Aim: Due to the COVID pandemic and technological innovation, robots gain increasing role in nursing services. While studies investigated negative attitudes of nurses towards robots, we lack an understanding of nurses' preferences about robot characteristics. Our aim was to explore how key robot features compare when weighed together.
Methods: Cross-sectional research design based on a conjoint analysis approach. Robot dimensions tested were: (1) communication; (2) look; (3) safety; (4) self-learning ability; and (5) interactive behaviour. Participants were asked to rank robot profile cards from most to least preferred.
Results: In order of importance, robot's ability to learn ranked first followed by behaviour, look, operating safety and communication. Most preferred robot combination was 'robot responds to commands only, looks like a machine, never misses target, runs programme only and behaves friendly'.
Conclusions: Robot self-learning capacity was least favoured by nurses showing potential fear of robots taking over core nurse competencies.

Although the Transformer architecture has established itself as the industry standard for jobs involving natural language processing, it still has few uses in computer vision. In vision, attention is used in conjunction with convolutional networks or to replace individual convolutional network elements while preserving the overall network design. Differences between the two domains, such as significant variations in the scale of visual things and the higher granularity of pixels in images compared to words in the text, make it difficult to transfer Transformer from language to vision.

Background: In the context of routine breast cancer diagnosis, the precise discrimination between benign and malignant breast masses holds utmost significance. Notably, few prior investigations have concurrently explored the integration of imaging histology features, deep learning characteristics, and clinical parameters. The primary objective of this retrospective study was to pioneer a multimodal feature fusion model tailored for the prediction of breast tumor malignancy, harnessing the potential of ultrasound images.

The multi-sensor fusion, such as LiDAR and camera-based 3D object detection, is a key technology in autonomous driving and robotics. However, traditional 3D detection models are limited to recognizing predefined categories and struggle with unknown or novel objects. Given the complexity of real-world environments, research into open-vocabulary 3D object detection is essential.
