Steerable device and system

Philippe Renaud, Guillaume Cédric Yves Petitpierre

A steerable device for use as e.g. a guidewire for insertion into a subject's body is disclosed. The device features a single side deflection of a bendable portion located at its distal end by application of a longitudinally-directed force either on an inn ...

Design of a Flexible Articulated Robotic Hand for a Humanoid Robot

Daniel Thalmann, Jing Liu

It is often desirable for humanoid robots to have dexterous hands and perform human-like grasps. This requires a deliberate design of hands, in addition to a good actuation system and an efficient 3D vision system. In this paper, we present a simple method ...

2G/3G Serpentine Shape Inverted-F Antenna for Near Body Application

Anja Skrivervik, Nuno Miguel Faria Pires

In this contribution, we present a miniature antenna placed in a leg bracelet for body worn applications. It operates in both the 820-960 MHz and the 1.7-2.1 GHz bands. The radiating element, based on an inverted-F antenna, occupies a 37 mm × 37 mm area an ...

Design and Validation of a Low-Cost Wearable Assistive Device for Carrying Back Loads

This paper discusses about a low-cost wearable assistive device designed for people carrying back loads in mountainous regions of Uttarakhand, a northern state of India. People usually carry commodities like stationeries, gas cylinders, cow feeds and other ...

Comparison of permutationally invariant polynomials, neural networks, and Gaussian approximation potentials in representing water interactions through many-body expansions

Michele Ceriotti, Giulio Imbalzano

The accurate representation of multidimensional potential energy surfaces is a necessary requirement for realistic computer simulations of molecular systems. The continued increase in computer power accompanied by advances in correlated electronic structur ...

A monolithic algorithm for the simulation of cardiac electromechanics in the human left ventricle

Alfio Quarteroni, Antonello Gerbi

In this paper, we propose a monolithic algorithm for the numerical solution of the electromechanics model of the left ventricle in the human heart. Our coupled model integrates the monodomain equation with the Bueno-Orovio minimal model for electrophysiolo ...

Egocentric Mapping of Body Surface Constraints

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Henrique Galvan Debarba

The relative location of human body parts often materializes the semantics of on-going actions, intentions and even emotions expressed, or performed, by a human being. However, traditional methods of performance animation fail to correctly and automaticall ...

Interaction of biologically relevant ions and organic molecules with titanium oxide (rutile) surfaces: A review on molecular dynamics studies

Paul Bowen, Ulrich Aschauer, Azade Yazdan Yar

The surface of a biomaterial can play a major role in its biological fate since the surface is the primary pathway for its interaction with the body. As the natural response of the body to a foreign material is to encapsulate it with a fibrous material, th ...

Soft robot design methodology for ‘push-button’ manufacturing

Jamie Paik

‘Push-button’ or fully automated manufacturing would enable the production of robots with zero intervention from human hands. Realizing this utopia requires a fundamental shift from a sequential (design–materials–manufacturing) to a concurrent design metho ...
