Objective: Periodic Limb Movements of Sleep (PLMS) is a poorly understood comorbidity with close association to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The mechanistic link between the two is unclear. Recent studies on the latter have uncovered low respiratory arousal threshold as an important non-anatomical cause of the disorder.

Article Synopsis
- - The paper introduces a self-locking soft robot that mimics the human hand's ability to change finger stiffness for grasping various objects, using particle and fiber jamming techniques to achieve a wide range of stiffness.
- - A mathematical model is developed to determine when the robot can self-lock and how much it can flex under external force, with experimental results showing a maximum stiffness of 1223.58 N*m.
- - The research also explores the robot's adaptability to different shapes through experiments, establishing a new index for evaluating the adaptability of soft continuum robots, with the prototype achieving a bending angle of up to 108°.
