Researchers at the Sydney Zoo deployed a robot dog to study how animals would behave in its presence.

The Unitree robot dog, dubbed Sparky, was put face-to-face with two cheetahs inside their enclosure. While the cheetahs didn’t seem particularly fond of their new robot friend, Sparky was able to hold its ground.

A controllable prosthetic hand using electromyography to detect the gestures and muscle activities. The project is aimed to be affordable, upgradable, repairable, and flexible. To make it affordable, it consists of 3D printed parts for structure and only common electronic parts are being used. The hand is controlled through EMG signals read by muscle activities on upper forearm. These EMG signals are then transmitted via Bluetooth to Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi then processes these signals and move servo motors accordingly. The project is still in early state with many areas could be improved.

 ❤LifeTec Group™ just conducted their first-ever PhysioHeart™ experiment in the USA!

"As part of our plans to be more accessible in the US market, we have been supporting US-based medtech developers with our Cardiac BioSimulator sessions for a while now, but today we have successfully added the PhysioHeart™ to our US capabilities. A major benefit of the PhysioHeart™ over the Cardiac BioSimulator is that the heart is alive, with full contractility, intact electrophysiology and coronary perfusion. The Cardiac BioSimulator on the other hand is more practical in its use, and therefore more suitable for clinical training programs and very early device studies.As shown in the movie clip, the PhysioHeart platform is compatible to clinical imaging such as ultrasound and fluoroscopy, and this makes it a perfect model to study feasibility, usability and deliverability of new cardiovascular devicesin a clinically relevant setting. This can be highly interesting in the R&D phase as a partial substitute for early animal experiments, but can also add great value to clinical training.  Both the Cardiac BioSimulator and the PhysioHeart can be applied in such an image suite.These cardiac simulation models provide more anatomical freedom in humanizing the approach to the heart, and allows more and additional measurements and imaging than would be available in-vivo. Following a Cardiac BioSimulator study campaign, the PhysioHeart adds another level of realism; the interaction between device and living tissue, contractility, electrophysiology, and coronary perfusion can be investigatedex-vivo. Moreover, as there is no need to use live animals to learn that the device and delivery procedure can be applied successfully in a clinically relevant scenario, timelines can be shortened. In the subsequent animal trials, the focus can be fully on the animal's long-time response to an intervention you already know to be delivered succesfully. This ensures a smoother and quicker animal trial phase."

This techonology was developed by LaunchPad Medical, which received a worldwide license in 2015.

The properties of this biomaterial, known as Tetranite™, include the ability to provide immediate fixation of bone to bone and bone to metal. This adhesive has been shown in multiple animal studies to be a non-toxic and effective way of repairing bone fractures and defects as well as securing implant devices.

Existing data has also shown that Tetranite™ is reabsorbed and replaced with new bone during the natural process of bone remodeling by acting as a scaffold to facilitate bone growth over time. “I am truly excited about the opportunity we have to commercialize what will undoubtedly be a game-changing product in the field of bone health,” said Brian Hess, Chief Executive Officer of LaunchPad Medical.

LaunchPad will initially target the dental market where Tetranite™ will address complications associated with the placement of dental implants, which has become the standard of care for treating tooth loss.

The loss of teeth leads to bone loss, which makes dental implant placement either more difficult or impossible without complex bone grafting techniques, which could be simplified through the use of Tetranite™. LaunchPad will also seek to commercialize this technology for use in other orthopedic applications as well.

When Mosha, an elephant, was two years old, she lost her leg in a landmine injury along the Thai-Burmese border. Luckily, an orthopedic surgeon was able to fit her with the first prosthetic leg ever designed for an elephant. As she has grown, she has needed to be fitted for new ones. But she's never forgotten the doctor who changed her life.

Between April 23 and 27, 2018, the engineering group from Saarbrücken will take part in Hannover Messe to demonstrate the abilities of their vacuum grippers at the Saarland Research and Innovation Stand.

The system avoids the need for compressed air to generate the vacuum and is silent, energy efficient, and appropriate for use in clean rooms. Experts in the field of intelligent materials systems use artificial muscles—bundles of ultrafine shape-memory wires with the ability to tense and relax quite similar to real muscle fibers. The wires also act as sensors and can sense, for instance, when the gripper has to tighten or re-adjust its grip.

The technology is reliant on nickel-titanium alloy’s shape-memory characteristics. “The term ‘shape memory’ refers to the fact that the material is able to ‘remember’ its shape and to return to that original shape after it has been deformed. If electric current flows through a wire made from this alloy, the wire becomes warmer and its lattice structure transforms in such a way that the wire shortens in length. If the current ceases, the wire cools down and lengthens again,” stated Stefan Seelecke, while elucidating on the significant underlying material phase transitions. "The wires provide all the necessary information. The electrical resistance data correlates precisely with the extent of deformation of the wires. By interpreting the measurement data, the controller unit, therefore, knows the exact position of the wires at any one time.

When there’s a vexing problem to be solved, people sometimes offer metaphorical advice such as “stretching the mind” or engaging in “flexible” thinking, but in confronting a problem facing many biomedical research labs, a team of MIT researchers has engineered a solution that is much more literal. To make imaging cells and molecules in brain and other large tissues easier while also making samples tough enough for years of handling in the lab, they have come up with a chemical process that makes tissue stretchable, compressible, and pretty much indestructible.

“ELAST” technology, described in a new paper in Nature Methods, provides scientists a very fast way to fluorescently label cells, proteins, genetic material, and other molecules within brains, kidneys, lungs, hearts, and other organs. That’s because when such tissues can be stretched out or squished down thin, labeling probes can infuse them far more rapidly. Several demonstrations in the paper show that even after repeated expansions or compressions to speed up labeling, tissues snap back to their original form unaltered except for the new labels.

A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota have, for the first time, fully 3D printed an array of light receptors on a hemispherical surface. This discovery marks a significant step toward creating a “bionic eye” that could someday help blind people see or sighted people see better.

The research is published today in Advanced Materials, a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering materials science. The author also holds the patent for 3D-printed semiconducting devices.

“Bionic eyes are usually thought of as science fiction, but now we are closer than ever using a multimaterial 3D printer,” said Michael McAlpine, a co-author of the study and University of Minnesota Benjamin Mayhugh Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering.
