Using the random convolutional kernels transform (RCKT), this approach brings remarkable precision to movement classification. 🔍 Imagine the possibilities: more intuitive control for upper limb prosthetics, improved rehabilitation outcomes, and a transformative impact on assistive technologies. With RCKT, we’re closer than ever to devices that respond seamlessly to the user's intent, enhancing functionality and quality of life. 👇 Discover the full research here https://lnkd.in/dBaY5V-Y #prosthetics #sEMG #machinelearning #randomkernels #handmovement #wristmovement #assistivetechnology #innovation #biomedicalengineering #healthtech #research #rehabilitation #upperlimb #classification #signalprocessing #qualityoflife #technology

🚀 Progress Update from IntelliMan Project! 🌟 The IntelliMan Project is proud to announce the completion of the second version of our adaptive, sensorized gripper at the Università degli Studi di Genova. This upgraded model offers improved grip adaptability and features integrated tactile sensors, enhancing precision in robotic manipulation.

Vanvitelli" and their supervisors GIOVANNI BERSELLI and Salvatore Pirozzi and for their invaluable support. Exciting advancements ahead as we continue to push the boundaries of robotic innovation! 🤖💪 #IntelliMan #AdaptiveGripper #RoboticsInnovation #UniGE #UCLV 

Robotic manipulation of fresh fruits and vegetables — especially the ability to grasp multiple loose items — addresses a significant industrial demand but still presents challenges for solution providers. As part of the IntelliMan project, at Ocado Technology we're investigating various human grasping and manipulation strategies for picking loose produce. This research is key to developing more efficient robotic prototypes that leverage a range of cutting-edge advancements. In our recent publication, we introduced a robotic demonstrator designed for intelligent manipulation of fresh fruits and vegetables and highlighted the necessity for generic approaches to manage the task's complexities. In this work we present a first version of a robotic setup designed to pick different single or multiple fresh items, featuring multi-fingered compliant robotic gripper. We analyse human grasping strategies from the perspective of industrial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used in the logistic sector. The robotic system was validated using the same KPIs, as well as taking into account human performance and strategies. This paper lays the foundation for future development of the robotic demonstrator for fresh fruit and vegetable intelligent manipulation, and outlines the need for generic approaches to handle the complexity of the task. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate in the field of robotics! #AI #Robotics #RoboticManipulation #OcadoTechnology
