International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015 Introduction Hearing loss is one of the most common problems in the elderly population. Besides compromising oral communication, it directly affects social relations and prevents elderly patients from living actively in society, possibly leading to the ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Mutual Adaptation and Influence: Review of Latent Dynamics Models in Human–Robot Interaction
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robots are becoming better teammates by learning hidden patterns in how people act. This review covers how state‐of‐the‐art approaches leverage these patterns to help robots not only react but also anticipate and guide cooperation. Here, we synthesize a unifying framework for these approaches, classify and review existing works, and highlight key ...

Conservation laws with local flux constraints arising in traffic flow modeling*
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2014 Specific traffic flow conditions, such as the presence of toll gates, construction sites or moving bottlenecks caused by slow moving vehicles, can be realistically modeled by conservation laws with local unilateral constraints on the ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The pre‐regenerative vascular niche (PVN) is essential for nerve repair, yet its endothelial blueprint remains unclear. We identified angiogenic ECs (AECs) as the dominant pre‐regenerative subset and found that antler blood–derived exosomes (AB‐EXO) promote repair via IMP3.

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A portable, sensorized, and controlled dexterous thumb‐enhanced glove helps stroke survivors swipe phones, twist caps, and perform other tasks. It is based on a powerful continuously, segmented origami dual chamber actuator to achieve active thumb CMC and MCP joint assistance and passively extend the IP joint.

Perceived Time Shapes Physical Fatigue Accumulation and Its Neural Oscillatory Correlates
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Can a clock change the course of physical fatigue? By covertly manipulating the clock calibration during repeated isometric contractions, we showed that perceived time shapes fatigue accumulation and frontal oscillatory dynamics. While fatigue accumulation was only reduced when the clock was slowed down, frontal oscillatory dynamics followed perceived ...

Usability of Haptic Volumetric Assistance for Surgical Navigation Tasks
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2021 Manual control of surgical instruments represents a sensorimotor control task with at least 3-6 degrees of freedom (DoF). The impact of haptic guidance on volumetric navigation tasks, such as milling of planned volumes for prosthesis fits or preserving ...
