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 mount a sensor? In the initial Iron m... Continue

Project description The projects intends to integrate advanced behaviour inference algorithms for sleep, diet, and other daily rhythms based on various smartphone sensors to investigate health trends in patients outside the hospital. The work will start from existing pattern inference algorithms an... Continue

Local storage is a fundamental component in many wearable sensing applications. While trade-offs between computation and transmission have been intensively studied, little research exists in optimisation of memory storage resources. Current flash memories offer a cheap, high-capacity and energy-effi... Continue

FABLE (Fingers Activated By Low-cost Electronics) is an open-source project for an electromechanical 3D-printed hand. Through the acquisition of signals generated by the muscles myoelectric contraction next to the elbow, it will determine precise finger movements. A main challenge for the deploymen... Continue

Project description Benefits from characterization of the patient's routines goes into medical diagnosis and care of elderly people to assess individual's physical and mental conditions. Annotation techniques to collect reference data are expensive, time-consuming and error-prone. This project aim... Continue

Project description As IoT devices find their way to peoples households, their privacy is being compromised. Smart devices communicate constantly with their manufacturer's online infrastructure to retrieve updates and upload information into the cloud for analysis and the user's ease of access. The... Continue

Orientation estimation from Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) signal is a fundamental tool in several fields as activity recognition, rehabilitation robotics, surgical robotics and so forth. Among many parameterisations of attitude, only quaternions does not suffer from the problem of singularity, a.k... Continue

Smartphones, in combination with external sensors, permit a variety of measurement applications, particularly interesting for sports. In this thesis we intend to investigate outdoor Nordic Walking movement using an Android smartphone App and regression-based skill estimation. In this project, you wi... Continue

Wearable sensor technology, particularly inertial measurement sensors are used in various motion analysis including applications in sport, medicine, and rehabilitation of patients after stroke. Wearability and sensor placement are related and influence measurements, particularly sensor offsets are c... 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. Such sensor modalities are nowadys integrated in smartphones, thus offer various mobil... Continue
