Thyroid cancer surgery – in what direction are we going? A mini-review
The prevalence of thyroid cancer, especially in women, is increasing dramatically. Therefore, patients often undergo thyroidectomy upon diagnosis. However, the cosmetic outcome after surgery is of particular concern for many patients.

Artificial Intelligence and Systems Theory: Applied to Cooperative Robots [PDF]
This paper describes an approach to the design of a population of cooperative robots based on concepts borrowed from Systems Theory and Artificial Intelligence. The research has been developed under the SocRob project, carried out by the Intelligent Systems Laboratory at the Institute for Systems and Robotics - Instituto Superior Tecnico (ISR/IST) in ...

Loosely Coupled Payload Transport System with Robot Replacement [PDF]
In this work, we present an algorithm for robot replacement to increase the operational time of a multi-robot payload transport system. Our system comprises a group of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots traversing on a known trajectory. We design a multi-robot system with loosely coupled robots that ensures the system lasts much longer than the battery

Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy: Surgical technique
Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroid surgery avoids the need for a neck incision. It consists of thyroid lobectomy and isthmectomy for moderately large unilateral benign nodules. The surgical imperatives are the same as for conventional surgery, but with differences in terms of patient positioning, surgical incision, equipment, surgical technique and ...

Robots that Take Advantage of Human Trust [PDF]
Humans often assume that robots are rational. We believe robots take optimal actions given their objective; hence, when we are uncertain about what the robot's objective is, we interpret the robot's actions as optimal with respect to our estimate of its objective.
