Multicentric studies of the fetal neurobehavior by KANET test

Assessment of fetal neurobehavior and detection of neurological impairment prenatally has been a great challenge in perinatal medicine. The evolution of four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound not only enabled a better visualization of fetal anatomy but also allowed the study of fetal behavior in real time. Kurjak Antenatal Neurodevelopmental Test (KANET) was developed for the assessment of fetal neurobehavior and the detection of neurological disorders, based on the assessment of the fetus by application of 4D ultrasound in the same way that a neonate is assessed postnatally. KANET is a method that has been applied for the past 10 years and studies show that it is a strong diagnostic tool and can be introduced into everyday clinical practice. We present all data from studies performed up to now on KANET. © 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston

Robot Extenics Control Developed by Versatile, Intelligent and Portable Robot Vipro Platform Applied on Firefighting Robots

The firefighting robot control using intelligent Extenics control interfaces ICEx developed by versatile, intelligent and portable robot VIPRO platform is presented. Subsequently, VIPRO platform architecture, the innovative versatile, intelligent, portable platform, is applied on firefighting robots VIP- FiR&FiTRo, Extenics intelligent control and Universe of Discourse in an Extenics Transformation are detailed.  The Extenics Control Method with Fuzzy Smoothing is developed and tested using a simple DC motor configuration in the Matlab / Simulink programming environment. A sequence for the Intelligent Control Interface Code integrated into the VIPRO is presented. The results prove the possibilities for tweaking and optimizing by intelligent Extenics control developed on VIPRO platform in order to obtain improved performance are virtually limitless
