Special Robotic Stylet for Assisting Endotracheal Intubation Based on Multisegment Continuum Mechanism

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
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,

Comparison of Atom Detection Algorithms for Neutral Atom Quantum Computing [PDF]

2024 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE), Montreal, QC, Canada, 2024, pp. 1048-1057
In neutral atom quantum computers, readout and preparation of the atomic qubits are usually based on fluorescence imaging and subsequent analysis of the acquired image. For each atom site, the brightness or some comparable metric is estimated and used to predict the presence or absence of an atom.
