Human-Machine Interfaces in Medical Robotics presents essential and advanced information on developing intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMI) for robotic surgery and rehabilitation. This book provides extensive coverage of multidisciplinary information needed to develop efficient HMI, discussing core technologies of the field, including hand-free control strategies, sensory feedback, data-driven approaches, human-robot shared control, autonomous control, human motor adaption, training, and learning.Arranged in three parts, including interfaces in medical robotics, intelligent machines, and human users, this book provides potential solutions to open questions like what the optimal interface and efficient interaction mode is to facilitate a surgeon's operation, a patient's motor control, or human augmentation. - Provides a comprehensive review of human-machine interfaces in the medical robotics field and summarizes their core design principles, methods and evaluations - Presents updated technology coverage in multiple disciplines - Explores how human users adapt to and learn efficiently from the interface and how machines become more intelligent to assist humans
A Russian war hero who defeated Napoleon and became a mythic military figure.Alexander Mikaberidze's latest book is the first modern English-language biography of Mikhail Golenischev-Kutuzov, the famed Russian Field Marshal and central character of Leo Tolstoy's epic "War and Peace." One of the most important military minds of the period, he is credited with defeating Napoleon and saving Russia, though his fame is not limited to the Napoleonic wars. As it often happens with national heroes, Kutuzov gradually became larger than life, a messianic character who led Holy Russia against the evils of the Revolution and anarchy; the Soviet leaders later exploited his personality for even more grand...
Mixed Reality has been part of our lives ever since we first started to dream of creative ways to comprehend information and concepts through actual and imaginative experiences. This book explores the latest research informing education design in virtual and augmented reality. By utilising numerous studies and examples, it describes the differences between perceived knowledge, usage area, technologies, and tools. It will help the reader gain a better understanding of the nature of virtual or augmented realities and their applications in theory and practice.
