OBJECTIVE: Recent deep learning techniques hold promise to enable IMU-driven kinetic assessment; however, they require large extents of ground reaction force (GRF) data to serve as labels for supervised model training. We thus propose using existing ...
Monitoring activities of daily living (ADLs) plays an important role in measuring and responding to a person's ability to manage their basic physical needs. Effective recognition systems for monitoring ADLs must successfully recognize naturalistic ac...
The growing urban population and traffic congestion underline the importance of building pedestrian-friendly environments to encourage walking as a preferred mode of transportation. However, a major challenge remains, which is the absence of such ped...
Exoskeletons have enormous potential to improve human locomotive performance. However, their development and broad dissemination are limited by the requirement for lengthy human tests and handcrafted control laws. Here we show an experiment-free meth...
