Sonomyographic Prosthetic Interacion: Online Simultaneous and Proportional Control of Wrist and Hand Motions Using Semisupervised Learning

Xingchen Yang

Human hands play a very important role in daily object manipulation. Current prosthetic hands are capable of mimicking most functions of the human hand, but how to interact with prosthetic hands based on human intentions remains an open problem. In this ar ...

A Wearable Smart Glove and Its Application of Pose and Gesture Detection to Sign Language Classification

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

Advances in soft sensors coupled with machine learning are enabling increasingly capable wearable systems. Since hand motion in particular can convey useful information for developing intuitive interfaces, glove-based systems can have a significant impact ...

The Alfvenic nature of chromospheric swirls

Aleksi Antoine Bossart, Andrea Francesco Battaglia

Context. Observations show that small-scale vortical plasma motions are ubiquitous in the quiet solar atmosphere. They have received increasing attention in recent years because they are a viable candidate mechanism for the heating of the outer solar atmos ...

Hand-worn Haptic Interface for Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini, Antoine Weber

Drone teleoperation is usually accomplished using remote radio controllers, devices that can be hard to master for inexperienced users. Moreover, the limited amount of information fed back to the user about the robot's state, often limited to vision, can r ...

Non-Abelian band topology in noninteracting metals

Quansheng Wu

Electron energy bands of crystalline solids generically exhibit degeneracies called band-structure nodes. Here, we introduce non-Abelian topological charges that characterize line nodes inside the momentum space of crystalline metals with space-time invers ...

Human-Human, Human-Robot and Robot-Robot Interaction While Walking: Data Analysis, Modelling and Control

Jessica Lanini

In everyday life humans perform many tasks with other partners which involve coordination, involuntary communication and mutual control adaptation, as the case of carrying objects together with another person. Humanoid robots may help with such activities ...

Tunable polarization converter based on one-dimensional graphene metasurfaces

Babak Rahmani

We introduce a new metasurface structure for controlling the polarization of light by leveraging a well-harmonized combination of graphene and dielectric. The proposed metasurface is composed of an array of rectangular pillars laterally sandwiched by ribbo ...

Local field potentials in primate motor cortex encode grasp kinetic parameters

Tomislav Milekovic

Reach and grasp kinematics are known to be encoded in the spiking activity of neuronal ensembles and in local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from primate motor cortex during movement planning and execution. However, little is known, especially in LFPs, a ...

On the Generation of a Variety of Grasps

Aude Billard, Sahar El Khoury, Miao Li

In everyday life, people use a large diversity of hands configurations while reaching out to grasp an object. They tend to vary their hands position/orientation around the object and their fingers placement on its surface according to the object properties ...
