Predicting Muscle Thickness Deformation from Muscle Activation Patterns: A Dual-Attention Framework [PDF]
arXivUnderstanding the relationship between muscle activation and thickness deformation is critical for diagnosing muscle-related diseases and monitoring muscle health. Although ultrasound technique can measure muscle thickness change during muscle movement, its application in portable devices is limited by wiring and data collection challenges.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience bladder overactivity, which can cause incontinence. Dorsal genital nerve stimulation (DGNS) can suppress overactivity, providing a longer duration to reach a toilet. People with SCI trialed home‐based DGNS for 8 weeks. DGNS was effective in the laboratory, and participants found home‐based DGNS acceptable.

Patterned Structure Muscle : Arbitrary Shaped Wire-driven Artificial Muscle Utilizing Anisotropic Flexible Structure for Musculoskeletal Robots [PDF]
arXivMuscles of the human body are composed of tiny actuators made up of myosin and actin filaments. They can exert force in various shapes such as curved or flat, under contact forces and deformations from the environment. On the other hand, muscles in musculoskeletal robots so far have faced challenges in generating force in such shapes and environments ...

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Stimulation spreads across electrode arrays using continuous hydrogel for the electrode‐skin interface, causing lower current densities over larger areas. A new approach was developed, modeled, and tested, utilizing discontinuous patterned hydrogel to improve inter‐electrode resistance on electrode arrays.
