Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and asthma continue to increase in the general public within the modern era. With careful observation of the symptoms potential diseases may be detected early and managed properly. For that to happen, the awareness of the symptoms and proper knowledge about the diseases may be needed for…

As all other laws of the growth in computing, the growth of computing performance also shows a ”logistic curve”-like behavior, rather than an unlimited exponential growth. The stalling of the single-processor performance experienced nearly two decades ago forced computer experts to look for alternative methods, mainly for some kind of parallelization. Solving the task needs…

Our work demonstrates how to use contemporary software tools on older or “legacy” robots while keeping compatibility with the original control, tools, and calibration procedures. This is done by implementing a lightweight middle-ware called MDS-Ach connected directly to the hardware communications layer of the robot’s control system. The MDS-Ach middle-ware, which relies on the x-Ach…
