A Cable‐Driven Parallel Wire Robot for Probe Positioning and Tissue Palpation on Curved Phantoms
A wearable cable‐driven parallel robot is introduced for autonomous ultrasound probe positioning and soft tissue palpation on curved surfaces. By combining visual feedback with tension‐optimized control, the system achieves millimeter‐scale positioning accuracy while enforcing safety force constraints.

This work presents an inchworm‐like dual‐balloon‐assisted colonoscopic robot (IDCR) based on a rod‐driven two‐segment continuum section. The IDCR enables the active straightening of the sigmoid colon through an inchworm‐like locomotion strategy, thereby avoiding loop formation.

ABSTRACT Little is known about how stigma is perceived within psychiatric genetics, a field increasingly central to public discussions about heredity, neurodiversity, and psychiatric risk. Understanding how stigma is perceived and experienced by psychiatric geneticists is important for guiding responsible communication and future stigma‐reduction ...

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Abstract This study describes the process of developing a high‐impact, low‐cost, and low‐maintenance air ventilation system for anatomy facilities. It employed the strategic application of Value Engineering (VE), assuring that the air ventilation system meets contemporary threshold limit values (TLVs) for formaldehyde in the working zone of dissection ...
