Insight into the Lubrication Performance of Biomimetic

Water-lubricated bearings have great advantages in the application of ship tail bearings due to the characteristics of green, pollution-free, and sustainable. However, the poor wettability of water-lubricated materials, as well as the low viscosity and poor load-carrying capacity of water, resulting in poor lubricating film integrity and short material service life under low-speed, heavy-load, start-stop conditions, which limits its application.

Revolutionary self-sensing electric artificial muscles

(Nanowerk News) In a study published recently in Advanced Intelligent Systems("An Electric Self-Sensing and Variable-Stiffness Artificial Muscle"), researchers from Queen Mary University of London have made significant advancements in the field of bionics with the development of a new type of electric variable-stiffness artificial muscle that possesses self-sensing capabilities. This innovative technology has the potential to revolutionize soft robotics and medical applications.

JBE | An EMG-Based Biomimetic Variable Stiffness Modulation

Bilateral rehabilitation systems with bilateral or unilateral assistive robots have been developed for hemiplegia patients to recover their one-side paralysis. However, the compliant robotic assistance to promote bilateral inter-limb coordination remains a challenge that should be addressed. In this paper, a biomimetic variable stiffness modulation strategy for the Variable Stiffness Actuator (VSA) integrated robotic is proposed to improve bilateral limb coordination and promote bilateral motor skills relearning.
