Seminar Description Recently, fabrication of the flexible and stretchable sensors is extensively investigated especially for the biomedical applications in the context of health monitoring systems. This sensor could be developed into wearable or skin-attachable devices. Various techniques might be ... Continue

Seminar Description Recently, the use of 3D-printing technology for the manufacturing of sensors is gaining increasingly interest in the field of sensor fabrication technology. 3D printing provides the fabrication of complex geometric forms along with combining of selected functional components int... Continue

The aim of the seminar is to design knowledge extraction algorithms based on deep learning techniques for activity recognition in free-living using wearable sensing systems. Challenges will be related to imbalance of target classes, scarcity of computational resources and design of parallel computin... Continue

The aim of the project is to design an energy-efficient context-aware strategy for activity recognition using sparse sampling and sensor data compression. Prototyping will be done in Python. Evaluation will be performed on free-living dataset and benchmarked in terms of energy/memory savings, time c... Continue

Seminar description Smart environments contain a "zoo" of devices which make them smart. The challenge is always to configure a unified control system which will cope with the different types of devices and providers for a smart environment installation. In this seminar, we will analyze some of the... Continue

Seminar description In machine learning, tasks like parametric search or cross-validation are time intensive. In this seminar, we will explore how to use multithreading, multiprocessing, and compute clusters to reduce the execution time of machine learning frameworks. Additionally, we will cover so... Continue

Course/Project description Chewing and biting are two interesting targets of dietary monitoring. The proposed student project aims at offering a wearable solution of chewing and biting monitoring in free-living by integrating sensors in smart eyeglasses. In the first stage, chewing and biting senso... Continue

Course/Project description Chewing is an essential component of eating. Chewing cycles can be recorded using various sensors and detected applying appropriate algorithms. However, evaluating a chewing detection algorithm is usually difficult due to the lack of accurate ground truth. It is even more... Continue

Course description Wearable sensor technology, particularly inertial measurement sensors are used in various motion analysis including applications in sport, medicine, and rehabilitation of patients after stroke. However, how would a hemiparetic stroke patient attach a sensor to the wrist? The ques... Continue

Course description Nordic Walking is a complex sport including interactions between upper and lower-body and body-sides. Nordic Walking provides many health benefits, i.e. cardio-vascular fitness when performed correctly [cite 77PC8SN4 AR5ZX563]. In this work, we aim to extend our analysis for the ... Continue
