To be autonomous, systems must be able to capture, perceive, analyse, plan, make decisions and act without human intervention. These characteristics are very important and should be carried out in real time. This is what creates the challenge for autonomous systems to come out and become established...

Identification of mechanical properties of cells has previously been shown to have a great potential and effectiveness on medical diagnosis. As a result, it has gathered increasing interest of researchers over the recent years. Atomic force microscopy has become one of the prime technologies for obt...

Several design methods and principles have been proposed in the literature in order to guide the design of autonomous operations. Putting the required efforts into learning and using the methods is a daunting task, and experiences have shown that the use of methods meant to the help the design proce...

Cells are complex living organisms often described as the building blocks of life. The mechanical properties of such cells have been shown to be effective for medical diagnosis. Previous research in this area focus primarily on static methods by identifying local variations in cell elasticity. Atomi...
