Using Liquid Metal to Turn Motion into Electricity – Even Underwater
Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a soft and stretchable device that converts movement into electricity and can work in wet environments.
Student earns elite spot at national lab for wearable medical device research
Travis Peters, a doctoral candidate in materials science and engineering at ASSIST Partner Institution Penn State, will spend a year researching wearable electronics for medical use at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as part of an elite program funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Inkjet Printing Shows Promise As New Strategy For Making E-Textiles, Study Finds
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers demonstrated they could print layers of electrically conductive ink on polyester fabric to make an e-textile that could be used in the design of future wearable devices.
Researchers incorporate computer vision, uncertainty into AI for robotic prosthetics
Researchers have developed new software that can be integrated with existing hardware to enable people using robotic prosthetics or exoskeletons to walk in a safer, more natural manner on different types of terrain. The new framework incorporates computer vision into prosthetic leg control, and includes robust artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that allow the software to better account for uncertainty.
