Upper limb motion intent recognition using tactile sensing (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Stefanou, T., Turton, A., Lenz, A., & Dogramadzi, S. (2017). Upper limb motion intent recognition using tactile sensing. In 2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (6601-6608). https://doi.org/10.1109/IROS.2017.8206573

Focusing on upper limb rehabilitation of weak stroke patients, this pilot study explores how motion intent can be detected using force sensitive resistors (FSR). This is part of a bigger project which will see the actuation and control of an intent-d... Read More about Upper limb motion intent recognition using tactile sensing.
