Deep Learning to Predict Energy Expenditure and Activity Intensity in Free Living Conditions using Wrist-specific Accelerometry.

Journal of sports sciences
Wrist-worn accelerometers are more comfortable and yield greater compliance than hip-worn devices, making them attractive for free-living activity assessments. However, intricate wrist movements may require more complex predictive models than those a...

Iterative Learning Control for a Soft Exoskeleton with Hip and Knee Joint Assistance.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Walking on different terrains leads to different biomechanics, which motivates the development of exoskeletons for assisting on walking according to the type of a terrain. The design of a lightweight soft exoskeleton that simultaneously assists multi...

Discovery of different metabotypes in overconditioned dairy cows by means of machine learning.

Journal of dairy science
Using data from targeted metabolomics in serum in combination with machine learning (ML) approaches, we aimed at (1) identifying divergent metabotypes in overconditioned cows and at (2) exploring how metabotypes are associated with lactation performa...

Moonlighting Proteins in the Fuzzy Logic of Cellular Metabolism.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
The numerous interconnected biochemical pathways that make up the metabolism of a living cell comprise a fuzzy logic system because of its high level of complexity and our inability to fully understand, predict, and model the many activities, how the...

Genes, the brain, and artificial intelligence in evolution.

Journal of human genetics
Three important systems, genes, the brain, and artificial intelligence (especially deep learning) have similar goals, namely, the maximization of likelihood or minimization of cross-entropy. Animal brains have evolved through predator-prey interactio...

Predicting children's energy expenditure during physical activity using deep learning and wearable sensor data.

European journal of sport science
This study examined a series of machine learning models, evaluating their effectiveness in assessing children's energy expenditure, in terms of the metabolic equivalents (MET) of physical activity (PA), from triaxial accelerometery. The study also de...

Energy-efficient and damage-recovery slithering gait design for a snake-like robot based on reinforcement learning and inverse reinforcement learning.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Similar to real snakes in nature, the flexible trunks of snake-like robots enhance their movement capabilities and adaptabilities in diverse environments. However, this flexibility corresponds to a complex control task involving highly redundant degr...

Key components of mechanical work predict outcomes in robotic stroke therapy.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Clinical practice typically emphasizes active involvement during therapy. However, traditional approaches can offer only general guidance on the form of involvement that would be most helpful to recovery. Beyond assisting movement, robots...

Improving energy expenditure estimates from wearable devices: A machine learning approach.

Journal of sports sciences
A means of quantifying continuous, free-living energy expenditure (EE) would advance the study of bioenergetics. The aim of this study was to apply a non-linear, machine learning algorithm (random forest) to predict minute level EE for a range of act...

A biarticular passive exosuit to support balance control can reduce metabolic cost of walking.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nowadays, the focus on the development of assistive devices just for people with mobility disorders has shifted towards enhancing physical abilities of able-bodied humans. As a result, the interest in the design of cheap and soft wearable exoskeleton...
