Characteristics of a Pneumatic Bellows Actuator for Colonoscopy
International Journal of Automation Technology, 2016 Since colonoscopic insertion requires a high level of skill on the part of the examining physician, the patient may experience pain if the physician is not so highly skilled. In this study, our objective is to realize an easy-to-execute endoscopic insertion that does not rely on the physician’s skill.

BI-DIRECTIONAL FLEXIBLE PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR
Proceedings of the JFPS International Symposium on Fluid Power, 2002 This paper features the development of a double-effect deformable actuator, conceived as the synthesis of a fluid muscle actuator and a pneumatic spring. The actuator is therefore able to exert both compression and tension forces. The paper describes the scheme of the actuator and the design solution adopted.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Metallic microparticles dispersed in liquid metal interconnects mitigate electromigration‐induced failure by reconfiguring internal current density distributions. These fillers facilitate the growth of a robust, protective gallium oxide shell at elevated temperatures, shifting the failure threshold toward a thermal limit.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in
