Strategia di locomozione autonoma di dispositivi magnetici endovascolari mediante tracking ad ultrasuoni

L'obbiettivo di questa tesi riguarda l'implementazione di una strategia di locomozione autonoma integrata in una piattaforma robotica per procedure mediche intravascolari, combinando i benefici delle immagini ecograche e della navigazione magnetica robot-assistita di una sonda robotica

Responsabilità civile e robotica medica

L’espansione della robotica investe anche il tema della responsabilità civile che non può essere affrontato in chiave unitaria, bensì in relazione alla gradualizzazione e diversificazione delle attività svolte dai robot. Tale approccio metodologico consente di offrire delle soluzioni diversificate nel campo della robotica medica che tengano conto dei diversi livelli di autonomia delle Intelligenze Artificiali

The birth of roboethics

The importance, and urgency, of a Roboethics lay in the lesson of our recent history. Two of the front rank fields of science and technology, Nuclear Physics and Genetic Engineering, have already been forced to face the ethical consequences of their research’s applications under the pressure of dramatic and troubling events. In many countries, public opinion, shocked by some of these effects, urged to either halt the whole applications, or to seriously control them. Robotics is rapidly becoming one of the leading field of science and technology, so that we can forecast that in the XXI century humanity will coexist with the first alien intelligence we have ever come in contact with - robots. It will be an event rich in ethical, social and economic problems. Public opinion is already asking questions such as: “Could a robot do "good" and "evil”? “Could robots be dangerous for humankind?”

Evaluation method of the innovation project global efficiency

A complete system of indexes to evaluate the global efficiency of a new product development project must approach at least the following perspectives: the financial performances of the project; the project's value; the technical performances of the project; the efficiency of research and development activities of the project; the capacity of fitting in the estimated cost and duration of activities; the degree of integration between the R&D and production activities; the degree of integration between the R&D and marketing activities. Therefore, in this paper is drawn up a method for new product development projects evaluation, based on those seven perspectives.innovation project, evaluation method, value, financial performances
