TL;DR: This paper geometrically formalizes robotic fixture loading as a sensor-based compliant assembly problem and gives a complete planning algorithm that is guaranteed to find a loading plan when one exists and to return a negative report otherwise.

TL;DR: In this paper, three conveyor belts are arranged to singulate and circulate parts, bringing them under a camera where their pose is recognized and subsequently manipulated by the robot arm. But the problem is addressed of optimizing belt speeds and hence throughput of this feeder that avoid: starvation, where no parts are visible to the camera and saturation, where too many parts prevent part pose detection or grasping.

TL;DR: The relation between virtual reality (VR) and telepresence bears a similarity to the relation between painting and photography as discussed by the authors, and it is helpful to understand the two forms and make sense of their differences.

TL;DR: This work designs curved radiation delivery channels inside custom 3D printed implants that allow temporary insertion of a high-dose radioactive source that is threaded through the channels using a wire and allowed to dwell for specified times to expose cancerous tumors for intracavitary brachytherapy treatment.
