of stimulation electrodes. • Activating leg flexor muscles via reflex‐based circuits can be used to facilitate locomotion and support gait rehabilitation. • Three studies were included in this review, two of these in meta‐analyses.

Development and Evaluation of a Powered Artificial Gastrocnemius for Transtibial Amputee Gait

open access: yesJournal of Robotics, 2018
Existing robotic transtibial prostheses provide only ankle joint actuation and do not restore biarticular function of the gastrocnemius muscle. This paper presents the first powered biarticular transtibial prosthesis, which is a combination of a ...
