Article Abstract

Hand motor impairment has seriously affected the daily life of the elderly. We developed an electromyography (EMG) exosuit system with bidirectional hand support for bilateral coordination assistance based on a dynamic gesture recognition model using graph convolutional network (GCN) and long short-term memory network (LSTM). The system included a hardware subsystem and a software subsystem. The hardware subsystem included an exosuit jacket, a backpack module, an EMG recognition module, and a bidirectional support glove. The software subsystem based on the dynamic gesture recognition model was designed to identify dynamic and static gestures by extracting the spatio-temporal features of the patient's EMG signals and to control glove movement. The offline training experiment built the gesture recognition models for each subject and evaluated the feasibility of the recognition model; the online control experiments verified the effectiveness of the exosuit system. The experimental results showed that the proposed model achieve a gesture recognition rate of 96.42% ± 3.26 %, which is higher than the other three traditional recognition models. All subjects successfully completed two daily tasks within a short time and the success rate of bilateral coordination assistance are 88.75% and 86.88%. The exosuit system can effectively help patients by bidirectional hand support strategy for bilateral coordination assistance in daily tasks, and the proposed method can be applied to various limb assistance scenarios.

Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and robotic applications. Nevertheless, it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility, adhesion, self-healing, and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics. Herein, we report a multifunctional, anti-freezing, self-adhesive, and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CoN CNT) embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin (PVA/GLE) matrix.

Hydrogels hold great promises in intelligent wearable gesture-to-recognition translation devices, but high mechanical robustness usually encounters low sensitivity and poor cycling stability, it is pivotal and challenging to balance energy dissipation and conductivity. Herein, the soft-hard multiphase hydrogels have been proposed for the first time through noncovalently threading polymerizable deep eutectic solvent (PDES) into hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs). Fluorine groups on HOF (HOF-F) are presented as the hydrogen bond acceptors to form multiple noncovalent interactions between HOF-F and PDES, which expedites the energy dissipation with synchronous increment of ion transport in hydrogels.

Dynamic vision sensors (DVS) asynchronously encode the polarity of brightness changes with high temporal resolution and a wide dynamic range, making them ideal for capturing temporal information. Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are well-suited for handling such event streams due to their inherent temporal information processing capability. However, existing SNNs only transmit membrane potential across timesteps, neglecting spatial dependencies and failing to extract complex temporal features.

Around the turn of the millennium, the social representation of minorities in Western societies shifted from marginalized deviants to victims of injustice, prompting calls for recognition and reparation. Drawing on the social identity tradition, we argue that this shift in representation gave rise to new identity needs, with victim groups seeking to restore their agentic identity and perpetrator groups their moral identity. We review two research trends that emerged from this shift in representation and its relationship to identity needs.
