Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a widely employed bio-signal that captures human muscle activity via electrodes placed on the skin. Several studies have proposed methods to remove sEMG contaminants, as non-invasive measurements render sEMG suscept...
Sarcopenia, affecting between 1-29% of the older population, is characterized by an age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Reduced muscle strength, either in terms of quantity or quality, and poor physical performance are among the cr...
Chronic pain is prevalent and disproportionately impacts adults with a lower quality of life. Although subjective self-reporting is the "gold standard" for pain assessment, tools are needed to objectively monitor and account for inter-individual diff...

Current surface electromyography (sEMG) methods for locomotion mode prediction face limitations in anticipatory capability due to computation delays and constrained window lengths typically below 500 ms-a practice historically tied to stationarity re...
This study addresses the challenges of Programming by Demonstration (PbD) in the context of collaborative robots, focusing on the need to provide additional degrees of programming without hindering the user's ability to demonstrate trajectories. The ...
Skin electronics face challenges related to the interface between rigid and soft materials, resulting in discomfort and signal inaccuracies. This study presents the development and characterization of a liquid metal-polydimethylsiloxane (LM-PDMS) sti...
