Virtual reality (VR) technology had its earliest developments in the 1970s in the U.S. Air Force and has since evolved into a budding area of scientific research with many practical medical purposes. VR shows a high potential to benefit to learners and tra ...
An insertion device (100; 100') for inserting a retinal prosthesis (200) into the eye of a patient comprises: a handle portion (1; 1') arranged to be grasped by a user of the insertion device (100; 100'), a cannula element (12; 12') arranged to be inserted ...
Evaluating earthquake-induced losses, such as structural repair costs, downtime and casualties, is becoming a standard practice within the performance-based earthquake engineering framework. Nonetheless, this evaluation is a demanding task that requires de ...
Robotic systems are becoming more and more pervasive in modern industrial, scientific and personal activities through recent years and will play a fundamental role in the future society. Despite their increasing level of automation, teleoperation is still ...
Telerobotics is the process by which human operators control the movement of robots to achieve specific tasks. However, conventional control interfaces, such as joysticks and remote controllers, are not intuitive to use for novice users. Training to use th ...
A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computer system (100) for editing a configuration of a real-world object to optimize a future state of the real-world object. The configuration includes a plurality of potential states for the rea ...
Performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) has become an increasingly popular framework to design, retrofit and manage structures. This probabilistic framework integrates data from the seismic hazard, structural response, damage fragility and damage c ...
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a widespread disease affecting approximately 20% of men. With a rising incidence due to the global
ageing of the world population, it is estimated that over 322 million patients will be affected in 2025. While not being a lifet ...
Robotic teleoperation is fundamental to augment the resilience, precision, and force of robots with the cognition of the operator. However, current interfaces, such as joysticks and remote controllers, are often complicated to handle since they require cog ...
The use of robots in search and rescue is gaining particular interest, but singular skills are required to ensure efficient deployments in real missions.
To face this problem, there is a need to develop more intuitive control interfaces.
Moreover, to ensur ...
