One of the ways natural and synthetic systems regulate temperature is via circulating fluids through vasculatures embedded within their bodies. Because of the flexibility and availability of proven fabrication techniques, vascular-based…
Skin lesion detection in dermoscopic images is essential in the accurate and early diagnosis of skin cancer by a computerized apparatus. Current skin lesion segmentation approaches show poor performance in challenging circumstances such as…
Pain sensation presentation with movable sensory position is important to imitate the pain caused by objects in motion and the pain corresponding to a person's movements. We aimed at proposing a novel dynamic pain sensation experience,…
Understanding and predicting the heat released by magnetic nanoparticles is central to magnetic hyperthermia treatment planning. These nanoparticles tend to form aggregates when injected in living tissues, which alters their response to the…
In this contribution a method is introduced that allows for a linkage between the process-induced structural damage and the fracture behaviour. Based on an anisotropic elastic material model, different modelling approaches for initial…
Although the relationship between temperature and emotional states has been investigated in the field of haptics, it remains unknown if, or in what direction, temperature affects emotional states. We approach this question at the…
We present a tactile sensing method enabled by the mechanical compliance of soft robots; an externally attachable photoreflective module reads surface deformation of silicone skin to estimate contact force without embedding tactile…
We investigate by means of numerical simulations with nested Cartesian meshes the force exerted on a massive and luminous perturber moving at constant speed through a homogeneous and opaque gas, taking into account thermal diffusion in the…
Wound geometry and the mechanical properties of human skin govern the failure modes of partially healed or scarred tissue. Though dermatologists and surgeons develop an intuitive understanding of the mechanical characteristics of skin…
Tactile sensing has recently been used in robotics for object identification, grasping, and material recognition. Most material recognition approaches use vibration information from a tactile exploration, typically above one second long, to…
Laser melting, such as that encountered during additive manufacturing (AM), produces extreme gradients of temperature in both space and time, which in turn influence microstructural development in the material. Qualification and model…
Current rehabilitation of lower limb prostheses has significant challenges, especially with skin conditions, irritation and discomfort. Understanding the skin temperature and having comfortable wearable sensors that would monitor skin…
Understanding energy transport at the nanoscale is an open and fundamental challenge in the molecular sciences with direct implications for the design of new electronics, computing devices, and materials. While nanoscale energy transport…
Over the past decades, thermal ablation procedures such as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) have been developed vaporize cancerous tissues in a focal area. Thermal ablation has the potential to non-invasively eliminate tumors and…
This paper proposes a method to regulate the tissue temperature during laser surgery by robotically controlling the laser focus. Laser-tissue interactions are generally considered hard to control due to the inherent inhomogeneity of…
We present an experimental setup and methodology designed to facilitate high-precision thermal measurements required for infrared medical tomography. The approach which is best suited for the study of specialized hardware phantoms comprises…
Although many people believe their pain fluctuates with weather conditions, both weather and pain may be associated with time spent outside. For example, pleasant weather may mean that people spend more time outside doing physical activity…
Understanding and controlling the flow of heat is a major challenge in nanoelectronics. When a junction is driven out of equilibrium by light or the flow of electric charge, the vibrational and electronic degrees of freedom are, in general,…
A neurophysiological thesis is proposed for thermal sensitivity that accounts for the disorder in physical processes that is fundamental to temperature. There is likely some form of thermal equilibrium rapidly established between…
Thermal emission is typically associated with a blackbody at a temperature above absolute zero, which exchanges energy with its environment in the form of radiation. Blackbody thermal emission is largely incoherent both spatially and…
