Minimally invasive surgery is one of the most promising trends in medicine. Despite of its obvious advantages - the use of small incisions reducing trauma and risk of infection - it still represents a great challenge for the surgeon, as visual guidance and dexterity are severely impaired. In the case …
Solving real-life optimization problems numerically is often very time demanding, because of high complexity of the simulations that are usually involved. Solving such problems becomes highly impractical for this reason and can even lead to use of less complex and also less accurate models. Fortunately, evolutionary algorithms, often used in …
