Many diseases, such as stroke, arthritis, and spinal cord injury, can cause severe hand impairment. Treatment options for these patients are limited by expensive rehabilitation devices dull treatment procedures. In this study, we present an inexpensive soft robotic glove in virtual reality (VR). Fifteen inertial measurement units placed on the finger motion tracking, a motor-tendon actuation system is mounted onto arm exerts forces fingertips via finger-anchoring points, providing force...
Abstract Hydrogels exhibit potential as embolic agents; however, external stimuli for gelation in vessels are difficult to operate or have poor biocompatibility, and shear‐thinning hydrogels under the risk of being washed away. Herein, a blood‐triggering phase transformational hydrogel endovascular embolization is reported. First, quaternized chitosan (QCS), tannic acid (TA) iohexol (I) solutions mixed prepare radiopaque injectable QCS/TA/I (QTI) hydrogel. Upon contacting blood, Na + blood...
In the realm of intelligent sensing, development multifunctional, highly sensitive, wide-ranging, and durable flexible sensors remains a formidable challenge. This paper introduces dual-mode ionic gel sensor, inspired by sensory mechanisms ants developed through magnetically induced technology capable simultaneously detecting environmental humidity pressure. The sensor is fabricated from prestretched, buckled poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with microstructures, exhibiting rapid response high...

Soft and continuously controllable grippers can be assembled from fluidic prestressed composite (FPC) actuators. Due to their highly deformable features, it is difficult model such actuators for large deflections. This article proposes a new method modeling deflections of FPC called the chained (CCM) characterize quasi-static response an applied fluid pressure load. The CCM divides actuator into discrete elements models each element by small rotation model. strain energy work done loads are...
Soft robotic gloves have attracted significant interest in hand rehabilitation the past decade. However, current solutions are still heavy and lack finger-state monitoring versatile treatment options. To address this, we present a lightweight soft glove actuated by twisted string actuators (TSA) that provides whole-hand finger motion tracking. We developed virtual reality environment for training, allowing users to interact with various objects. Fifteen small inertial measurement units...
Abstract Continuous layer jamming is an effective tunable stiffness mechanism that utilizes vacuum to vary friction between laminates enclosed in a membrane.

High injury severity occurs when a stiff robot arm hits an operator. Introducing compliance into systems reduces the impact and enables safe interaction, but at expense of positioning performance payload capacity.
