3 papers for ICRA2020, 2 papers were journal option

3 papers have been accepted for ICRA2020 Paris!!

  1. Simultaneous On-line Motion Discrimination and Evaluation of Whole-body Exercise by Synergy Probes for Home Rehabilitation, IEEE Int. Conf. on Robotics and Automation, (2020), (accepted), Felipe M. Ramos, M. Hayashibe, (ICRA2020 Paris)  This paper is important work for On-line Synergy Tracking which allows simultaneous motion discrimination and motion evaluation with home setting!!
  2. Motor Synergy Development in High-performing Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithms, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, (2020),(accepted), Jiazheng Chai, M. Hayashibe, (ICRA2020 Paris) This paper is important work for revealing what is going on under deep reinforcement learning in motion learning. Spatio-temporal synergy is emerged in the course of learning without specifying any synergy usage!!
  3. Discovering Interpretable Dynamics by Sparsity Promotion on Energy and the Lagrangian, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, (2020), (accepted), Hoang K. Chu, M. Hayashibe, (ICRA2020 Paris) This paper is important work for discovering analytical dynamics with experimental observation. Sparse Analytical models for unknown dynamics could be obtained from observation of mass motion with white-box approach!!

TVTS paper (Time-Varying and Time-Scalable Synergy) is accepted both for RAL journal and IROS2019!

Identification of Time-Varying and Time-Scalable Synergies From Continuous Electromyographic Patterns, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, (2019), Felipe M. Ramos, Andrea d’Avella, Mitsuhiro Hayashibe, (accepted both for RAL journal and IROS2019 Macau)

Existing Time-Varying synergy may detect different speed motions as different synergy combination as time component is different between slow and fast movement. However, in neuroscience perspective, it should come from common synergy just with different speed control. The proposed method allows to make new analysis for auto-identify the common synergy over different speed motions during the synergy extraction.

15th Annual Delsys Prize 2017

(from Delsys website)

The De Luca Foundation, USA is pleased to announce that the 15th Annual Delsys Prize for Innovation in Electromyography was awarded to Dr. Mitsuhiro Hayashibe of Tohoku University, Japan.

Dr. Hayashibe’s winning proposal, titled “Evoked Electromyographically Controlled Electrical Stimulation”, was selected from a field of 135 entries from 30 countries. The entries represented a remarkably broad range of interests in diverse areas such as Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Signal Processing, Facial EMG, Robotics, Rehabilitation, and various others.

It is heartening to witness the growth and continuing maturation of the field of Electromyography.

We are honored to play a small part in this success story by illuminating outstanding contributions to the field.

We would like to thank the Delsys Prize Review Board Members: Dr. Andrea d’Avella (Italy), Dr. Kevin Englehart (Canada), Dr. Jim Richards (UK), and Dr. Helen Huang (USA), for taking part in choosing the winner.
