Background: Accurate component placement plays a critical role in the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Robotic-assisted THA (R-THA) has emerged as an option to optimize this aspect compared to the conventional manual THA (C-THA). The aim of this meta-analysis was to analyze the studies comparing R-THA and C-THA.

Soft actuators with multi-stimuli response have shown promising applications in soft intelligent robots. However, most soft actuators are limited by the unidirectional actuation and self-perception capabilities. Here, a bilayer self-sensing actuator with bidirectional actuation is proposed, which showed exceptional bidirectional actuation, self-sensing of temperature and moisture, and smart solar panel.

Palm oil based stretchable piezoresistive strain sensors.

Heliyon

December 2024

Material Science and Engineering Research Group, Faculty of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Jl. Ganesa 10, Bandung, 40132, Indonesia.

The advancement of wearable devices and soft robots requires soft and stretchable sensors to detect their movements. This article proposes palm oil as an organic solvent for a stretchable piezoresistive strain sensor made from a composite consisting of elastomer (Ecoflex 00-30) filled with carbon black. The high content of palmitic acid in the palm oil increases the dispersity of carbon black in the composite, hence effectively improving the conductivity of the sensors.
