Article Abstract
Background: Robot-assisted pelvic fracture closed reduction (RPFCR) positively contributes to patient treatment. However, the current path planning suffers from incomplete obstacle avoidance and long paths.
Method: A collision detection method is proposed for applications in the pelvic environment to improve the safety of RPFCR surgery. Meanwhile, a defined orientation planning strategy (OPS) and linear sampling search (LSS) are coupled into the A* algorithm to optimise the reduction path. Subsequently, pelvic in vitro experimental platform is built to verify the augmented A*algorithm's feasibility.
Results: The augmented A* algorithm planned the shortest path for the same fracture model, and the paths planned by the A* algorithm and experience-based increased by 56.12% and 89.02%, respectively.
Conclusions: The augmented A* algorithm effectively improves surgical safety and shortens the path length, which can be adopted as an effective model for developing RPFCR path planning.

Multi-arm rock drilling robots frequently encounter challenges in extreme environments, such as tunnels, where they are subjected to high-frequency impact loads, multi-degree-of-freedom motion coupling, and large-range motion control vibrations. First, we propose a collision-free path planning method that combines an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) and an improved artificial potential field method. This method is based on the kinematic model of the rock drilling robot.

Predicting career trajectories is a complex yet impactful task, offering significant benefits for personalized career counseling, recruitment optimization, and workforce planning. However, effective career path prediction (CPP) modeling faces challenges including highly variable career trajectories, free-text resume data, and limited publicly available benchmark datasets. In this study, we present a comprehensive comparative evaluation of CPP models-linear projection, multilayer perceptron (MLP), LSTM, and large language models (LLMs)-across multiple input settings and two recently introduced public datasets.

Background: Dose-driven continuous scanning (DDCS) enhances the efficiency and precision of proton pencil beam delivery by reducing beam pauses inherent in discrete spot scanning (DSS). However, current DDCS optimization studies using traveling salesman problem (TSP) formulations often rely on fixed beam intensity and computationally expensive interpolation for move spot generation, limiting efficiency and methodological robustness.
Purpose: This study introduces a Break Spot-Guided (BSG) method, combined with two acceleration strategies-dose rate skipping and bounding-to optimize beam intensity while minimizing beam delivery time (BDT).

Traditional path planning algorithms often face problems such as local optimum traps and low monitoring efficiency in agricultural UAV operations, making it difficult to meet the operational requirements of complex environments in modern precision agriculture. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an intelligent path planning algorithm. To address this issue, this study proposes an improved Informed-RRT* path planning algorithm guided by domain-partitioned A* algorithm.
