  • Using the strain signal, the subject successfully controlled a prosthetic to assist walking in real-world environments.

    “By utilizing the strain signal, the subject successfully controlled the prosthetic to assist walking in real-world environments (Figure 6B).[192]”

    From Flexible Electronics and Devices as Human–Machine Interfaces for Medical Robotics (2022) · cites this paper as [192]

    The Results section reports that a strain-sensor-integrated e-skin demonstrated prosthesis walking control for assistive walking in real-world environments. However, Materials and Methods specifies that a human operator, prompted by the transmitted strain signal, sent the command that triggered each swing step; it does not show the subject directly controlling the prosthesis. (LLM, conf=0.87)

  • A biofuel-powered strain sensor integrated on a human elbow captured strain signals.

    “As shown in Figure 6A, a biofuel powered strain sensor was integrated onto a human elbow to capture strain signals.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
