Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Time History Gaussian Process Regression for Modeling the Dynamics of Ankle Exoskeleton User Comfort
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Exoskeletons need to be comfortable, but the perception of comfort may change over time. This study investigated if short‐term time history directly influences comfort. No previous trials’ input features were predictive of comfort. Including the previous trial's comfort score marginally improved model accuracy compared to a model using only the current
