The application of gelatin hydrogels is hampered by their poor mechanical properties, which are unfavorable for debridement and diabetic wound healing. Herein, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-bridged biopotentiated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived nanovesicles (NV), named [email protected], were fabricated reinforcement with genipin BSA in a one-pot, low-cost green approach based on amide bonding-guided crosslinking. Genipin introduction endowed the crosslinking weak properties...

Assistive robots have the potential to support disabled and elderly people in daily dressing activities. An intermediate stage of is manipulate garment from a crumpled initial state an unfolded configuration that facilitates robust dressing. Applying quasi-static grasping actions with vision feedback on unfolding usually suffers occluded points. In this work, we propose dynamic manipulation strategy: tracing edge until hidden corner revealed. We introduce model-based approach, where deep...

Robots have the potential to provide tremendous support disabled and elderly people in their everyday tasks, such as dressing. Many recent studies on robotic dressing assistance usually view a trajectory planning problem. However, user movements during process are rarely taken into account, which often leads failures of planned may put at risk. The main difficulty taking account is caused by severe occlusions created robot, user, clothes process, prevent vision sensors from accurately...

Automatically detecting graspable regions from a single depth image is key ingredient in cloth manipulation. The large variability of deformations has motivated most the current approaches to focus on identifying specific grasping points rather than semantic parts, as appearance and variations local are smaller easier model larger ones. However, tasks like folding or assisted dressing require recognizing segments, such edges that carry more information points. We thus first tackle problem...
