Spatio-Temporal Lifelog Using a Wearable Compound Omnidirectional Sensor

In this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal lifelog, that enables us intuitively to understand both the spatial and temporal aspects of a situation. We have designed a new wearable compound omnidirectional sensor comprising a hyperboloidal mirror and multiple paraboloidal mirrors. Using this sensor, visual information is recorded in all directions around the user. Objects are classified as fore...

Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).

By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.

Study of Vital Data Analysis Platform Using Wearable Sensor

In this paper, we propose a vital data analysis platform which resolves existing problems to utilize vital data for real-time actions. Recently, IoT technologies have been progressed but in the healthcare area, real-time actions based on analyzed vital data are not considered sufficiently yet. The causes are proper use of analyzing methods of stream / micro batch processing and network cost. To...

Stretchable Materials for Robust Soft Actuators towards Assistive Wearable Devices

Soft actuators made from elastomeric active materials can find widespread potential implementation in a variety of applications ranging from assistive wearable technologies targeted at biomedical rehabilitation or assistance with activities of daily living, bioinspired and biomimetic systems, to gripping and manipulating fragile objects, and adaptable locomotion. In this manuscript, we propose ...
