The accuracy and predictability of micro Doppler radar signature projection algorithm measuring functional movement in NCAA athletes.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Development of accessible cost-effective technology to objectively, reliably, and accurately predict musculoskeletal injury risk could aid the effort to prevent chronic pain and disability. Recent work on micro-Doppler radar suggests it m...

MINARO HD: control and evaluation of a handheld, highly dynamic surgical robot.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Current surgical robotic systems are either large serial arms, resulting in higher risks due to their high inertia and no inherent limitations of the working space, or they are bone-mounted, adding substantial additional task steps to the su...

Can an inertial measurement unit (IMU) in combination with machine learning measure fast bowling speed and perceived intensity in cricket?

Journal of sports sciences
This study examined whether an inertial measurement unit (IMU), in combination with machine learning, could accurately predict two indirect measures of bowling intensity through ball release speed (BRS) and perceived intensity zone (PIZ). One IMU was...

Smartphone-based human fatigue level detection using machine learning approaches.

Ergonomics
Human muscle fatigue is the main result of diminishing muscle capability, leading to reduced performance and increased risk of falls and injury. This study provides a classification model to identify the human fatigue level based on the motion signal...

Kinematics and workspace analysis of 4SPRR-SPR parallel robots.

PloS one
The 4SPRR-SPR parallel robot, which has considerable potential for application in the field of machining, is a novel closed-loop mechanism with a high rigid-weight ratio. Kinematics and workspace analyses of the 4SPRR-SPR parallel robot are key requi...

Elbow Motion Trajectory Prediction Using a Multi-Modal Wearable System: A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Techniques.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Motion intention detection is fundamental in the implementation of human-machine interfaces applied to assistive robots. In this paper, multiple machine learning techniques have been explored for creating upper limb motion prediction models, which ge...

Estimation of kinematics from inertial measurement units using a combined deep learning and optimization framework.

Journal of biomechanics
The difficulty of estimating joint kinematics remains a critical barrier toward widespread use of inertial measurement units in biomechanics. Traditional sensor-fusion filters are largely reliant on magnetometer readings, which may be disturbed in un...

Shoulder kinematics plus contextual target information enable control of multiple distal joints of a simulated prosthetic arm and hand.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Prosthetic restoration of reach and grasp function after a trans-humeral amputation requires control of multiple distal degrees of freedom in elbow, wrist and fingers. However, such a high level of amputation reduces the amount of availab...

Multidimensional Ground Reaction Forces and Moments From Wearable Sensor Accelerations via Deep Learning.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Monitoring athlete internal workload exposure, including prevention of catastrophic non-contact knee injuries, relies on the existence of a custom early-warning detection system. This system must be able to estimate accurate, reliable, and...

Fundamental understanding of millipede morphology and locomotion dynamics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A detailed model for the locomotory mechanics used by millipedes is provided here through systematic experimentation on the animal and validation of observations through a biomimetic robotic platform. Millipedes possess a powerful gait that is necess...
