, 2018 Our hands are very important in our daily life. They are used for non-verbal communication and sensory feedback, but are also important to perform both fine (e.g. picking up paperclips) and gross (e.g. lifting heavy boxes) motor tasks. Decline of hand function in older adults as a result of age-related loss of muscle mass (i.e.

Dynamic Current Routing in Conductive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Complex Deformation Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This work introduces a novel actuation control strategy in which electrical stimulation generates localized Joule heating in conductive liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) surfaces, enabling complex 3D deformations from a single homogeneous surface without preprogramming.

3D Printing of Stretchable, Compressible and Conductive Porous Polyurethane for Soft Robotics
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A 3D‐printable porous dopamine‐polyurethane acrylate elastomer results in conductive, stretchable, and compressible structures that can be metallized in situ through catechol‐mediated silver reduction. The resulting material function as both compliant soft robot with a and strain sensors without complex assemblies, enabling fully 3D‐printed soft ...

Design and Evaluation of a Bowden-Cable-Based Remote Actuation System for Wearable Robotics
Wearable robots can assist motor-impaired individuals in activities of daily living, but weight is paramount for usability. Proximally placed actuators and remote actuation systems (RAS) minimize weight on users' extremities.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...
