We would like to directly estimate biomechanical data from inertial measurement unit (IMU) data. Biomechanical models are time consuming, but at the same time, machine learning is limited because it is difficult to create large enough experimental datasets to perform training. In this paper, we comb...

After smart conversational agents, such as Siri, Amazon Alexa, or Google Home, have been made available to the broader public, we speculate that applying them as a mediator for adaptive environments reduces control complexity and increases user experience by providing a more natural interaction. In ...

Teamed up with STABILO and the Fraunhofer IIS in Nuremberg, the MaD Lab is taking part in the Ubicomp 2020 conference with Stabilos Time Series Classification Challenge. What’s the challenge? Stabilo built a sensor-equipped pen that writes on normal paper. The challenge is to build a classifier t...

Mobile gait analysis using wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) provides valuable insights for the assessment of movement impairments in different neurological and musculoskeletal diseases, like Parkinson's disease. In the journal article "Detection of gait from continuous inertial sensor data...
