[A Wearable System for Cervical Spondylosis Prevention Based on Artificial Intelligence].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
Accompanied by changes in modern work and lifestyle, the incidence of cervical spondylosis has increased year by year. In view of the fact long-term fixed posture of the head and neck is one of the main causes of cervical spondylosis, a set of wearab...

Fall Detection for the Elderly Based on 3-Axis Accelerometer and Depth Sensor Fusion with Random Forest Classifier.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, we propose a new fall detection method that combines 3-axis accelerometer and depth sensors. By combining vision and acceleration-derived features we managed to minimize the false detection rate that is considerably higher when the dec...

Feasibility Study of Deep Neural Network for Heart Rate Estimation from Wearable Photoplethysmography and Acceleration Signals.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Heart rate (HR) estimation using wearable reflectance-type photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals is challenging due to low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Especially during intensive exercise, motion artifacts (MAs) overwhelm PPG signals in an unpredictab...

Adaptive Continuous Integral-Sliding-Mode Controller for Wearable Robots: Application to an Upper Limb Exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper introduces an adaptive integral sliding mode controller for exoskeletons. The controller design is based on the hypothesis that only classical properties are known such as parameters' bounds, and all other functions are unknown. To ensure ...

A tailless aerial robotic flapper reveals that flies use torque coupling in rapid banked turns.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Insects are among the most agile natural flyers. Hypotheses on their flight control cannot always be validated by experiments with animals or tethered robots. To this end, we developed a programmable and agile autonomous free-flying robot controlled ...

Principal component analysis can decrease neural networks performance for incipient falls detection: A preliminary study with hands and feet accelerations.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Fall-related accidents constitute a major problem for elderly people and a burden to the health-care national system. It is therefore important to design devices (e.g., accelerometers) and machine learning algorithms able to recognize incipient falls...

Applying neural network to VO2 estimation using 6-axis motion sensing data.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper focuses on oxygen consumption (VO2) estimation using 6-axis motion data (3-axis acceleration and 3-axis angular velocity) that are obtained from small motion sensors attached to people playing sports with different intensities. In order to...

Development of an excretion care support robot with human cooperative characteristics.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
To support care giving in an aging society with a shrinking population, various life support robots are being developed. In the authors' laboratory, an excretion care support robot (ECSR) with human cooperative characteristic has been developed to re...

Development and preliminary testing of an instrumented object for force analysis during grasping.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents the design and realization of an instrumented object for force analysis during grasping. The object, with spherical shape, has been constructed with three contact areas in order to allow performing a tripod grasp. Force Sensing Re...
