The Nijdam voice prosthesis:A self-retaining valveless voice prosthesis for vocal rehabilitation after total laryngectomy

open access: yes, 1996
Voice prosthesis-assisted speech rehabilitation after total laryngectomy has proven to be successful in the majority of patients and exceeds the results of traditional oesophageal speech. Nevertheless 10-30% failure rates are still reported. In part this

Artificial structures for human‐machine interfaces with closed‐loop interaction

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Artificial structures bridge sensing and feedback in closed‐loop human‐machine interfaces by providing geometry‐enabled mechanical and functional programmability. This review maps the role of artificial structures in diverse sensing modalities and feedback strategies, and illustrates their integration into closed‐loop interaction systems, highlighting ...

Engineering an artificial trachea: Quantitative benchmarks and modular strategies for mechanics, epithelialization, and vascular integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.

Stretchable and energy‐efficient neuromorphic devices based on ionic capacitance for robotic tactile recognition

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromorphic devices with learning and memory functions are critical for enabling human‐like tactile perception and interactive control in humanoid robots. However, existing neuromorphic platforms often struggle to reconcile mechanical flexibility with energy efficiency due to material and mechanism constraints.
