Increasing the number of degrees of freedom for multi-finger robotic hands is necessary to achieve high performance. However, this increases structural complexity and the obtained improvement may be small. Humans change the shape of their hands by ex...
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of functional tests using a camera-based system and machine learning techniques. Specifically, we investigate whether OpenPose and any standard camera can be used to assess the quality of the...

Robots capable of robust, real-time recognition of human intent during manipulation tasks could be used to enhance human-robot collaboration for activities of daily living. Eye gaze-based control interfaces offer a non-invasive way to infer intent an...
OBJECTIVE: Bio-Signals such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) are widely used for the rehabilitation of physically disabled people and for the characterization of cognitive impairments. Successful decoding of these bio-signal...
This paper proposes a portable wireless transmission system for the multi-channel acquisition of surface electromyography (EMG) signals. Because EMG signals have great application value in psychotherapy and human-computer interaction, this system is ...
Training costs for operators of robotic arms in forestry and construction are high. A systematic analysis of skill development can help to make training more efficient. This research focuses on motor skill development by investigating the bimanual co...
Deep learning methods have gained significant attention in sleep science. This study aimed to assess the performance of a deep learning-based sleep stage classification model constructed using fewer physiological parameters derived from cardiorespira...

The treatment of patients with balance disorders is an urgent problem to be solved by the medical community. The causes of balance disorders are diverse. An aging population, traffic accidents, stroke, genetic diseases and so on are all possible fact...
BACKGROUND: With an increasing number of systems for quantifying lameness-related movement asymmetry, between-system comparisons under non-laboratory conditions are important for multi-centre or referral-level studies. This study compares an artifici...
This article introduces a novel approach to human activity recognition (HAR) by presenting a sensor that utilizes a real-time embedded neural network. The sensor incorporates a low-cost microcontroller and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), which is...
