Soft Robotics

This description of "soft robotics" is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of a comprehensive technical summary of a developing field. Rather, its objective is to describe soft robotics as a new field-one that offers oppo...

A Novel Passive Implantable Differential Mechanism to Restore Individuated Finger Flexion during Grasping following Tendon Transfer Surgery: A Pilot Study

Tendon transfer surgery is often used to restore hand grasp function following high median-ulnar nerve palsy. This surgery typically reroutes and sutures the tendon of the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) muscle to all four flexor digi...

4D printing of semi-crystalline crosslinked polymer networks with two-way shape-memory effect

This paper introduces a novel approach to 4D printing tailored structures with reversible two-way shape-memory effect (SME) through material extrusion technology. To this aim, methacrylated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was synthesized and eva...

Robot-Assisted Augmented Reality (AR)-Guided Surgical Navigation for Periacetabular Osteotomy

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is an effective approach for the surgical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, due to the complex anatomical structure around the hip joint and the limited field of view (FoV) during...
