Artificial Intelligence: Threat or Boon to Radiologists?

Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR
The development and integration of machine learning/artificial intelligence into routine clinical practice will significantly alter the current practice of radiology. Changes in reimbursement and practice patterns will also continue to affect radiolo...

Study on electric energy consumed in intermittent series-parallel elastic actuators (iSPEA).

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
On compliant actuators, intermittent series-parallel elastic actuators (iSPEA) can reduce motor load by variable load cancellation through recruitment of parallel springs by a single motor. However, the potential to reduce electric energy consumed, c...

The effect of leg compliance in multi-directional jumping of a flea-inspired mechanism.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the relationship between leg compliance and jumping performance in the false stick insect, this paper describes how variations in leg compliance and jumping direction affect the performance of a flea-inspired jumping mechanism. The amount...

Multi-Robot Coalitions Formation with Deadlines: Complexity Analysis and Solutions.

PloS one
Multi-robot task allocation is one of the main problems to address in order to design a multi-robot system, very especially when robots form coalitions that must carry out tasks before a deadline. A lot of factors affect the performance of these syst...

Improving actuation efficiency through variable recruitment hydraulic McKibben muscles: modeling, orderly recruitment control, and experiments.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Hydraulic control systems have become increasingly popular as the means of actuation for human-scale legged robots and assistive devices. One of the biggest limitations to these systems is their run time untethered from a power source. One way to inc...

Fast Cell Segmentation Using Scalable Sparse Manifold Learning and Affine Transform-approximated Active Contour.

Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention : MICCAI ... International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention
Efficient and effective cell segmentation of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in whole slide scanned images is a difficult task due to a large number of cells. The weak or misleading cell boundaries also present significant challenges. In this paper, we pr...

The Role of the Robotics Coordinator: Improving Efficiency in a Robotic Surgery Program.

AORN journal
An increase in the number of surgical robots from four to nine at a large academic medical center in the northeastern United States created several challenges for personnel to keep up with the increased robotic surgical volume and remain efficient. T...

Sustainable level of human performance with regard to actual availability in different professions.

Work (Reading, Mass.)
BACKGROUND: In a real working environment, workers' performance depends on the level of competence, psychological and health condition, motivation, and perceived stress. These are the attributes of actual availability. It is crucial to identify the m...

Citizen science frontiers: Efficiency, engagement, and serendipitous discovery with human-machine systems.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Citizen science has proved to be a unique and effective tool in helping science and society cope with the ever-growing data rates and volumes that characterize the modern research landscape. It also serves a critical role in engaging the public with ...
