Designing Decision Support Systems for Emergency Response: Challenges and Opportunities [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Designing effective emergency response management (ERM) systems to respond to incidents such as road accidents is a major problem faced by communities. In addition to responding to frequent incidents each day (about 240 million emergency medical services calls and over 5 million road accidents in the US each year), these systems also support response ...

Special Robotic Stylet for Assisting Endotracheal Intubation Based on Multisegment Continuum Mechanism

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A robotic stylet is proposed based on a multisegment continuum mechanism for specialized assisting endotracheal intubation. Its geometric parameters are designed based on medical images and kinematic is derived. A prototype is fabricated, and its kinematics and application are experimentally verified. These robotic systems can improve accurate, secure,
