Dielectric Elastomers in Actuation and Energy Applications: Material Behavior and Design Strategies
Abstract: Dielectric elastomers (DEs), a class of electroactive polymers, have attracted significant attention for their ability to undergo large, reversible deformations under electric stimulation. This unique capability makes them highly suitable for a range of actuation and energy harvesting applications, especially in the emerging fields of soft robotics, flexible electronics, artificial muscles, and sustainable power generation systems. DEs offer compelling advantages such as low weight, mechanical flexibility, high energy density, and …

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 …

Develop a System to Control a Prosthetic Hand by Using EMG
Abstract: An EMG-controlled prosthetic hand is a type of artificial hand that users can control through muscle signals. When a person with a missing hand tries to move their "phantom" hand, the muscles in the remaining part of the arm still produce electrical signals. Small sensors placed on the skin detect these signals, which are then translated into movements of the prosthetic hand, like opening, closing, or gripping objects. This technology …

Organic Compounds as Anti-inflammatory Agents, Natural and Synthetic
Abstract: Inflammation diseases still threaten humanity everywhere. For which there is always a continuous demand for immediate medication, the so-called anti-inflammatory drug. Anti-inflammatory organic compounds are either of natural origin or synthetic. Many drugs represent the main constituent of plants. Turmeric, ginger, garlic, spinach, broccoli, ginseng, blueberries, clove, Aloe Vera and pineapple all are plants almost rich in anti-oxidant and flavonoids that reduce inflammation. Researchers still have spent decades of years …

A Review on Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Parkinsons’s Disease Diagnosis and Treatment and Its Future Challenges
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a long-term, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that mainly occurs in people older than 60 years, affecting nearly 1% of this population. It is chiefly marked by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, a crucial brain region responsible for controlling motor functions. The resultant dopamine deficiency significantly disrupts motor control, manifesting in clinical symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, and postural instability. While PD …
