Long and tedious calibration time hinders the development of motor imagery- (MI-) based brain-computer interface (BCI). To tackle this problem, we use a limited labelled set and a relatively large unlabelled set from the same subject for training bas...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging technique that images brain activation in vivo, using endogenous deoxyhemoglobin as an endogenous contrast agent to detect changes in blood-level-dependent oxyg...
Hand loss is a catastrophic event that generates significant demands for orthopedics and prosthetics. In the course of history, prostheses evolved from passive esthetic replacements to sophisticated robotic hands. Yet, their actuation and particularl...
To improve the accuracy and robustness of hand-eye calibration, a hand-eye calibration method based on Schur matric decomposition is proposed in this paper. The accuracy of these methods strongly depends on the quality of observation data. Therefore,...

In recent years, electromyography (EMG)-based practical myoelectric interfaces have been developed to improve the quality of daily life for people with physical disabilities. With these interfaces, it is very important to decode a user's movement int...
Inspired by the physiological structure of the hand capable of realizing the continuous change in finger stiffness when grasping objects of different masses, a self-locking soft continuum robot with a large variable-stiffness range based on particle ...
We propose an efficient hand gesture recognition (HGR) algorithm, which can cope with time-dependent data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor and support real-time learning for various human-machine interface (HMI) applications. Although t...
