Variable Stiffness Flexure Structures Enabled by Phase‐Change Gallium and Adhesive Interfacial Locking for Soft Robotic Applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A flexure‐based variable stiffness structure is developed by integrating phase‐change modulation and adhesive interfacial locking of gallium. The design enables a wide stiffness variability, transitioning from soft, flexible behavior to rigid, load‐supporting performance.

Postural Stabilization of a Unicycle.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 1996
We describe a postural stabilization of a unicycle which has a swinging arm to stabilize rolling motion. The equations of motion for a nonholonomic constraint system are derived, and the equations are linearized and separated into two subsystems which are associated with pitching and rolling motions.

An All‐Textile, Mechano‐Capacitive Subtle Movement Sensor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A robust all‐textile capacitive sensor is introduced for measuring subtle body movements without long‐term degradation. By separating mechanical deformation from electrical sensing elements, accuracy, responsiveness, and durability are improved. Simple fabrication methods are presented, electrode effects are analyzed, and performance is validated ...

The test-retest reliability of centre of pressure measures in bipedal static task conditions - A systematic review of the literature [PDF]

, 2009
Summary of background data: The analysis of centre of pressure (COP) excursions is used as an index of postural stability in standing. Conflicting data have been reported over the past 20 years regarding the reliability of COP measures and no standard ...

Impact of cognitive tasks on postural stability in young and older adults

The Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology
Background Postural stability requires coordination of the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems. Cognitive tasks can divert attention from maintaining posture, potentially reducing body sway and fall risk.
