Autonomous Functional Locomotion in a Tendon-Driven Limb via Limited Experience [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Robots will become ubiquitously useful only when they can use few attempts to teach themselves to perform different tasks, even with complex bodies and in dynamical environments. Vertebrates, in fact, successfully use trial-and-error to learn multiple tasks in spite of their intricate tendon-driven anatomies. Roboticists find such tendon-driven systems

Enhancing Tendon Regeneration: Investigating the Impact of Topography on the Secretome of Adipose‐Derived Stem Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The impact of topography on the secretome of adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) has the potential for promoting tendon regeneration. The secretome generated from ADSCs on aligned structure has a potent effect in promoting cell migration, proliferation, tenogenic differentiation, macrophage M2 polarization, and tendon mechanical function recovery ...

Biomimetic Microstructured Scaffold with Release of Re‐Modified Teriparatide for Osteoporotic Tendon‐to‐Bone Regeneration via Balancing Bone Homeostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops RPTH by re‐modifying teriparatide and designs a biomimetic microstructured scaffold (BMRP) loaded with RPTH to address osteoporotic tendon‐to‐bone interface repair. The BMRP restores tissue architecture by balancing bone homeostasis and remodeling the microstructure, achieving functional recovery in an osteoporotic rotator cuff tear

Incorporating General Contact Surfaces in the Kinematics of Tendon-Driven Rolling-Contact Joint Mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This paper presents the first kinematic modeling of tendon-driven rolling-contact joint mechanisms with general contact surfaces subject to external loads. We derived the kinematics as a set of recursive equations and developed efficient iterative algorithms to solve for both tendon force actuation and tendon displacement actuation.

Wearable PZT Piezoelectric Sensor Device for Accurate Arterial Pressure Pulse Waveform Measurement

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a wearable device for the non‐invasive measurement of radial arterial pressure pulse waveforms, incorporating a highly sensitive flexible Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) piezoelectric sensor and an optimized tightness‐free attachment method to maximize the sensitivity.

A Novel Acoustic Wearable for Assessment of Tendon Health and Loading Condition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
The current methods of assessing tendon health such as clinical examination, imaging techniques, and implanted pressure sensors, are often based on a subjective assessment or are not accurate enough, are extremely expensive, or are limited to relatively large damage such as partial or gross tear of the tendon and cannot accurately assess and monitor ...
