A Multimodal Direct Gaze Interface for Wheelchairs and Teleoperated Robots.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Gaze-based interfaces are especially useful for people with disabilities involving the upper limbs or hands. Typically, users select from a number of options (e.g. letters or commands) displayed on a screen by gazing at the desired option. However, i...

High Compliance Pneumatic Actuators to Promote Finger Extension in Stroke Survivors.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Compliant pneumatic systems are well suited for wearable robotic applications. The actuators are lightweight, conformable to irregular shapes, and tolerant of uncontrolled degrees of freedom. These attributes are especially desirable for hand exoskel...

Real-time Estimation of the Strength Capacity of the Upper Limb for Physical Human-Robot Collaboration.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In physical Human-Robot Collaboration (pHRC), having an estimate of the operator's strength capacity can help implement control strategies. Currently, the trend is to integrate devices that can measure physiological signals. This is not always a viab...

Deep Learning Framework for Automatic Bone Age Assessment.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Bone age Assessment or the skeletal age is a general clinical practice to detect endocrine and metabolic disarrangement in child development. The bone age indicates the level of structural and biological growth better than chronological age calculate...

Estimation of Joint Angle From sEMG and Inertial Measurements Based on Deep Learning Approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Continuous kinematics estimation from surface electromyography (sEMG) allows more natural and intuitive human-machine collaboration. Recent research has suggested the use of multimodal inputs (sEMG signals and inertial measurements) to improve estima...

Electromyography Signal Analysis and Classification using Time-Frequency Representations and Deep Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Analysis and classification of electromyography (EMG) signals are crucial for rehabilitation and motor control. This study investigates electromyogram (EMG) time-frequency representations and then creates conventional and deep learning models for EMG...

Spatio-temporal continuous gesture recognition under degraded environments: performance comparison between 3D integral imaging (InIm) and RGB-D sensors.

Optics express
In this paper, we introduce a deep learning-based spatio-temporal continuous human gesture recognition algorithm under degraded conditions using three-dimensional (3D) integral imaging. The proposed system is shown as an efficient continuous human ge...

Manipulation for self-Identification, and self-Identification for better manipulation.

Science robotics
The process of modeling a series of hand-object parameters is crucial for precise and controllable robotic in-hand manipulation because it enables the mapping from the hand's actuation input to the object's motion to be obtained. Without assuming tha...

Robotic hand augmentation drives changes in neural body representation.

Science robotics
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices....

Co-designing hardware and control for robot hands.

Science robotics
Policy gradient methods can be used for mechanical and computational co-design of robot manipulators.
