BACKGROUND Noninvasive recording of movements caused by the heartbeat and the blood circulation is known as ballistocardiography. Several studies have shown the capability of a force plate to detect cardiac activity in the human body. The aim of this paper is to present a new method based on differential geometry of curves to handle multivariate time series obtained by ballistocardiographic for...

Force controlled series elastic actuators (SEA’s) are widely used components of novel physical human-robot interaction applications such as assistive and rehabilitation robotics. These systems are characterized by the presence of the “human in the loop” so that control response and stability depend on uncertain human dynamics. A common approach to guarantee stability is to use a passivity-based...

In this study, human robot collaboration (HRC) via force myography (FMG) bio-signal was investigated. Interactive hand estimated during moving a wooden rod in 3D with Kuka robot. A baseline FMG-based deep convolutional neural network (FMG-DCNN) model could moderately estimate applied forces the HRC task. Model performance can be improved additional training data; however, collection of it impra...
