Magnetic Fluid‐Driven Vine Robots for Minimally Invasive Tissue Biopsy Sampling

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a magnetic fluid‐powered vine robot for minimally invasive biopsies. The robot uses fluid pressurization for locomotion and external magnetic fields for precise steering. Its soft structure and high magnetic volume ensure controlled movements and stabilization, enabling effective tissue penetration.

Slow twitch paraspinal muscle dysregulation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis exhibiting HIF‐2α misexpression

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
This study indicates an association of abnormal HIF‐2α expression in paraspinal myoblasts and a disproportionate slow twitch muscle fiber content in the convexity of the curvature in a sub‐set of AIS subjects, suggesting HIF‐2α dysregulation as a possible risk factor for AIS. The role of HIF‐2α in paraspinal muscle function during spinal growth and its

Cloud‐Based Control System with Sensing and Actuating Textile‐Based IoT Gloves for Telerehabilitation Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Using cloud computing technology, a telerehabilitation application allows patients to perform exercises remotely. Sensor data from a textile‐based IoT glove is processed in the cloud and transmitted as exercise commands to an actuating T‐IoT glove worn by patients.

Towards Unconstrained Collision Injury Protection Data Sets: Initial Surrogate Experiments for the Human Hand [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Safety for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is a major concern for all application domains. While current standardization for industrial robot applications provide safety constraints that address the onset of pain in blunt impacts, these impact thresholds are difficult to use on edged or pointed impactors.

Active Auxetic Heel Support for Achilles Tendon Therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Achilles tendon, which stretches from the calf to the ankle, can be injured due to repeated daily activities or overstretching. In severe cases a tear in the tendon can prevent athletes from performing in games as well as individuals from completing ...

A Wearable Soft Actuator for Directional Tactile Stimulation: Design and Testing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A wearable actuator able to produce directional tactile stimulation is obtained by embedding a planar shape memory spring in silicone matrix. The matrix is designed taking into account skin characteristics and leveraging its multifunctionality: it acts as a bias load, improves the thermal behavior of the spring and wearability.
