Automation of Surgical Workflow Recognition: Unveiling the Surgical Instrument Kinematics that Underly Robot‐Assisted Prostatectomy Procedures

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Automated procedural analysis is recognized as one of the major game changers for robotic surgery. Meaning digital analysis needs to replace the manual assessments that set todays standard. Mechanical robotic‐instrument tracking enables the derivation of quantitative kinematic metrics that support behavior‐based workflow segmentation into distinct ...

Maneuverable Multilegged Locomotion through Anisotropically Arranged Soft Backbones in a Single‐Actuator Modular Miniature Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A modular eight‐legged robot exploits anisotropically oriented soft I‐beam backbones to transmit vibration from a single unbalanced‐mass actuator, producing frequency‐dependent multimodal gaits. A pseudo‐rigid‐body model enables high‐fidelity MuJoCo simulation, while Bayesian parameter identification and reinforcement learning yield robust control ...

The professionalisation of teachers in France at a time of new reform: A comparative perspective of teacher‐trainers and students in pre‐service training

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The latest reform of initial teacher education (ITE) in France, introduced in 2021, aims to make teacher training less theoretical and therefore more ‘practical’. New elements, such as the replacement of the Écoles Supérieures pour le Professorat et l'Éducation (ÉSPÉs) by the Instituts Nationaux Supérieurs du Professorat et de l'Education ...
