   [### Soft robotic direct cardiac compression devices

 ](/soft-robotic-direct-cardiac-compression-devices) In the United States, the lifetime risk of developing heart failure is roughly 20%. The current clinical standard treatment is implantation of a ventricular assist device that contacts the patient’s blood and is associated with thromboembolic events...

   [### Soft robotic ventricular assist devices with septal bracing

 ](/soft-robotic-ventricular-assist-devices-septal-bracing) Existing soft robotic ventricular assist devices for heart failure typically wrap around the heart to provide biventricular assistance without engaging the interventricular septum. This thick muscular wall that separates the right and left ventricles and...

   [### MedEXO

 ](/medexo) Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically slow and metabolically expensive. Passive assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses are often prescribed to increase function and independence after stroke; however, walking remains highly impaired...

   [### Smart Surgical End-Effectors

 ](/smart-surgical-end-effectors) The small scale of minimally-invasive surgical procedures presents significant challenges to developing robust, smart, and dexterous tools and end-effectors for manipulating millimeter and sub-millimeter anatomical structures (e.g. vessels or nerves) and...
