An Adaptive Neuromuscular Controller for Assistive Lower-Limb Exoskeletons: A Preliminary Study on Subjects with Spinal Cord Injury

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Amy Roning Wu, Tycho Jan Henricus Brug

Versatility is important for a wearable exoskeleton controller to be responsive to both the user and the environment. These characteristics are especially important for subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI), where active recruitment of their own neuromusc ...

Semantic representation and processing of hypoglycemic events derived from wearable sensor data

Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Jean-Eudes Marie Ranvier

Diabetes Type 1 is a metabolic disease which results in a lack of insulin production, causing high glucose levels in the blood. It is crucial for diabetic patients to balance this glucose level, and they depend on external substances to do so. In order to ...
