In recent years, the selection of a robot for particular industrial purposes is one of the most challenging problems in the manufacturing environment based on automation and smartness for real-time decision-making. At present, several types of industrial robots with various capabilities, features, facilities, and specifications are available in the market. This makes the decision-making process more and more complicated due to the increase in complexity, advanced technologies, and features that are continually being incorporated into the robots by several manufacturers. The decision-maker needs to identify and select the best-suited robot to attain the desired output with precise application ability, and minimum cost. This paper tries to solve the robot selection problem using Fuzzy Best-Worst Method and PROMETHEE as the two most appropriate multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods for weighting criteria and ranking of decision alternatives, respectively.

Background: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), as a minimally invasive method that can stably collect intracranial electroencephalographic information over long periods, has increasingly been applied in the diagnosis and treatment of intractable epilepsy in recent years. Over the past 20 years, with the advancement of materials science and computer science, the application scenarios of SEEG have greatly expanded. Bibliometrics, as a method of scientifically analyzing published literature, can summarize the evolutionary process in the SEEG field and offer insights into its future development prospects.

The use of deformable materials in 3D printing has allowed for the fabrication of intricate soft robotics prototypes. Polyjet technology, with its ability to print multiple materials in a single print, has been popular in creating such designs. Vero and Agilus, the commercial materials provided by Polyjet, possess shape memory properties, making Polyjet ideal for high-precision and transformable applications.

Background/aim: Immuno-oncology (IO) improves the prognosis of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Since research has so far been limited to clinical trials, we herein focused on the effects of IO-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combination therapy in real-world clinical settings.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on 125 patients with advanced RCC who received IO-TKI combination therapy or TKI monotherapy.

Structurally tailored and engineered macromolecular (STEM) networks are attractive materials for soft robotics, stretchable electronics, tissue engineering, and 3D printing due to their tunable properties. To date, STEM networks have been synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) or the combination of reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization and ATRP. RAFT polymerization could have limited selectivity with ATRP inimer sites that can participate in radical-transfer processes.
