A Soft‐Tip Hydraulically Steerable Catheter for Enhanced Flexibility and Safety in Vascular Interventions

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hydraulically steerable catheter with a soft tip in vascular procedures. The steering soft tip achieves a minimal diameter of 2.6 mm and supports a 180° bend. Real‐time shape and position tracking, facilitated by segmentation and endpoint detection techniques, improves navigation.

Torque‐Transmitting Architected Metamaterials for Flexible and Extendable Tubular Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft and continuum robots commonly rely on fluid, tendon, or rod‐based power transmissions, to control robotic form and actuation. This study presents an architected structure, based on patterned straight‐line mechanisms, that enables simultaneous bending, extending, and torsionally rigid (BETR) transmission.

Randomized preclinical study of machine perfusion in vascularized composite allografts

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
This study was designed to identify the optimum machine perfusion parameters for preservation of limbs before transplantation, and determine whether this was better than cold storage. Normothermic machine perfusion at a pressure of 70 mmHg (NMP‐70) provided superior preservation to cold storage after transplantation.

Non-viral gene transfer to the tendon: comparison of two methods

open access: yesClinical and Biomedical Research, 2012
Background: tendons are part of the connective tissue that joins muscle to bone. Tendon injuries are a problem, since they have a poor ability to regenerate spontaneously.

A Miniature Rotary Electrostatic Clutch for Assigning Multi‐Degrees of Freedom to Insect‐Scale Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Insect‐scale crawling robots can traverse confined environments; nevertheless, their functionalities are predominantly restricted to sensing because of challenges in integrating actuated degrees of freedom. Herein, a miniature rotary electrostatic clutch is presented by incorporating cutting patterns in the clutch layer.

Bridging High‐Fidelity Simulations and Physics‐Based Learning using a Surrogate Model for Soft Robot Control

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A surrogate‐model‐based framework is proposed for combining high‐fidelity finite element method and efficient physics simulations to enable fast, accurate soft robot simulation for reinforcement learning, validated through sim‐to‐real experiments. Soft robotics holds immense promise for applications requiring adaptability and compliant interactions ...
