Neuromechanical Simulations of Animats with Decentralised Control
Jonathan Patrick Arreguit O'Neill
The transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments represents a significant event in the history of evolution. For this transition to occur, animals had to adapt their morphology, physiology and locomotory skills to handle the challenges and interacti ...
EPFL2023Investigating the roles of reflexes and central pattern generators in the control and modulation of human locomotion using a physiologically plausible neuromechanical model
Auke Ijspeert, Andrea Di Russo, Dimitar Yuriev Stanev, Anushree Bapusaheb Sabnis, Stéphane Armand
Objective. Studying the neural components regulating movement in human locomotion is obstructed by the inability to perform invasive experimental recording in the human neural circuits. Neuromechanical simulations can provide insights by modeling the locom ...
Bristol2023Concurrent Evolution of Biomechanical and Physiological Parameters With Running-Induced Acute Fatigue
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Salil Apte, Gaëlle Prigent, Vincent Gremeaux
Understanding the influence of running-induced acute fatigue on the homeostasis of the body is essential to mitigate the adverse effects and optimize positive adaptations to training. Fatigue is a multifactorial phenomenon, which influences biomechanical, ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Augmented Cooper test: Biomechanical contributions to endurance performance
Kamiar Aminian, Salil Apte, Vincent Gremeaux, Simone Troxler
Running mechanics are modifiable with training and adopting an economical running technique can improve running economy and hence performance. While field measurement of running economy is cumbersome, running mechanics can be assessed accurately and conven ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Knee adduction moment decomposition: Toward better clinical decision-making
Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin
Knee adduction moment (KAM) is correlated with the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although a generic gait modification can reduce the KAM in some patients, it may have a reverse effect on other patients. We proposed the "decomposed ground ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Biomechanical Measures for Fall Risk Assessment and Fall Detection in People with Transfemoral Amputations for the Next-Generation Prostheses: A Scoping Review
Introduction: Transfemoral amputations are known to compromise balance control capabilities, thus increasing the probability of falling. Current research in robotic prostheses is exploring novel strategies to assess the risk of fall and, if required, enabl ...
LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2022Understanding the mechanisms of adhesive wear for heterogeneous materials through molecular dynamics simulations
Jean-François Molinari, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Sacha Zenon Wattel
Tribology properties emerge from a variety of mechanisms occurring along the sliding surfaces, at dif- ferent length scales and time scales. Engineering friction and wear laws are mostly empirical, fitted against experimental results and thus only valid on ...
2022Online Bipedal Locomotion Adaptation for Stepping on Obstacles Using a Novel Foot Sensor
In this paper, we present a novel control architecture for the online adaptation of bipedal locomotion on inclined obstacles. In particular, we introduce a novel, cost-effective, and versatile foot sensor to detect the proximity of the robot's feet to the ...
IEEE2022Actuated 3D microgels for single cell mechanobiology
Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Berna Ayse Özkale Edelmann, Christina Myra Tringides
We present a new cell culture technology for large-scale mechanobiology studies capable of generating and applying optically controlled uniform compression on single cells in 3D. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are individually encapsulated inside an optical ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022Investigating Tissue Mechanics in vitro Using Untethered Soft Robotic Microdevices
Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Raquel Filipa Penacho Parreira
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and operation of a soft robotic compression device that is remotely powered by laser illumination. We combined the rapid and wireless response of hybrid nanomaterials with state-of-the-art microengineering techn ...
