Accordingto news reporting originating from Clermont-Ferrand, France, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated,“This lette r describes a new type of soft robotic grippers with variable stiffness to grasp efficiently a wide variety of objects. The gripper includes two sections, a pne umatic chamber for actuation and a tippingsection for adjusting stiffness and s hape adaptation.”Financial support for this research came from EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innov ation Program.Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Clerm ont-Auvergne, “Thetipping section consists of Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid, a magnetic source, and a tactile sensor. TheMR fluid is responsible for changing the stiffness and it is solidified using the magnetic source which is acombina tion of magnetic elastomer, an electromagnet, and a permanent magnet. The tactil e sensor isembedded within the soft finger to detect contact with the object an d to trigger the magnetic source.Five experiments have been conducted to evalua te the gripper’s performance, stiffness, and success rate.Results indicate that the proposed soft gripper is an effective design that can ensure robust graspin g of awide variety of objects. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that our des ign can change stiffness in lessthan one millisecond while increasing the appli ed force by approximately 2.5 times.”

According to news reportingoriginating from Nanjing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Roboticmicroinje ction has been widely applied in the biomedical field as an effective means of c ell micromanipulation.To improve the survival rate and efficiency of injection, the puncture speed should be designedproperly to minimize cell damage.”Financial support for this research came from Natural Science Foundation of Jian gsu Province.Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the Nanjing University of Information Scienceand Technology (NUIST), “However, due to the complex visc oelastic mechanical properties of cells and thephysical constraints of microman ipulation systems, speed optimization has become a very challenging task.To thi s end, this article proposes a new fractional model to accurately describe the v iscoelastic mechanicalproperties of cells, and develops a speed optimization me thod based on this model to achieve minimal celldamage. Different from the trad itional integer models, the proposed model is implemented by introducinga fract ional viscoelastic element ‘spring-pot’ to replace the viscous damping in the cl assical standardlinear solid model. By this way, the model can simultaneously c haracterize the power-law relaxation andcreep behaviors of cells in microinject ion with higher accuracy and fewer parameters. In addition, withthe proposed mo del and a class of polynomials, the speed optimization problem is formulated and solvedto minimize the cell deformation subjected to physical constraints. To v erify the effectiveness of theproposed model and optimization algorithm, zebraf ish embryo injections are carried out on the designedrobotic micromanipulation system.”

According to news reportingoriginating from Brussels, Belgium , by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “In this paper, a smartmachine-lea rning-based energy management system (MLBEMS) is developed for a hybrid energy s toragesystem (HESS). This HBESS consists of batteries with high-energy (HE) and high-power (HP) characteristics,to provide grid-supporting services.”Funders for this research include European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research And Inn ovation Program.The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB): “The aimof the MLBEMS is to improve the overall battery lifetime and achieve state-of-charge (SoC) balancing fortwo different use cases (UC). U C1 involves enhanced frequency regulation for the Pan-European grid, whileUC2 p ertains to an electric vehicle (EV) charging station with photovoltaic (PV) gene ration. The designedMLBEMS is compared with a rule-based energy management syst em (RBEMS) from the literature withsimilar use cases. To ensure optimal power s haring between the battery modules, an optimization modelis created using real battery aging data. Using a genetic algorithm, optimal power sharing is achieved forvarious initial SoC conditions. The generated dataset is subsequently utili zed to train a machine-learningregression model, and the resulting prediction f unction is imported into MATLAB/Simulink.”

According to news originatingfrom Beijing, People’s Republ ic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “To assess the diagnosti c value of combining plasma steroid profiling with machine learning (ML) in diff erentiatingbetween mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) and nonfunctioning adenoma (NFA) in patients withadrenal incidentalomas. The plasma steroid profi les data in the laboratory information system werescreened from January 2021 to December 2023.”Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Peking Union Medica l College Hospital,“EXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) was applied to establis h diagnostic models using plasma 24-steroid panels and/or clinical characteristi cs of the subjects. The SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP)method was used for explaining the model. 76 patients with MACS and 86 patients with NFA were included in the development and internal validation cohort while the external validati on cohort consisted of 27MACS and 21 NFA cases. Among five ML models evaluated, XGBoost demonstrated superior performancewith an AUC of 0.77 using 24 steroid hormones. The SHAP method identified five steroids that exhibitedoptimal perfor mance in distinguishing MACS from NFA, namely dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), 11-deoxycortisol, 11b-hydroxytestosterone, testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS). Uponincorporating clinical features into the model, the AUC in creased to 0.88, with a sensitivity of 0.77and specificity of 0.82. Furthermore , the results obtained through SHAP revealed that lower levels oftestosterone, DHEA, LDL-c, BMI, and ACTH along with higher level of 11-deoxycortisol significa ntlycontributed to the identification of MACS in the model. We have elucidated the utilization of ML-basedsteroid profiling to discriminate between MACS and N FA in patients with adrenal incidentalomas.”
