Research in autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) has been gaining attention in the recent decade due to the increasing need of reconnaissance in hostile environments and maturity of the technology.
In open surgery, surgeons are able to directly access soft tissue/organs and perform manual palpation to understand the texture, size, consistency and location of soft tissue areas.
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a key enabling technology that produces components with complex shapes directly from digital designs in materials from polymers to aerospace alloys,enabling unprecedented design freedom.
