Accurate localization in autonomous robots enables effective decision-making within their operating environment. Various methods have been developed to address this challenge, encompassing traditional techniques, fiducial marker utilization, and machine learning approaches. This work proposes a deep-learning …

Falls and fall-related injuries among older adults are associated with decreased health. Therefore, fall prevention programs (FPPs) are increasingly important. However, the translation of such complex programs into clinical practice lacks insight into factors that influence implementation. Therefore, …

Background: Collaborative practice between therapists and parents is a key element of family-centred care and is essential if we want to address family priorities and needs in interventions. However, collaborative practice is challenging for speech and language therapists (SLTs) and parents. To facilitate …

Objective This paper aims at uncovering the hampering and facilitating factors in intercultural communication that professionals encounter in their business relationships. Methodology The data collection process involved conducting individual interviews and two rounds of focus groups with professionals …

The use of machine learning in embedded systems is an interesting topic, especially with the growth in popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT). The capacity of a system, such as a robot, to self-localize, is a fundamental skill for its navigation and decision-making processes. This work focuses on …

Localization is a crucial skill in mobile robotics because the robot needs to make reasonable navigation decisions to complete its mission. Many approaches exist to implement localization, but artificial intelligence can be an interesting alternative to traditional localization techniques based on model …

Peer-reviewed artikel over semantische segmentatie van point clouds.

Inleiding: Dit artikel beschrijft een observationeel onderzoek naar de bijdrage van gebaren aan de communicatieve competentie van begeleiders die zorg bieden aan mensen met een verstandelijke beperking. Het doel van deze studie is het vergaren van ervaringen, gedachten en gevoelens van begeleiders. Hierin …

BACKGROUND: Since the benefit-harm balance of adding inhaled corticosteroids to long-acting β2-agonists (LABA) and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is unclear, we evaluated this addition for a range of patient profiles. METHODS: Analyses …

Inleiding In de gezondheids- en welzijnszorg wordt de nadruk steeds meer gelegd op de autonomie en het beslissingsrecht van de cliënt (Satink & Van de Velde, 2017). Bij de invulling van de ergotherapeutische-interventie ligt de nadruk op gelijkwaardigheid en ‘shared-desicion making’. Hierbij gaat …
