Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation MedicinePurpose Rocking in a rocking chair may facilitate trunk muscle activation in children with spinal cord injury (SCI). To assess this, children with SCI and typically developing (TD) children were evaluated for increases in trunk muscle activation, muscle ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce a novel method combining microfluidics, optogenetics, and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to encapsulate single iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC‐CMs) in an optimal environment for functional characterization. This method enables direct genotype‐phenotype correlation for genetic studies and high‐throughput screening ...

Modelling of rocking structures in a centrifuge
, 2018 Structural rocking and foundation rocking are two design strategies to provide seismic base isolation. Two building models designed to exhibit each rocking behaviour respectively, were tested simultaneously in a centrifuge under earthquake loading.

Data-Centric EngineeringThe seismic response of a wide variety of structures, from small but irreplaceable museum exhibits to large bridge systems, is characterized by rocking. In addition, rocking motion is increasingly being used as a seismic protective strategy to limit the ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.

Free Dynamics of Multi-Block Rocking Assemblies
, 2017 Rocking systems are increasingly being investigated for use as base-isolators in structural engineering applications. Unfortunately these systems present complicated, piecewise defined, kinematic relationships between their generalized coordinates ...

Toward Mechanical Intelligence in Robotics
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robots can use their physical bodies to perform functions usually assigned to electronic sensors and controllers. This perspective defines mechanical intelligence through three core operations: filtering inputs, routing mechanical signals, and switching between states.
