As part of BioRob2020, researchers at Altec Inc. are hosting a virtual workshop “Advancing Assistive Robotics through Intelligent Physiological Sensing”. In this workshop, they 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.
