The use of TSAs provides several advantages such as muscle-like structures, high transmission ratios, large output forces, high efficiency, compactness, inherent compliance, and the ability to transmit power over distances. However, conventional sensors used in TSA-actuated robotic hands increase stiffness, mass, volume, and complexity, making feedback control challenging. To address this issue, a novel self-sensing approach is proposed using strain-sensing string based on Conductive Polymer Composite (CPC). By measuring the resistance changes in the strain-sensing string, the bending angle of the robot hand's fingers can be estimated, enabling closed-loop control without external sensors. The developed self-sensing anthropomorphic robot hand comprises a 3D-printed structure with five fingers, a palm, five self-sensing TSAs, and a 3D-printed forearm. Experimental studies validate the self-sensing properties of the TSA and the anthropomorphic robot hand. Additionally, a real-time Virtual Reality (VR) monitoring system is implemented for visualizing and monitoring the robot hand's movements using its self-sensing capabilities.

A laser-chemical composite method is established to fabricate POWSs, which take rose-petal-like microstructures as wettability pattern and a superamphiphobic surface as the background.

In the slippery liquid-infused state, the droplet can slide along the wettability pattern as the designed route. A POWS-based droplet reactor is further constructed, on which, the droplets can be remotely controlled to move, mix and react, as required. Such a POWS, which manipulates droplets with surface tension controlled by the switchable wettability patterns, would be a promising candidate to construct multiple surface-tension-confined microfluidic devices.

However, there is renewed optimism for addressing these challenges through the innovative realm of Four-Dimensional (4D) printing. This groundbreaking technology enables three-dimensional objects with shape-memory properties to undergo predictable transformations under specific external stimuli. Consequently, implants crafted using 4D printing offer significant potential for dynamic adjustments. Inspired by worms in our research, we harnessed 4D printing to fabricate a Shape-Memory Polyurethane (SMPU) for use as a nasal augmentation prosthesis. The choice of SMPU was guided by its Glass Transition Temperature (T<sub>g</sub>), which falls within the acceptable temperature range for the human body. This attribute allowed for temperature-responsive intraoperative self-deformation and postoperative remodeling. Our chosen animal model for experimentation was rabbits. Taking into account the anatomical structure of the rabbit nose, we designed and produced nasal augmentation prostheses with superior biocompatibility. These prostheses were then surgically implanted in a minimally invasive manner into the rabbit noses. Remarkably, they exhibited successful temperature-controlled in-surgery self-deformation according to the predetermined shape and non-invasive remodeling within a mere 9 days post-surgery. Subsequent histological evaluations confirmed the practical viability of these prostheses in a living organism. Our research findings posit that worm-inspired 4D-printed SMPU nasal prostheses hold significant promise for achieving dynamic aesthetic adjustments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":614,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bionic Engineering","volume":"21 3","pages":"1397 - 1411"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140311407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle this problem, inspired from the venus flytrap plant, this work proposes a mutual-hook mechanism to restrain the separation and improve the grasping performance of soft fingers. The novel soft gripper design consists of three modules, a soft finger-cot, two Soft Hook Actuators(SHAs) and two sliding mechanisms.

Experiments demonstrate that the proposed design can restrain the separation of soft fingers substantially, and the soft fingers with the finger-cots can grasp objects three times heavier than the soft fingers without the proposed design.

To objectively demonstrate the core advantages of CGSE, this paper designs a series of global optimization experiments based on IEEE CEC2017, and CGSE is used to solve six engineering design problems with constraints. The final experimental results fully showcase that, compared with the existing well-known methods, CGSE has a very significant competitive advantage in global tasks and has certain practical value in real applications.
