A Review of the Bionic Surfaces for Engineering Applications
Abstract: The word ‘bionics’ refers to copying Nature, or taking ideas from Nature. As the field is increasingly influencing the emerging subjects of science and engineering, it has innumerable applications in fields such as robotics, product design, automobile components and biomaterials. This paper emphasizes the development of bionic surfaces for various engineering applications. It gives the relevance of bionic surfaces mimicked from insects/animals. It also presents a critical review of the …

Smart Bionic Hand: Combining Hardware and AI For Adaptive Prosthetic Functionality
Abstract: This research paper presents the development and integration of a bionic arm that leverages both hardware components and artificial intelligence (AI) models for enhanced functionality and user interaction. The hardware design includes key components such as servo motors, an Arduino UNO microcontroller, electromyography (EMG) sensors, and a lithium-ion battery. The EMG sensors detect muscle signals, which serve as inputs for controlling the arm's movements, while the servo motors are responsible …

Bionic Prosthetic with Internet of things (IoT)
Abstract: The visually impaired (VI) people often experience difficulties when traveling on foot, when they are forced to the non-spreading side with vendors, animals and other obstacles. No single system can fully accommodate all their transportation needs. The proposed system aims to provide the appropriate VI assistance to assist their white cane using IoT principles. It detects any obstacles that lie down in its course and alerts the user to them …

Current Developments In 4D Printing Technology
Abstract: The perception of four-dimensional (4D) printing expertise was prompted through the time dimension inclusion in three-dimensional (3D) printing. Many other industries, including engineering, health, and the arts, have revealed a great deal of attention it. Recently, innovations in bioscience have been established that can be implemented using 4D printing. The ability to integrate time with situational variations has many benefits, but perceptibility and adaptability are merely two. Smart material, stimulus, …

Experimental and Numerical Assessment of Sustainable Machine Tool Design: A Life Cycle Perspective on Structural Optimization and Energy Performance
Abstract: Machine tools are high-mass, energy-intensive systems with long service lives, contributing significantly to the carbon footprint of manufacturing. Enhancing their sustainability requires integrated structural and energy optimization without compromising functionality, accuracy, or productivity. While sustainable design has been studied broadly, systematic reviews from an experimental and applied mechanics perspective remain limited. This paper reviews sustainable machine tool design through a life cycle lens, emphasizing mechanics-based strategies and assessment methods. Key …
