How Do We Delay Decay? In 2012, the Repair, Regeneration, and Replacement Revisited lecture posed a fundamental question: How do we delay the inevitable decline of the human body? Now, 13 years later, that question is more relevant than ever. With AI-driven health technologies, regenerative medicine, and bioengineered solutions, we stand at the edge of a new medical revolution. We revisit... Continue Reading →
Advancements in Robotic Lower Limb Prostheses: Addressing the Challenges #WearableRobots #Prostheses
In the rapidly evolving field of lower limb prosthetics, the development of robotic prostheses has ushered in a new era of possibilities for individuals with limb loss. A recent systematic review, published in 2024 by Fagioli et al., sheds light on the remarkable progress made in the design, control, and user adaptation of active and... Continue Reading →
Exploring the Future of Robotics with Bionic E-Skin: A New Frontier in Enhanced Perception @NaturePortfolio #WoundHealing #EpidermalElectronics #Robotics #WearableRobots
In the rapidly advancing field of robotics, the ability to perceive and interact with the environment in a human-like manner is a critical frontier. The development of bionic electronic skin (e-skin) with multi-directional droplet sliding sensing, as presented by Xu et al. (2024), marks a significant leap forward in this endeavor. This groundbreaking technology not... Continue Reading →
Toward higher-performance bionic limbs for wider clinical use | Nature Biomedical Engineering @NatBME
Thought provoking work from Farina and coworkers in Nature Biomedical Engineering Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about the environment with higher precision than biological limbs, but their actual performance is substantially limited by... Continue Reading →
