Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,

The Effect of Mechanical Loading on Sprouting Angiogenesis from Engineered Macro‐vessel Model

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
A stretchable macro‐vessel model embedded in collagen is subjected to distinct mechanical loading profiles to study sprouting angiogenesis. Finite element analysis maps strain distributions, revealing that lateral stretch enhances sprouting and alignment, while longitudinal stretch inhibits it.
