Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Touch engages visual spatial contextual processing

Scientific Reports, 2018
The spatial context in which we view a visual stimulus strongly determines how we perceive the stimulus. In the visual tilt illusion, the perceived orientation of a visual grating is affected by the orientation signals in its surrounding context ...

Measurement of Tactile Sensation Using Sensor System for Collecting Tactile Information

TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 2007
This paper presents the measurement of tactile sensation using a sensor system for collecting tactile information. First, various tactile feelings of fabrics are collected through a questionnaire based on the paired comparison semantic differential method. Furthermore, the factor analysis is introduced to evaluate and classify the feelings.

Towards more tactile information on sliders [PDF]

Proceedings of the 31st Conference on l'Interaction Homme-Machine, 2019
Sliders are ubiquitous in everyday environment, whether on our mobile devices or in objects such as the control of a sound system. The tactile feedback they offer is still very limited, even though we often use them eyes-free. In order to inform the design of the sliders' tactile information in the future, we present a qualitative study showing how ...

Dexterous manipulation of unknown objects using virtual contact points [PDF]

, 2019
The manipulation of unknown objects is a problem of special interest in robotics since it is not always possible to have exact models of the objects with which the robot interacts. This paper presents a simple strategy to manipulate unknown objects using

Multimodal Mechanical Testing of Additively Manufactured Ti6Al4V Lattice Structures: Compression, Bending, and Fatigue

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this experimental study, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti‐6Al‐4V lattice structures of different geometries are characterized using compression, four point bending and fatigue testing. While TPMS designs show superior fatigue resistance, SplitP and Honeycomb lattice structures combine high stiffness and strength. The resulting

Effects of visual information regarding tactile stimulation on the somatosensory cortical activation: a functional MRI study

Neural Regeneration Research, 2017
Many studies have investigated the evidence for tactile and visual interactive responses to activation of various brain regions. However, few studies have reported on the effects of visuo-tactile multisensory integration on the amount of brain activation

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.
