Augmented reality-based telepresence in a robotic manipulation task: An experimental evaluation

A spectrum of control methods in human–robot interaction was investigated, ranging from direct control to telepresence with a virtual representation of the robot arm. A total of 24 participants used a setup that included a Franka Emika Panda robot arm, Varjo XR-3 head-mounted display, and Leap Motion Controller. Participants performed a box...

Reduced acute myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury in IL-6-deficient mice employing a closed-chest model

Objective and design: We examined the role of IL-6 in the temporal development of cardiac ischemia–reperfusion injury employing a closed-chest I/R model. Materials/methods: Infarction, local and systemic inflammation, neutrophil infiltration, coagulation and ST elevation/resolution were compared between wild-type (WT) and IL-6-deficient (IL-6...
