Advancing Assistive Robotics through Intelligent Physiological Sensing

Advances in physiological sensing have provided catalysed innovation in the fields of assistive robotics, rehabilitation and augmentation of human performance by providing quantifiable means of learning from human movement, responding to human intention, and improving decision making capabilities for coordinating control of assistive robotic devices and augmentative technology.

In this workshop, we will introduce fundamental concepts related to intelligent sensing of physiological signals, and present applications showcasing how they can be applied to provide context-aware information for personalizing assistive devices for speech synthesis, for developing physiologically-based human-machine interfaces, and for quantifying human movement based on activity state detection.
