In this review paper, we focus on the 3D printing technologies that consist of the extruding of
fluid material in lines to form structures for electro-and biomechanical applications. Our …

This paper describes the research into 3D printed capacitive shear stress sensors. The
context is the development of a technology that can potentially be used in shoe insoles. This …

The frequency response of the fractional-order power-law filter can be approximated by
different techniques, which eventually affect the expected performance. Fractional-order …

Current force sensors used to capture fingertip interaction forces lack compliance to the
fingertip tissue resulting in the loss of touch sensation of the user. 3D printing offers the …

In this article, we present a novel energy-based control architecture on Euler–Bernoulli
beams equipped with a variable stiffness mechanism. To proof the methodological validity of …

A novel bi-material soft pessary ring fabricated by means of fused-filament-fabrication (FFF)
with embedded strain gauges is developed. The ring is based on a highly flexible FFF …

This paper introduces the fabrication and characterization of a soft, 3D-printed, resistive
cantilever flow sensor, inspired by nature. The sensor has a wider end, to increase drag, and …

We calculated the stability criterion for the modified power law model and subsequently
adjust the model such that it's stability can be guaranteed. We applied both a sinusoid, a …

Soft robots are inherently safe, adaptive, and tolerant to operating in unknown environments
due to the sole use of soft materials. This makes soft robots ideal for applications such as …

A novel gap-gauge with embedded sensing is developed for assisting in Oxford
Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (OUKA). A fully 3D printed differential capacitive …
