From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Complementing South African inflation surveys: A suitable forecasting tool
Journal of Economic and Financial Sciences, 2018 Central banks currently perform inflation expectation surveys in order to better align their inflation expectations with that of the general public. However, surveys are time-consuming, complicated, expensive and not always accurate, thus compromising ...

Inflation Targeting and the Anchoring of Inflation Expectations in The Western Hemisphere [PDF]
We investigate the extent to which long-run inflation expectations are well anchored in three western hemisphere countries—Canada, Chile, and the United States—using a high-frequency event-study analysis.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...
