Human-Robot collaboration in surgery: Advances and challenges towards autonomous surgical assistants
Human-robot collaboration in surgery represents a significant area of research, driven by the increasing capability of autonomous robotic systems to assist surgeons in complex procedures. This systematic review examines the advancements and persistent challenges in the development of autonomous surgical robotic assistants (ASARs), focusing specifically on scenarios where robots provide meaningful and active support to human surgeons. Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature…

The roughly 1,350 State Department workers laid off by the Trump administration last week
included senior analysts specializing in Russia and Ukraine.
The loss of expertise in those countries comes as Trump presses to settle the war between them,
one of his top foreign policy goals.
In other federal job-cutting moves, the Health and Human Services Department finalized layoff notices for thousands of workers,
and the batch of career employees fired at the Justi…

Approaches to Analysis and Design of AI-Based Autonomous Vehicles
Artificial intelligence (AI) models are becoming key components in an autonomous vehicle (AV), especially in handling complicated perception tasks. However, closing the loop through AI-based feedback may pose significant risks on reliability of autonomous driving due to very limited understanding about the mechanism of AI-driven perception processes. To overcome it, this paper aims to develop tools for modeling, analysis, and synthesis for a class of AI-based AV; in particular, their closed-loo…

Development of an Autonomous Mobile Robotic System for Efficient and Precise Disinfection
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected public health, healthcare systems, and daily life, especially amid resource shortages and limited workers. This crisis has underscored the urgent need for automation in hospital environments, particularly disinfection, which is crucial to controlling virus transmission and improving the safety of healthcare personnel and patients. Ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection, known for its high efficiency, has been widely adopted in hospital settings. However,…
