Enhanced STag Marker System: Materials and Methods for Flexible Robot Localisation

Machines
Accurate localisation is key for the autonomy of mobile robots. Fiducial localisation utilises relative positions of markers physically deployed across an environment to determine a localisation estimate for a robot.

Robot Localization with Fiducial Markers

, 2023
Non-industrial robotics is a relatively new field with great potential for growth, but there are still many active research problems that prevent it from becoming ubiquitous. A robot not getting lost is one of those problems. Robots tracking their position based on wheel movement are subject to drift due to uneven surfaces and wheel slippage.

Can Private Equity Deliver on Its Societal Ambitions? What We Know and Don't Know About Environmental, Social, and Governance Factor Integration in Private Equity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Private equity (PE) firms increasingly integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions and raise impact funds to address sustainability challenges. We review and integrate the growing body of literature on why, when, and how PE fund managers incorporate ESG factors into their investment strategies and ...

Tumor track seeding: A new complication of fiducial marker insertion

Radiology Case Reports, 2014
In the United States, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Candidates for tumor ablation using CyberKnife® require fiducial placement in or near the target tumor to achieve precision.

Grooved Surface of the Obturator Internus Muscle With Two Distinct Adjacent Parts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific anatomical features of the obturator internus, particularly those of its medial surface, remain insufficiently characterized. This study investigated the morphology of the obturator internus muscle by focusing on the shape of its medial surface and potential age‐related changes.

Chic-Marker: Fashionably Fusing Fiducial Markers into Apparel and Accessories

Proceedings of the 9th ACM Symposium on Computational Fabrication
This paper proposes Chic-Marker, a fashionable approach to integrating square fiducial markers into apparel and accessories. While square fiducial markers have found widespread use in industrial and entertainment sectors for precise object identification and tracking, their integration into daily wearable items has been limited due to their conspicuous
