Novel Blended Learning on Artificial Intelligence for Medical Students: Qualitative Interview Study

Abstract BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly relevant in everyday clinical practice, with Food and Drug Administration–approved AI solutions now available in many specialties. This developmen...

Computation offloading and information freshness in edge-assisted networked robotic systems

Camera-based wireless networked control systems must move visual information across a shared wireless link before a command can be applied, so the placement of the perception computation fixes both the communication load and the freshness o...

Multisensor Fire Detection System Mobile Robot as a Learning Media in Firefighting Robotic Course

Firefighting Robotic technology has been used for a long time to achieve aviation safety and security goals. The research is deemed necessary because of some related issues: 1) A pressing need for lecturers and students to have access to le...

Benchmarking spiking neurons for linear quadratic regulator control of multi-linked pole on a cart: from single neuron to ensemble

The emerging field of neuromorphic computing for edge control applications poses the need to quantitatively estimate and limit the number of spiking neurons, to reduce network complexity and optimize the number of neurons per core and hence...

Theoretical framework of the neuro and psychomotor therapist for developmental age: an Italian perspective for paediatric rehabilitation of neurodevelopmental disabilities

PurposeThe rehabilitation of neurodevelopmental disabilities is a complex process aimed at enhancing children’s functional abilities, minimizing the impact of disabilities on family dynamics, and promoting autonomy in daily life. Although s...

Autonomous Collision Avoidance at Sea: A Survey

In this survey, results from an investigation on collision avoidance and path planning methods developed in recent research are provided. In particular, existing methods based on Artificial Intelligence, data-driven methods based on Machine...

Marine Robots Mapping the Present and the Past: Unraveling the Secrets of the Deep

Underwater cultural heritage sites are subject to constant change, whether due to natural forces such as sediments, waves, currents or human intervention. Until a few decades ago, the documentation and research of these sites was mostly don...

Robot dynamics and control

From the Publisher: This self-contained introduction to practical robot kinematics and dynamics includes a comprehensive treatment of robot control. Provides background material on terminology and linear transformations, followed by covera...

Anthropomorphism and the social robot

Characterization of Wing Kinematics by Decoupling Joint Movement in the Pigeon

Birds have remarkable flight capabilities due to their adaptive wing morphology. However, studying live birds is time-consuming and laborious, and obtaining information about the complete wingbeat cycle is difficult. To address this issue a...

Bearing Fault Analysis of BLDC Motor for Electric Scooter Application

In this paper, the bearing faults analysis of the brushless DC motor is presented. The research method is based on the analysis of the vibration signal of healthy as well as faulty bearings by the identification of specific frequencies on t...

Iterative Learning Method for In-Flight Auto-Tuning of UAV Controllers Based on Basic Sensory Information

With an increasing number of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), solutions supporting the improvement in their precision of operation and safety of autonomous flights are gaining importance. They are particularly crucial in transpor...

An Optimization Model for Reliability Improvement and Cost Reduction Through EV Smart Charging

There is a general concern that the increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) will result in higher aging failure probability of equipment and reduced network reliability. The electricity costs may also increase, due to the exacerba...

Transparent, explainable, and accountable AI for robotics

To create fair and accountable AI and robotics, we need precise regulation and better methods to certify, explain, and audit inscrutable systems....

Shakey the Robot

From 1960 through 1972, the Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI conducted research on a mobile robot system nicknamed "Shakey." Endowed with a limited ability to perceive and model its environment, Shakey could perform tasks that required...

Augmented Reality and Robotics: A Survey and Taxonomy for AR-enhanced Human-Robot Interaction and Robotic Interfaces

This paper contributes to a taxonomy of augmented reality and robotics based on a survey of 460 research papers. Augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) have emerged as a new way to enhance human-robot interaction (HRI) and robotic interfaces (...

Modeling the Dynamics of Two Cooperating Robots

The paper presents a description of the dynamics of two mobile robots cooperating in the transport of a bulky load in the form of a beam. The purpose of modeling such a system was to obtain a mathematical model in an appropriate form. Lagra...

Effects of gait support in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration by a wearable robot based on synchronization control

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) mainly manifests a cerebellar ataxic gait, leading to marked postural sway and the risk of falling down. Gait support using a wearable robot is expected to be an effective solution to m...

Statistical Inter-stimulus Interval Window Estimation for Transient Neuromodulation via Paired Mechanical and Brain Stimulation

For achieving motor recovery in individuals with sensorimotor deficits, augmented activation of the appropriate sensorimotor system, and facilitated induction of neural plasticity are essential. An emerging procedure that combines periphera...
