Design and Implementation of a Bionic Marine Iguana Robot for Military Micro-Sensor Deployment

Underwater sensor deployment in military applications requires high precision, yet existing robotic solutions often lack the maneuverability and adaptability required for complex aquatic environments. To address this gap, this study propose...

Catheter pose-dependent virtual angioscopy images for endovascular aortic repair: validation with a video graphics array (VGA) camera

Previous research reported catheter pose-dependent virtual angioscopy images for endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) (phantom studies) without any validation with video images. The goal of our study focused on conducting this validation using...

An Augmented Discrete-Time Approach for Human-Robot Collaboration

Human-robot collaboration (HRC) is a key feature to distinguish the new generation of robots from conventional robots. Relevant HRC topics have been extensively investigated recently in academic institutes and companies to improve human and...

Virtual Reality-Based Center of Mass-Assisted Personalized Balance Training System

Poststroke hemiplegic patients often show altered weight distribution with balance disorders, increasing their risk of fall. Conventional balance training, though powerful, suffers from scarcity of trained therapists, frequent visits to cli...

Progress in Bioinspired Dry and Wet Gradient Materials from Design Principles to Engineering Applications

Summary: Nature does nothing in vain. Through millions of years of revolution, living organisms have evolved hierarchical and anisotropic structures to maximize their survival in complex and dynamic environments. Many of these structures ar...

Evolutionary Robotics

Evolutionary robotics is a new technique for the automatic creation of autonomous robots. Inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest, it views robots as autonomous artificial organisms that develop their ow...

Robot-Assisted Augmented Reality (AR)-Guided Surgical Navigation for Periacetabular Osteotomy

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is an effective approach for the surgical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, due to the complex anatomical structure around the hip joint and the limited field of view (FoV) during...

Introduction to Robotics

A recent update on development, synthesis methods, properties and application of natural products derived carbon dots

Abstract Natural resources are practically infinitely abundant in nature, which stimulates scientists to create new materials with inventive uses and minimal environmental impact. Due to the various benefits of natural carbon dots (NCDs) fr...

From Nano Robotic Manipulation to Nano Manipulation Robot

ABSTRACT The evolution from passive nanoscale observation to active robotic manipulation represents a paradigm shift in humanity's quest to master matter at the atomic scale. This review systematically traces the historical and conceptual f...

Advances in materials informatics for tailoring thermal radiation: A perspective review

Materials informatics has emerged as a powerful tool for the discovery, design, and optimization of materials with tailored thermal radiative properties. This perspective review highlights the recent advances in optimization algorithms, inc...

Confining single Er3+ ions in sub-3 nm NaYF4 nanoparticles to induce slow relaxation of the magnetisation

Abstract Molecular systems known as single-molecule magnets (SMMs) exhibit magnet-like behaviour of slow relaxation of the magnetisation and magnetic hysteresis and have potential application in high-density memory storage or quantum comput...

Quantum computing for chemical and biomolecular product design

Chemical process design has for long been benefiting from computer-aided methods and tools to develop new processes and services that can meet the needs of society. Chemical and biomolecular product design could also benefit from the use of...

Quantum Computing for Molecular Biology**

Molecular biology and biochemistry interpret microscopic processes in the living world in terms of molecular structures and their interactions, which are quantum mechanical by their very nature. Whereas the theoretical foundations of these ...

Quantum computing for market research

The digital ecosystem continues to expand around the world and is revolutionising the way markets are researched. Indeed, consumer experiences are advertised and disseminated through so many channels and media that it has become a major cha...

Continuous monitoring biosensors for advanced healthcare and environmental applications: challenges, material innovations and future directions

This review critically discusses the development of continuous monitoring biosensors and the technological developments that have facilitated the transition from one-off or periodic measurement sensors to longer-term, connected and autonomo...

Quantum computing and hidden variables

This paper initiates the study of hidden variables from a quantum computing perspective. For us, a hidden-variable theory is simply a way to convert a unitary matrix that maps one quantum state to another into a stochastic matrix that maps ...

Quantum computing, postselection, and probabilistic polynomial-time

I study the class of problems efficiently solvable by a quantum computer, given the ability to ‘postselect’ on the outcomes of measurements. I prove that this class coincides with a classical complexity class called PP, or probabilistic pol...

An axiomatic basis of trust in distributed systems

He introduces basic notions about developing a logic or a theory, and shows that modal logics of belief, with their Kripe-style possible-worlds semantics, are appropriate for basing a theory of trust on. He reviews a modal logic of belief, ...

Cybersecurity in Health Care

Abstract Ethical questions have always been crucial in health care; the rapid dissemination of ICT makes some of those questions even more pressing and also raises new ones. One of these new questions is cybersecurity in relation to ethics ...
