Tecniche di fault tolerance in swarm robotics

Questa tesi presenta e discute le sfide per ottenere sistemi di swarm robotis affidabili e tolleranti ai guasti e quindi anche alcuni metodi per rilevare anomalie in essi, in modo tale che ipotetiche procedure per il recupero possano essere affrontate, viene sottolineata inoltre l’ importanza di un’ analisi qualitativa dei guasti.

Curriculum survey on tobacco education in European dental schools

Dental professionals need adequate education in tobacco use prevention and cessation skills. The aim of this study was to identify the level of integration of tobacco education in undergraduate curricula of European dental schools.

Robotics in ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery

The three main classes of robotics in ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery (telemanipulation, image-guided functional servoing, and computer numerical control) are discussed and important examples of applications are described to show both technological and clinical developments. As access to many anatomical features of the head requires very small and compact tools to accurately perform procedures, examples are give in ear surgery where manipulation of the minute ossicles requires fine, dexterous movements.
