Facial expression of pain: an evolutionary account. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This paper proposes that human expression of pain in the presence or absence of caregivers, and the detection of pain by observers, arises from evolved propensities. The function of pain is to demand attention and prioritise escape, recovery, and healing;

Piezoresistivity Enhancement by Graphite Flake Alignment in Thin Composite Films for Dielectric Elastomer Switches

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

West Michigan Stock Returns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
It should surprise no one that stock returns for 2008 were horrible across most industries and regions. Stock prices mostly reflect two major factors: the ability of companies to earn money, and the degree of investor optimism.

An AI‐Enabled All‐In‐One Visual, Proximity, and Tactile Perception Multimodal Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Targeting integrated multimodal perception of robots, an AI‐enabled all‐in‐one multimodal sensor is proposed. This sensor is capable of perceiving three types of modalities, including vision, proximity, and tactility. By toggling an ultraviolet light and adjusting the camera focus, it switches smoothly between multiple perceptual modalities, enabling ...

Looser’s Zone in Bilateral Hip Joint in a Young Female-A Case Report

open access: yesIndian Journal of Pain
Looser’s zones are also known as cortical infarctions, Milkman lines, or pseudo fractures. Looser’s zones are transverse lucencies with sclerotic borders which are perpendicular to the cortex traversing partway in the bone.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis

open access: yesJournal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2014
Background: A 10-year-old boy presented with a 4-week history of limping gait and right knee pain. The patient did not have a fever. Physical examination revealed limited range of motion of the right hip.

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Removal of a Broken Intramedullary Femoral Nail by Transarticular Retrograde Technique—A Case Report and Review of Literature

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, 2011
We report a 20-year-old Chinese female who presented with severe limping because of nonunion of her right proximal femoral fracture. The radiographs showed an intramedullary femoral nail fractured through one of its proximal locking holes.

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.
