The state of the art of IT-biomedical converging technologies is reviewed. The results of R&D on IT-biomedical converging technologies conducted in major countries, including the United States, the European Union, Japan and Korea, are presented, and the technological level of IT-biomedical converging technologies is evaluated, providing a future outlook for IT-biomedical converging technologies. In this paper, the core technologies of IT-biomedical converging technolo- gies, such as miniature medical robots, intelligent diagnostic chips, lab-on-a-chip, fusion of medical imaging modalities, laser medicine, ubiquitous healthcare and telerobotic surgery, are presented.

  • For Colonoscopy Luigi Manfredi 1, Elisabetta Capoccia1, Gastone Ciuti2 & Alfred Cuschieri1
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A Soft Pneumatic Inchworm Double balloon (SPID) for colonoscopy Luigi Manfredi 1, Elisabetta Capoccia1, Gastone Ciuti2 & Alfred Cuschieri1 The design of a smart robot for colonoscopy is challenging because of the limited available space, Received: 5 April 2019 slippery internal surfaces, and tortuous 3D shape of the human colon. Locomotion forces applied by an Accepted: 8 July 2019 endoscopic robot may damage the colonic wall and/or cause pain and discomfort to patients. This study Published: xx xx xxxx reports a Soft Pneumatic Inchworm Double balloon (SPID) mini-robot for colonoscopy consisting of two balloons connected by a 3 degrees of freedom soft pneumatic actuator. SPID has an external diameter of 18 mm, a total length of 60 mm, and weighs 10 g. The balloons provide anchorage into the colonic wall for a bio-inspired inchworm locomotion. The proposed design reduces the pressure applied to the colonic wall and consequently pain and discomfort during the procedure. The mini-robot has been tested in a deformable plastic colon phantom of similar shape and dimensions to the human anatomy, exhibiting efcient locomotion by its ability to deform and negotiate fexures and bends. The mini-robot is made of elastomer and constructed from 3D printed components, hence with low production costs essential for a disposable device. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer worldwide1. Regular screening of the asymp- tomatic population can drastically reduce the mortality rate (5-year survival rate above 90% in case of early, stage I, diagnosis)2. CRC screening involves several procedures3,4, although the gold standard remains optical colonoscopy5 because of its high sensitivity in detecting small or sessile polyps2 and low false negative rate6.

  • Collaborative Multi-Robot Systems for Search and Rescue: Coordination and Perception
    1 Collaborative Multi-Robot Systems for Search and Rescue: Coordination and Perception Jorge Pena˜ Queralta1, Jussi Taipalmaa2, Bilge Can Pullinen2, Victor Kathan Sarker1, Tuan Nguyen Gia1, Hannu Tenhunen1, Moncef Gabbouj2, Jenni Raitoharju2, Tomi Westerlund1 1Turku Intelligent Embedded and Robotic Systems, University of Turku, Finland Email: 1fjopequ, vikasar, tunggi, toveweg@utu.fi 2Department of Computing Sciences, Tampere University, Finland Email: 2fjussi.taipalmaa, bilge.canpullinen, moncef.gabbouj, jenni.raitoharjug@tuni.fi Abstract—Autonomous or teleoperated robots have been play- ing increasingly important roles in civil applications in recent years. Across the different civil domains where robots can sup- port human operators, one of the areas where they can have more impact is in search and rescue (SAR) operations. In particular, multi-robot systems have the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of SAR personnel with faster search of victims, initial assessment and mapping of the environment, real-time monitoring and surveillance of SAR operations, or establishing emergency communication networks, among other possibilities. SAR operations encompass a wide variety of environments and situations, and therefore heterogeneous and collaborative multi- robot systems can provide the most advantages. In this paper, we review and analyze the existing approaches to multi-robot (a) Maritime search and rescue with UAVs and USVs SAR support, from an algorithmic perspective and putting an emphasis on the methods enabling collaboration among the robots as well as advanced perception through machine vision and multi-agent active perception. Furthermore, we put these algorithms in the context of the different challenges and constraints that various types of robots (ground, aerial, surface or underwater) encounter in different SAR environments (maritime, urban, wilderness or other post-disaster scenarios).

    Pareto Multi-Objective Evolution of Legged Embodied Organisms Jason T.W. Teo B.Comp.Math. (University of Western Australia, WA, Australia) M.Info.Tech. (Charles Sturt University, NSW, Australia) SCIENTIA MANU E T MENTE submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the D.IT degree at the School of Computer Science University of New South Wales Australian Defence Force Academy Campus A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Information Technology. 2003 Abstract The automatic synthesis of embodied creatures through artificial evolution has be- come a key area of research in robotics, artificial life and the cognitive sciences. However, the research has mainly focused on genetic encodings and fitness func- tions. Considerably less has been said about the role of controllers and how they affect the evolution of morphologies and behaviors in artificial creatures. Further- more, the evolutionary algorithms used to evolve the controllers and morphologies are pre-dominantly based on a single objective or a weighted combination of mul- tiple objectives, and a large majority of the behaviors evolved are for wheeled or abstract artifacts. In this thesis, we present a systematic study of evolving artificial neural network (ANN) controllers for the legged locomotion of embodied organisms. A virtual but physically accurate world is used to simulate the evolution of locomotion behavior in a quadruped creature. An algorithm using a self-adaptive Pareto multi-objective evolutionary optimization approach is developed. The experiments are designed
