In the process of Human-robot skill transfer, we require the robot to reproduce the trajectory of teacher and expect that the robot can generalize the learned trajectory. For the trajectory after generalization, we expect that the robot arm can accur... Read More about Robot learning system based on dynamic movement primitives and neural network.

Introduction: Approximately 40% of the 55,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK undergo mastectomy because they are considered unsuitable for standard breast conserving surgery (BCS) due to tumour size or multiple tumour foci. Ma...
