The study refers to the application of a type of artificial neural network called the Self-Organising Map (SOM) for the identification of areas of the human abdominal wall that behave in a similar mechanical way. The research is based on data acquire...
High-performance tactile sensors with skin-sensing properties are crucial for intelligent perception in next-generation smart devices. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the sensitivity and response range of tactile sensation while negl...
This paper proposes a scheme for predicting ground reaction force (GRF) and center of pressure (CoP) using low-cost FSR sensors. GRF and CoP data are commonly collected from smart insoles to analyze the wearer's gait and diagnose balance issues. This...
Although circular staplers offer technical advancements over traditional hand-sewn techniques, their use remains challenging for unskilled users, necessitating substantial time and experience for mastery. In particular, it is challenging to apply a c...
Prolonged sitting can easily result in pressure injury (PI) for certain people who have had strokes or spinal cord injuries. There are not many methods available for tracking contact surface pressure and shear force to evaluate the PI risk. Here, we ...
The three Ground Reaction Force (GRF) components can be estimated using pressure insole sensors. In this paper, we compare the accuracy of estimating GRF components for both feet using six methods: three Deep Learning (DL) methods (Artificial Neural ...
