Dexterous Control of an 11-DOF Redundant Robot for CT-Guided Needle Insertion With Task-Oriented Weighted Policies
Computed tomography (CT)-guided needle biopsies are critical for diagnosing a range of conditions, including lung cancer, but present challenges such as limited in-bore space, prolonged procedure times, and radiation exposure. Robotic assistance offers a promising solution by improving needle trajectory accuracy, reducing radiation exposure, and enabling real-time adjustments. In our previous work, we introduced a redundant robotic platform designed for dexterous needle insertion within the con…

A mixed Petrov--Galerkin Cosserat rod finite element formulation
This paper presents a total Lagrangian mixed Petrov--Galerkin finite element formulation that provides a computationally efficient approach for analyzing Cosserat rods that is free of singularities and locking. To achieve a singularity-free orientation parametrization of the rod, the nodal kinematical unknowns are defined as the nodal centerline positions and unit quaternions. We apply Lagrangian interpolation to all nodal kinematic coordinates, and in combination with a projection of non-unit …

Disorder induced dynamical interband response in Dirac nodal line semimetals
To obtain the total response of the system, the effect of disorder cannot be neglected, as it introduces a new contribution (i.e. extrinsic) in the total response of the system. In the study of dynamical (AC) effects, the interband response exhibits an exotic resonance peak due to interband transitions. Here, the dynamical interband response of Dirac nodal line semimetal is investigated by using the quantum kinetic approach. The scattering driven effect is analyzed under the first-order Born ap…

Came across this on Youtube. Need to look for more videos (and books) by Natalie Haynes, which I sadly (and oddly) had not encountered before. https://youtu.be/egNJXvg811g

Thanks to @… for finding this needle to getting the Charlie Rudder Pedals working! I've updated the blog as well to hopefully make it a bit easier to track down.

Study reveals surge in illegal arachnid trade via Facebook in Philippines
In 2019, customs officers at a post office in the Philippine capital Manila unwrapped what looked like an ordinary parcel from Poland. Inside, they found 757 live tarantulas stuffed inside plastic containers, neatly packed like a twisted birthday surprise. Far from an isolated incident, this seizure reflects a long-running issue. Between 2010 and 2019, arachnids […]
