Self-folding soft-robotic chains with reconfigurable shapes and functionalities

Magnetic continuum soft robots can actively steer their tip under an external magnetic field, enabling them to effectively navigate in complex in vivo environments and perform minimally invasive interventions. However, the geometries ...

Acceptance of a computer vision facilitated protocol to measure adherence to face mask use: a single- site, observational cohort study among hospital staff

Objectives Mask adherence continues to be a critical public health measure to prevent transmission of aerosol pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to develop and deploy a computer vision algorithm to provide real-time...

In Situ Detection of Gastrointestinal Inflammatory Biomarkers Using Electrochemical Gas Sensors

ore than two decades ago it was discovered that nitric oxide (NO) concentrations in gas aspirated during colonoscopy were more than 100 times higher in patients diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) than controls. While this provides...

Mobile Robotic Platform for Contactless Vital Sign Monitoring

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated methods to facilitate contactless evaluation of patients in hospital settings. By minimizing in-person contact with individuals who may have COVID-19, healthcare workers can prevent disease transmission and...

An automated all-in-one system for carbohydrate tracking, glucose monitoring, and insulin delivery (Received the best paper award)

Glycemic control through titration of insulin dosing remains the mainstay of diabetes mellitus treatment. Insulin therapy is generally divided into dosing with long- and short-acting insulin, where long-acting insulin provides basal coverage...

Closed-loop Region of Interest Enabling High Spatial and Temporal Resolutions in Object Detection and Tracking via Wireless Camera

The trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution remains a fundamental challenge in machine vision. A captured image often contains a significant amount of redundant information, and only a small region of interest (ROI) is...

Agile mobile robotic platform for contactless vital signs monitoring

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated methods to facilitate contactless evaluation of patients in hospital settings. By minimizing unnecessary in-person contact...
