Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

A Brain for Speech. Evolutionary Continuity in Primate and Human Auditory-Vocal Processing
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 In this review article, I propose a continuous evolution from the auditory-vocal apparatus and its mechanisms of neural control in non-human primates, to the peripheral organs and the neural control of human speech.

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.
