According to news reporting originating from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "To determin e whether robotic assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC) or RARC with extraco rporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) would result in a decreased rate of surgical si te complications. RARC has been shown to be non-inferior to ORC." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Oklah oma Health Sciences Center, "Both RARC and ORC are complicated by a high rate of perioperative morbidity, including wound related complications, which may be de creased by a robotic approach with intracorporeal diversion. A retrospective rev iew of our bladder cancer database for patients undergoing radical cystectomy fr om 2013 to 2021. Patients were stratified by surgical technique as RARC with ICU D vs. ORC vs. RARC with ECUD. Surgical site complications were measured at both 30 and 90-day intervals. Of the 269 patients, 127 (47.2%) had RARC with ICUD, 118 (43.7%) had ORC, and 24 (8.9%) had RARC with ECUD (mean ages 71.0, 69.5, 67.5 respectively). A comparison of the three groups demonstrated statistical significance at both the 30-day (p <0.001) and 90-day (p <0.001) timeframes for total surgical site complications, with RARC with ICUD having the fewest amount of patients exp erience a surgical site complication (0.8 %) followed by ORC (25.4% ) and RARC with ECUD (29.2%). Overall, we observed lower surgical s ite complication rates among patients undergoing RARC with ICUD compared to pati ents who underwent ORC or RARC with ECUD."

Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from School of Engineering and Sciences: "By integrating computer vision, industries are positioned to opt imize their current processes significantly and spearhead innovations that could set new standards for future industrial endeavors. However, the integration of computer vision in these contexts necessitates comprehensive training programs f or operators, given this advanced system's complexity and abstract nature. Histo rically, training modalities have grappled with the complexities of understandin g concepts as advanced as computer vision. Despite these challenges, computer vi sion has recently surged to the forefront across various disciplines, attributed to its versatility and superior performance, often matching or exceeding the ca pabilities of other established technologies. Nonetheless, there is a noticeable knowledge gap among students, particularly in comprehending the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within Computer Vision. This disconnect underscores the need for an educational paradigm transcending traditional theoretical instr uction. Cultivating a more practical understanding of the symbiotic relationship between AI and computer vision is essential. To address this, the current work proposes a project-based instructional approach to bridge the educational divide . This methodology will enable students to engage directly with the practical as pects of computer vision applications within AI. By guiding students through a h ands-on project, they will learn how to effectively utilize a dataset, train an object detection model, and implement it within a microcomputer infrastructure. This immersive experience is intended to bolster theoretical knowledge and provi de a practical understanding of deploying AI techniques within computer vision. The main goal is to equip students with a robust skill set that translates into practical acumen, preparing a competent workforce to navigate and innovate in th e complex landscape of Industry 4.0."

    Investigators at Yanshan University Detail Findings in Robotics (Fixed-time Comp osite Learning Control of Robots With Prescribed Time Error Constraints)

    54-54页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-A new study on Robotics is now availab le. According to news reporting from Qinhuangdao, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "This article investigates the adaptive co mposite learning control problem of robots subject to uncertain dynamics and pre scribed time error constraints. Existing prescribed time error constraint method s only achieve semiglobal results or guarantee system order-dependent convergenc e rate." Financial support for this research came from National Natural Science Foundatio n of China (NSFC). The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Yanshan Universi ty, "In this article, by integrating a new prescribed time performance function into a tracking error-based barrier function, a novel prescribed time error cons traint method is proposed with the following appealing features: 1) the constrai nt method is global; 2) the tracking error converges to a compact set with a pro ximate exponential rate, which can be preassigned by the user regardless of syst em order; 3) both settling time and compact set can be preassigned by the user. To handle the uncertain dynamics caused by inaccurate measurement of parameters, a novel fixed-time composite learning robot control (FTCLRC) method is develope d by combining a newly designed nonsingular fixed-time integral terminal sliding mode and the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse-based composite learning technique. In comparison with existing composite learning robot control methods that can only ensure exponential convergence, or finite-time convergence, which is dependent on the unpredictable excitation strengths and initial system states, the propose d FTCLRC can guarantee that both the tracking error and parameters estimation er ror converge to zero in fixed-time, under a weak IE without singularity issue. I n particular, the convergence time only depends on the user-designed parameters, independent of the system's initial states, and the unpredictable excitation st rengths."

    Findings from Sage Bionetworks Update Understanding of Machine Learning (Causali ty-aware Predictions In Static Anticausal Machine Learning Tasks)

    55-55页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Data detailed on Machine Learning have been presented. According to news reporting out of Seattle, Washington, by News Rx editors, the research stated, "We propose a counterfactual approach to train ‘causality-aware' predictive models that are able to leverage causal information in static anticausal machine learning tasks (i.e., prediction tasks where the o utcome influences the inputs). In applications plagued by confounding, the appro ach can be used to generate predictions that are free from the influence of obse rved confounders." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Sage Bionetworks, " In applications involving observed mediators, the approach can be used to genera te predictions that only capture the direct or the indirect causal influences. M echanistically, we train supervised learners on (counterfactually) simulated inp uts that retain only the associations generated by the causal relations of inter est. We focus on linear models, where analytical results connecting covariances, causal effects, and prediction mean square errors are readily available. Quite importantly, we show that our approach does not require knowledge of the full ca usal graph. It suffices to know which variables represent potential confounders and/or mediators. We investigate the stability of the method with respect to dat aset shifts generated by selection biases and also relax the linearity assumptio n by extending the approach to additive models better able to account for nonlin earities in the data."

    Data on Machine Learning Described by a Researcher at Indian Institute of Techno logy Roorkee (Local interface remapping based curvature computation on unstructu red grids in volume of fluid methods using machine learning)

    56-56页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News-New study results on artificial intelligence have been published. According to news reporting from Roorkee, India, by NewsRx jour nalists, research stated, "The volume of fluid method is widely used for interfa ce capturing in two-phase flows including surface tension." Financial supporters for this research include Science And Engineering Research Board. Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Indian Institute of T echnology Roorkee: "Calculation of surface forces requires accurate local interf acial curvature, which, despite receiving considerable attention, remains a chal lenge due to the abrupt variation of volume fraction near the interface. Based o n recent studies showing the potential of data-driven techniques, a machine lear ning (ML) model using a multi-layered artificial neural network is initially dev eloped to predict curvature on structured grids. Known shapes in the form of cir cular interface segments are used to generate a synthetic training dataset consi sting of interfacial curvature and volume fractions. An optimum model configurat ion is carefully obtained, with a larger 5 x 5 input stencil showing increased a ccuracy for test data along with analytical test cases. However, an extension of the model to unstructured grids, required in simulations involving complex geom etries, is non-trivial. To overcome the limitations, a local interface remapping algorithm is proposed where the stencil around a target cell is transformed int o a structured stencil for the generation of the input dataset."
