Bioinspired Design, Fabrication, and Wing Morphing of 3D‐Printed Magnetic Butterflies

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the remarkable flight of monarch butterflies, lightweight, 3D‐printed magnetic butterflies are fabricated that mimic natural wing morphing without embedded electronics. By varying size, vein patterns, and laser energy in powder bed fusion printing, how these factors enhance deformation efficiency is shown.

Charting the landscape of the environmental exposome

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
We describe the biological and chemical components of the environmental exposomes in three major environmental matrices that are highly relevant to human and social‐economical health—air, soil, and water. We discuss how different exposome components can interact with each other. Finally, we propose a list of outstanding challenges to be tackled to push

A Soft Wearable Robot with an Adjustable Twisted String Actuator and a Two‐Stage Transmission Mechanism for Manual Handling Tasks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a soft wearable robot (WeaRo) to assist workers while executing manual handling tasks. With its innovative design, the WeaRo effectively assists multiple body parts during manual handling tasks while using a single motor. Furthermore, the components of the WeaRo are assembled onto a fabric‐based suit, ensuring high performance and

Postural Control and Balance in Ankylosing Spondylitis

Medicine Science | International Medical Journal, 2015
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by inflammatory back pain and the formation of syndesmophytes which lead to ankylosis. Postural deviation in AS patients is caused by increased thoracic kyphosis and hip flexion which then causes the centre of body weight to shift anteriorally. As a compensation mechanism, knee

Real‐Time Motion Generation for Robot Manipulators in Complex Dynamic Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A motion generation method for robot manipulators in complex dynamic environments is presented. The method integrates global motion planning with local obstacle avoidance, ensuring continuous movement toward dynamically measured target poses. An online distance calculation algorithm is developed, and a collision‐free motion generator is proposed that ...
