Current studies on human locomotion focus mainly on solid ground walking conditions. In this paper, we present a biomechanic comparison of human walking locomotion on solid ground and sand. A novel dataset containing 3-dimensional motion…
This study explores a novel approach for analyzing Sit-to-Stand (STS) movements using millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar technology. The goal is to develop a non-contact sensing, privacy-preserving, and all-day operational method for healthcare…
Tactile sensors provide useful contact data during the interaction with an object which can be used to accurately learn to determine the stability of a grasp. Most of the works in the literature represented tactile readings as plain feature…
Across a plethora of social situations, we touch others in natural and intuitive ways to share thoughts and emotions, such as tapping to get one's attention or caressing to soothe one's anxiety. A deeper understanding of these…
Existing motion generation methods based on mocap data are often limited by data quality and coverage. In this work, we propose a framework that generates diverse, physically feasible full-body human reaching and grasping motions using only…
This paper proposes a novel framework for utilizing skin sensors as a new operation interface of complex robots. The skin sensors employed in this study possess the capability to quantify multimodal tactile information at multiple contact…
Quantifying human movement (kinematics) and musculoskeletal forces (kinetics) at scale, such as estimating quadriceps force during a sit-to-stand movement, could transform prediction, treatment, and monitoring of mobility-related…
While various sensors have been deployed to monitor vehicular flows, sensing pedestrian movement is still nascent. Yet walking is a significant mode of travel in many cities, especially those in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Understanding…
As bipedal robots become more and more popular in commercial and industrial settings, the ability to control them with a high degree of reliability is critical. To that end, this paper considers how to accurately estimate which feet are…
Wearable technology for the automatic detection of gait events has recently gained growing interest, enabling advanced analyses that were previously limited to specialist centres and equipment (e.g., instrumented walkway). In this study, we…
People with mobility impairments are often recommended for gait assessment studies to diagnose their condition and to select appropriate physiotherapy to improve their mobility. These studies are often conducted in clinical or lab settings,…
Activity monitors are widely used to measure various physical activities (PA) as an indicator of mobility, fitness and general health. Similarly, real-time monitoring of longitudinal trends in step count has significant clinical potential…
We study the responses of two tactile sensors, the fingertip sensor from the iCub and the BioTac under different external stimuli. The question of interest is to which degree both sensors i) allow the estimation of force exerted on the…
This study describes a method to quantify potential gait changes in human subjects. Microsoft Kinect devices were used to provide and track coordinates of fifteen different joints of a subject over time. Three male subjects walk a 10-foot…
Wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) provide a cost-effective approach to assessing human movement in clinical and everyday environments. However, developing the associated classification models for robust assessment of…
We propose a method that simultaneously estimates and controls extrinsic contact with tactile feedback. The method enables challenging manipulation tasks that require controlling light forces and accurate motions in contact, such as…
Research on tactile sensing has been progressing at constant pace. In robotics, tactile sensing is typically studied in the context of object grasping and manipulation. In this domain, the development of robust, multi-modal, tactile sensors…
A plethora of wearable devices have been developed or commercialized for continuous non-invasive monitoring of physiological signals that are crucial for preventive care and management of chronic conditions. However, most of these devices…
Recently, two technologies: video analysis and mobile device sensors have considerable impacted Physics teaching. However, in general, these techniques are usually used independently. Here, we focus on a less-explored feature: the…
In this research, we aim to realize cushion interface for operating smart home. We designed user-defined gestures using cushion and developed gesture recognition system. We asked some users to make gestures using cushions for operating home…
