Stanford researchers have developed a method for manufacturing high quality multifunctional soft electronic fibers based on conventional microfabrication techniques.
Stanford inventors have developed a mobile thermoelectric device designed to preserve organs during transit by maintaining 10°C (+/-1°C) for over 6 hours.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a multilayered immiscible polymer system capable of autonomously realigning its layers to enhance the healing process after damage.
Remotely operated robotic devices are becoming increasingly important in fields such as medicine, space and field research. However, their widespread application is hampered by distance between the robot and its operator which results in communication delays.
Researchers in the Stanford Robotics Lab have developed a dynamically adaptive workspace mapping control method that adjusts remote task resolution to keep haptic-robot (in real-world applications) or haptic-avatar (in virtual environment) interactions within the device works
Researchers in the Stanford Robotics Lab have developed a compact high-fidelity haptic teleoperation system which shows accurate and isotropic behavior in translation and rotation.
Doctors with Stanford Medicine have developed a multi-user, mixed reality medical simulation application. Medical in-situ and simulation training centers cost millions of dollars a year to administer, with limited availability to those in remote areas or the third world.
Stanford researchers have developed a technique to interpret contact events between a human and a device equipped with a force sensor. It can detect and classify distinct touch interactions such as tap, touch, grab, and slip.
Stanford researchers at the Okamura Lab have prototyped a new retraction device that can reverse growth of a soft growing robot without undesired buckling.
Researchers in Dr. Cutkosky's laboratory have developed a gripper device that allows industrial robots to handle very soft or delicate objects. Effective handling of delicate objects remains a challenging problem in manufacturing.
Stanford researchers have built a sound powered, wireless medical implant. The implant contains a piezoelectric energy receiver, an integrated circuit chip, and a loop antenna.
A team of interdisciplinary researchers at Stanford have developed a small, lightweight optical strain sensor device to sensitively measure forces within the mitral valve apparatus to help determine the appropriate repair technique for patients undergoing valvular surgery for
Engineers at the Khuri-Yakub Group have designed a non-surgical alternative for treating epilepsy using ultrasonic technology which can detect, localize, and suppress epileptic seizures in epileptic patients.
Stanford researchers in the Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab have patented a low cost, high performance multi-axis capacitive tactile sensor that measures all six components of force and torque.
