A research paper by scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University developed and clinically evaluated an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled wearable ultrasound device for noninvasive estimation of elevated central venous pressure (CVP) by imaging the internal jugular vein (IJV) and common carotid artery (CCA) in acute and critical patients.

The new research paper, published on Aug. 05 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, has developed an integrated system that combines a wearable ultrasound patch with artificial intelligence to estimate elevated CVP noninvasively from neck vascular imaging.

A research paper by scientists at Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology proposed a single source dual drive flexible knee joint assisted exoskeleton device to assist elderly people in daily walking.

The research paper, published on Aug 11, 2026 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.

Multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) provides useful biochemical and molecular contrast in tissues. However, image quality is often limited by system noise and sparse sampling. We propose the optoacoustic universal denoising network (OA-UDNet), a hybrid diffusion-based framework for sparse MSOT data. The model is trained on more than 250,000 in vivo images. It performs joint denoising and high-fidelity image restoration by combining an edge-aware module with diffusion-based generation to preserve structural boundaries.

For five days in April of 2025, record-breaking winds swept through China, with speeds surpassing 45 meters per second in some areas. That’s roughly the same wind speed of a category 2 hurricane. However, a hurricane breezes through in a matter of hours. What caused this extreme wind event — that resulted in five deaths and caused more than $154 million in economic losses, according to the Ministry of Emergency Management — to persist at such strength for so long and across so much of the country?

A research paper by scientists from Harbin Institute of Technology proposed an integrate the characteristics of different animals, an insect-scale tripedal piezoelectric robot incorporating multiple biomimetic features.

The new research paper, published on Jul. 23 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, provided an insect‑scale piezoelectric robot that combines multiple biomimetic features inspired by both fish and seals.
