Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Robotic Control for Human–Robot Collaborative Assembly Based on Digital Human Model and Reinforcement Learning

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a robotic control method for human–robot collaborative assembly based on a biomechanics‐constrained digital human model. Reinforcement learning is used to generate physiologically plausible human motion trajectories, which are integrated into a virtual environment for robot control learning.

Limited open repair for achilles tendon rupture in the setting of co-morbidities: A case series and technique review

Foot & Ankle Surgery: Techniques, Reports & Cases
An acute Achilles tendon rupture poses a difficult treatment strategy in both young and old patients. Commonly considered an injury of the middle aged “weekend warrior,” an Achilles tendon tear in a sedentary patient is quite debilitating.

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

Arthroscopic “Mini-Incision” Transtendon Repair Combined With Tri-Anchor Double-Pulley Suture-Bridge Repair of PASTA Lesion

Arthroscopy Techniques
Currently, transtendon repair is a popular way to treat PASTA (partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion) lesions. However, tendon trauma on the bursal layer, which may cause tendon retear, is a defect of transtendon repair.

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.
