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,

Group development and group maturity when building agile teams: A qualitative and quantitative investigation at eight large companies [PDF]
The agile approach to projects focuses more on close-knit teams than traditional waterfall projects, which means that aspects of group maturity become even more important. This psychological aspect is not much researched in connection to the building of an "agile team." The purpose of this study is to investigate how building agile teams is connected ...

A Motion‐Sensing Integrated Soft Robot with Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Pipeline Inspection
A soft robot integrated with triboelectric nanogenerator‐based tactile sensors is proposed to achieve locomotion within pipelines and exteroception of different materials and structures of pipeline inner surfaces. By introducing a 1D‐convolutional neural network algorithm, the soft robot's accuracy in recognizing eight different pipe inner surface ...

Empowered and Embedded: Ethics and Agile Processes [PDF]
In this article we focus on the structural aspects of the development of ethical software, and argue that ethical considerations need to be embedded into the (agile) software development process. In fact, we claim that agile processes of software development lend themselves specifically well for this endeavour.

Single‐pump‐actuated transformable dual‐mode gripper (SATDG) that combines vacuum suction and granular jamming to effectively grasp objects ranging from 10 to 300 mm in size, spanning a vast 30‐fold range, with forces from 0.5 to 21 N, is studied. Using a bistable mechanism and origami structure, the SATDG can transform between two modes and activate ...

Abstract Introduction Improving peri‐ and postnatal facility‐based care in low‐resource settings (LRS) could save over 6000 babies' lives per day. Most of the annual 2.4 million neonatal deaths and 2 million stillbirths occur in healthcare facilities in LRS and are preventable through the implementation of cost‐effective, simple, evidence‐based ...

Implementing Large-Scale Agile Frameworks: Challenges and Recommendations [PDF]
Based on 13 agile transformation cases over 15 years, this article identifies nine challenges associated with implementing SAFe, Scrum-at-Scale, Spotify, LeSS, Nexus, and other mixed or customised large-scale agile frameworks. These challenges should be considered by organizations aspiring to pursue a large-scale agile strategy.
