It's not clear to me how this compares to the work from Voltera [0]. Can someone with more expertise weigh in? [0] - https://www.voltera.io/

Medical robotics is a growing industry, led by growth in laparoscopic and cardiac surgeries. There are many types of robotics in that term but focusing on surgical settings, the applications are broad and include cardiac, gastrointestinal,

Indeed! From what I know of prior research, the latency issues with regards to remote control of these robotic systems was unlikely to ever reach clinical use but has been explored to a small degree.

A few (potentially useful) additional points: a) The ability to address more difficult cases is increased with robot-assisted surgery b) Ergonomics of the situation should be considered as well for someone who can go from standing, leaning,

When I was in undergraduate engineering (~3 years ago), hashcat was actually a key part of some great computer security assignments. I'm happy to see it's updated, although it was pretty solid when I had to use it!

Great point - the difference between portable ultrasound machines like the one presented here and the Butterfly Network one is the mode of operation. The BodyMetrix system uses A-mode (Amplitude Modulation) which essentially uses one signa

I'd be curious as to what the payment model for a GP to own a conventional ultrasound machine would look like in Canada, the US, and the UK. It's my understanding that the pocket ultrasound at it's price point would essential

Given the regulatory process, I would envision AI along the lines of "region proposal". That is software to highlight or draw one's attention to a certain portion of the image that "may" have X or something interest

I am fairly surprised to see they opened up in Edmonton, rather than Toronto, Montreal or even Vancouver. Despite that, it's a huge win for UofA - especially when you have names like Rich Sutton involved. I am quite excited to see the

While I agree with the general sentiment, the examples feel fairly contrived. What I think is more practical is understanding when certain problems fall outside of your own scope or capabilities and when to engage someone else for their adv

It's probably worth mentioning that relatively low-cost and mobile ultrasound machines exist. One company just recently received FDA approval for a wireless ultrasound machine. Target price seems to be ~7k to ~10k See news here: http:

Ever heard of BoosterBuddy? It's is a free app designed to help teens and young adults improve their mental health. While I can't comment on the efficacy of using apps for mental health, the idea is currently being done by the Van

I'm happy to see this small act of encouragement. While this letter may not go viral, it is the small effort and this "unsolicited advice" that leaves great positive impressions on young engineers (men or women).

I'm quite happy to see this, although I can't speak to the quality of the resources (it's not my area at all). What makes me happy is that this is a reasonable amount of resources that are up to date mixed with some well know

This is a really cool way of tackling circuit design! Being able to compare the significant changes between similar designs is something I used to wish I was able to do with ease.

I do agree. The presentation did a wonderful job of providing a high level introduction into the idea of machine learning but anyone that's strongly interested in ML should pick up some of the books he mentioned.

Not quite. Piazza allows instructors to post resources as well. I've taken a few courses that centered themselves around Piazza and the Piazza course page.
