Soft robotics is a growing area of research which utilizes the compliance and adaptability of
soft structures to develop highly adaptive robotics for soft interactions. One area in which soft …

Non-union of long bones is a significant consequence of fracture treatment. Bone regeneration
is a complex physiological process of bone formation which can be seen during normal …

Locomotion of soft-bodied organisms, such as amoeba, worms, and octopuses, is safe,
robust, and adaptable and has great promise for applications in complex environments. While …

The solution of complex problems by the collective action of simple agents in both biologically
evolved and synthetically engineered systems involves cooperative action. Understanding …

When developing a robot, design iterations in the physical world are necessary, even though
they are often costly and not systematic. Here, we present an automated iterative design …

Purpose Joint mega-prosthesis after bone tumors, severe trauma or infection is associated
with high rates of post-surgical septic complications. A fast-resorbable antibacterial hydrogel …

Background To identify the best surgical approach to atypical lipomatous tumors we reviewed
171 patients who underwent surgery at two sarcoma referral centers with different surgical …

In nature, manipulators have evolved into different morphologies with varying rigidity to
accomplish different tasks. Soft and continuum tentacles of the octopus, rigid and strong pincers …

Embodiment is a crucial concept for the autonomy and adaptivity of systems working in the
physical world with high degrees of uncertainty and complexity. The physical bodies of …

We present a seabed map around Lampedusa, the largest island of the Pelagie Islands
Marine Protected Area (Italy, western Mediterranean). The seafloor was mapped using …
