Dynamic global/local multi-layer motion planner architecture for autonomous cognitive surgical robots
(2024-10)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a novel dynamic motion planner designed to provide safe motions in the context of the Smart Autonomous Robot Assistant Surgeon (SARAS) surgical platform. SARAS is a multi-robot autonomous platform ... -
Robust tracking of deformable anatomical structures with severe occlusions using deformable geometrical primitives
(2024-04-29)
Article
Open AccessBackground and objective: Surgical robotics tends to develop cognitive control architectures to provide certain degree of autonomy to improve patient safety and surgery outcomes, while decreasing the required surgeons’ ... -
A review on machine learning in flexible surgical and interventional robots: Where we are and where we are going
(Elsevier, 2024-03-15)
Article
Open AccessMinimally Invasive Procedures (MIPs) emerged as an alternative to more invasive surgical approaches, offering patient benefits such as smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stay. In one class of MIPs, where ... -
Microbiome compositional data analysis for survival studies
(Oxford University Press, 2024-04-25)
Article
Open AccessThe growing interest in studying the relationship between the human microbiome and our health has also extended to time-to-event studies where researchers explore the connection between the microbiome and the occurrence ... -
Musculoskeletal simulations capture the experimentally observed response to ankle-foot-orthosis use in a healthy subject
(2022-09)
Article
Open AccessIn patients with neurological or neuromuscular diseases, such as cerebral palsy (CP), ankle-foot-orthoses (AFOs) are frequently described to improve gait [1,2]. However, selecting the optimal orthosis for a specific patient ... -
Children with cerebral palsy with reduced selective control show stereotyped muscle synergies across activities
(2023-09)
Article
Open AccessPhysics-based computer simulations that predict the effect of treatments on gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP) have the potential to improve the clinical decision-making. To this end, it is important to accurately ... -
Instrumented selective control assessment of the lower extremity to identify neural constraints in muscle co-activation during treadmill walking after stroke
(2023-09)
Article
Open AccessDeficits in muscle coordination during walking after stroke are characterized by reduced selective control, i.e. the inability to perform isolated joint movements. Reduced selective control is often quantified by the number ... -
Modelo virtual de una plataforma de movilidad ortesis-silla para entornos domésticos
(Comité Español de Automática (CEA-IFAC), 2023)
Conference report
Open AccessDada una plataforma híbrida silla-ortesis que permita gestionar movilidad, postura y actuación, es necesario controlar numerosos grados de libertad. Para que la plataforma sea funcional, es necesario asegurar que el ... -
An explicit total Lagrangian Fragile Points Method for finite deformation of hyperelastic materials
(2023-06)
Article
Open AccessWe present a novel meshless algorithm based on the Fragile Points Method (FPM) for hyperelastic materials undergoing finite deformation. In contrast to mesh-based methods, where mesh distortion may pose numerical challenges. ... -
Canine-inspired unidirectional flows for improving memory effects in machine olfaction
(Oxford University Press, 2023-08-23)
Article
Open AccessA dog's nose differs from a human's in that air does not change direction but flows in a unidirectional path from inlet to outlet. Previous simulations showed that unidirectional flow through a dog’s complex nasal passageways ... -
Lipidome characterisation and sex-specific differences in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus
(2024-03-29)
Article
Open AccessBackground: In this study, we evaluated the lipidome alterations caused by type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), by determining lipids significantly associated with diabetes overall and in both sexes, and lipids ... -
The dilemma of variables assumptions in thermal comfort calculations for educational buildings: to simplify or not?
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
Article
Open AccessThermal comfort is crucial for people well-being and productivity in buildings, and it has a strong effect on building’s energy usage. The main models for assessing thermal comfort, like predictive mean vote (PMV) and ...
