Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: Foundations and Modern Approaches - final textbook version now released By Stefano V. Albrecht, Filippos Christianos, Lukas Schäfer Smart scalpel could help doctors hone surgical skills, study finds Scalpels with built-in sensors could streamline training for surgeons and pave the way for procedures performed by robotic devices, a study carried out by the Informatics researcher suggests. Researchers who studied data captured by the scalpel during trials found its sensors could accurately track how much force users were applying during surgical procedures, and how they were controlling the device over time.
