Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

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

Tendon Transfers in Shoulder Arthroplasty
This chapter describes the indications, surgical techniques, and outcomes of tendon transfers in the setting of (revision) shoulder arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is effective in improving forward elevation and abduction, but rotation after RSA is less predictable.

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

Treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears by different surgical technigues: comparative analysis of early outcomes [PDF]
Background. Massive rotator cuff tears are up to 40% and can progress to the stage of irreparable ones. Nowadays, there are many treatment options available for irreparable rotator cuff injuries, from conservative treatment and arthroscopic ...
