Surgical Career

This article focuses on various features and advantages of the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), a robot being developed to perform tissue surgeries. Scientists believe that by embedding the knowledge of the best surgeons in digital systems, autonomous and semiautonomous robots could deliver universal access to the best surgical techniques. An autonomous robot must not only manipulate a needle and thread, but also follow—and react to—the shifting shapes that it creates in real time. STAR started its surgical career by working on rubbery pads with small protrusions. Surgeons use them to learn to stitch together wounds or tissues. The STAR research team plans to integrate additional sensors onto their robot to give surgeons better surgical information. Using a combination of force sensors and sophisticated multispectral cameras that see more than visible light, future robots might advise surgeons about tissue health, thickness, strength, and blood circulation. This would quantify knowledge that surgeons now learn only through experience.

Real Time Identification

Automatic equipmenttransportation in the wild complex terrain circumstances is very important in rescue or military. In this paper, an accompanying system based on the identification and tracking of infrared LEDmarkers is proposed. This system avoidsthe defect that visible-light identification method has. In addition, this paper presents a Kalman filter to predict where infraredmarkers may appear in the nextframe imageto reduce the searchingarea of infrared markers, which remarkablyimproves the identificationspeed of infrared markers. The experimental results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper is effective and feasible.

Material Form

The valence of any visual paradigm and its accompanying technologies is subject to the contingencies of political regimes and cultural shifts. The instigation, implementation and even reconfiguring of any associated technological system effects a translation and adjustment to the structure and use of these supporting mechanisms that both re-defines the relationship between object and viewer and ultimately influences its translation into material form. The permeation of digital systems throughout contemporary urban space is typified by Internet Protocol webcam systems, instigated by civic authorities for surveillance and the imagistic promotion of iconic city form. This paper examines how this system’s reception and subsequent translation of transmitted data signals into digital information not only presents new material to mediate people’s engagement with public space, but moreover, how it presents new opportunities for the designer to materialize its three-dimensional form within the spatial ambiguity of virtual and real-time environments.
