Automatic Tracking of the Muscle Tendon Junction in Healthy and Impaired Subjects using Deep Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Recording muscle tendon junction displacements during movement, allows separate investigation of the muscle and tendon behaviour, respectively. In order to provide a fully-automatic tracking method, we employ a novel deep learning approach to detect ...

Estimation of Energy Absorption Capability of Arm Using Force Myography for Stable Human-Machine Interaction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Human-robot interactions help in various industries and enhance the user experience in different ways. However, constant safety monitoring is needed in environments where human users are at risk, such as rehabilitation therapy, space exploration, or ...

Towards Sonomyography-Based Real-Time Control of Powered Prosthesis Grasp Synergies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Sonomyography (ultrasound imaging) offers a way of classifying complex muscle activity and configuration, with higher SNR and lower hardware requirements than sEMG, using various supervised learning algorithms. The physiological image obtained from a...

Fitts' law in the presence of interface inertia.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Collaborative robots are advancing the healthcare frontier, in applications such as rehabilitation and physical therapy. Effective physical collaboration in human-robot systems require an understanding of partner intent and capability. Various modali...

'Write' but not 'spell' Chinese characters with a BCI-controlled robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Visual brain-computer interface (BCI) systems have made tremendous process in recent years. It has been demonstrated to perform well in spelling words. However, different from spelling English words in one-dimension sequences, Chinese characters are ...

Working Pose and Layout Optimization of surgical robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
It is quite a challenge on positioning surgical robot to optimal place in a crowded and special environment. Compared with the structured industrial environment, the unstructured operating room (OR) environment brings higher requirements for safety o...

Robot Technology in Analyzing Tooth Removal - a Proof of Concept.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A measurement setup is proposed that, for the first time, is capable of capturing the combination of high forces and subtle movements exerted during tooth removal procedures in high detail and in a reproducible manner by using robot technology. The o...

Autonomous Control of a Tendon-driven Robotic Limb with Elastic Elements Reveals that Added Elasticity can Enhance Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Passive elastic elements can contribute to stability, energetic efficiency, and impact absorption in both biological and robotic systems. They also add dynamical complexity which makes them more challenging to model and control. The impact of this ad...

A real-time fuzzy logic biofeedback controller for freestyle swimming body posture adjustment.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Wearable body area networks (BANs) have been widely used in activity measurements for kinematic information collection. This paper presents the design and implementation of a wearable device used as a training tool in freestyle swimming. The device s...

Multi-level Stress Assessment Using Multi-domain Fusion of ECG Signal.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Stress analysis and assessment of affective states of mind using ECG as a physiological signal is a burning research topic in biomedical signal processing. However, existing literature provides only binary assessment of stress, while multiple levels ...
