Fast calibration of hand movement-based interface for arm exoskeleton control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several muscular degenerative diseases alter motor abilities of large muscles but spare smaller muscles, e.g. keeping hand motor skills relatively unaffected while upper limbs ones are altered. Thus, hand movements could be be used to control an arm exoskeleton for rehabilitation and assistive purpose. Using an infra-red sensors (IR) based interface for the exoskeleton control, this paper describes the learning part of the system, endowing the system with a fast online calibration and adaptation abilities. This learning component shows good results and have been successfully implemented on the real system.

متن کاملVision-Based Pose Estimation for Robot-Mediated Hand Telerehabilitation
Vision-based Pose Estimation (VPE) represents a non-invasive solution to allow a smooth and natural interaction between a human user and a robotic system, without requiring complex calibration procedures. Moreover, VPE interfaces are gaining momentum as they are highly intuitive, such that they can be used from untrained personnel (e.g., a generic caregiver) even in delicate tasks as rehabilita...
متن کاملDesign and Optimization of an EEG-Based Brain Machine Interface (BMI) to an Upper-Limb Exoskeleton for Stroke Survivors
This study demonstrates the feasibility of detecting motor intent from brain activity of chronic stroke patients using an asynchronous electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain machine interface (BMI). Intent was inferred from movement related cortical potentials (MRCPs) measured over an optimized set of EEG electrodes. Successful intent detection triggered the motion of an upper-limb exoskeleto...
متن کاملDesign of a Passive Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Macaque Monkeys
Integrating an exoskeleton as the external apparatus for a brain–machine interface (BMI) has the advantage of providing multiple contact points to determine body segment postures and allowing control to and feedback from each joint. When using macaques as subjects to study the neural control of movement, an upper limb exoskeleton design with unlikely singularity is required to guarantee safe an...
متن کاملContralesional Brain–Computer Interface Control of a Powered Exoskeleton for Motor Recovery in Chronic Stroke Survivors
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are few effective therapies to achieve functional recovery from motor-related disabilities affecting the upper limb after stroke. This feasibility study tested whether a powered exoskeleton driven by a brain-computer interface (BCI), using neural activity from the unaffected cortical hemisphere, could affect motor recovery in chronic hemiparetic stroke survivors. Th...
