‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

ROS End-Effector: A Hardware-Agnostic Software and Control Framework for Robotic End-Effectors

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems, 2023
AbstractIn recent years, several robotic end-effectors have been developed and made available in the market. Nevertheless, their adoption in industrial context is still limited due to a burdensome integration, which strongly relies on customized software modules specific for each end-effector.

Fast and Reliable Autonomous Surgical Debridement with Cable-Driven Robots Using a Two-Phase Calibration Procedure

open access: yes, 2018
Automating precision subtasks such as debridement (removing dead or diseased tissue fragments) with Robotic Surgical Assistants (RSAs) such as the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) is challenging due to inherent non-linearities in cable-driven systems.

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Dose Proton Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with

Suction pad unit using a bellows pneumatic actuator as a support mechanism for an end effector of depalletizing robots

open access: yesROBOMECH Journal, 2020
This paper describes a vacuum suction-type end effector for depalletizing robots in distribution centers. The developed end effector has multiple suction pad units to which a bellows pneumatic actuator is applied as the support mechanism.

Local sensory control of a dexterous end effector [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
A numerical scheme was developed to solve the inverse kinematics for a user-defined manipulator. The scheme was based on a nonlinear least-squares technique which determines the joint variables by minimizing the difference between the target end effector

Defining Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Perspectives From Oncology and Palliative Care Teams

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is associated with improved symptom management, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for children with cancer. Despite this, variation persists in how PPC is understood, operationalized, and integrated within pediatric oncology programs. In particular, ambiguity surrounding

Manipulator End-Effector Position Control

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2012
AbstractThe paper deals with manipulator end-effector position control. At first the problem of inverse kinematics is introduced. The dynamic model of manipulator by Euler – Lagrange method is derived. In order to achieve required end-effector position the feedback control method is introduced for non-linear differential equations system.

Pumpkin harvesting robotic end-effector

open access: yesComputers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2020
Abstract The development of an end-effector with a unique harvesting methodology based on the properties of pumpkin was presented in this paper. The components of the end-effector designed using Solidworks software; it dynamically simulated using SAM software; and after several modifications, the final components manufactured and assembled.
