The use of prostheses is necessary to restore lost limbs to a level of functionality to enable activity of daily living. Many prostheses are now using myoelectric based control techniques to operate. However, to develop a model based controller for the system remains a challenge as accurate model is necessary. This study investigates the use of electromyogram and ultrasound signal to predict thumb tip force based on Hill's Muscle model. The results obtained has shown a significant improvement in the prediction of thumb tip force as much as 31.45% of average RMSE over the benchmark model that leverages on biomechanics model and active marker to characterize the muscle.
In the era of internet and wireless, an online community reporting system that is easy to use and hustle free is much needed to allow the user to place a misconduct report to the relevant authority. The available system is inefficient and time-consuming since mostly are using web-based which makes the user unwilling to make a report to the authority. The objective of this project is to design a system using android application that is cost-effective and easy to use. The scope of this project is on the road violation reporting system. The outcome of the system will provide a user with an easy reporting system and also the authority can manage the report easily. The development of the system is expected to enhance the reporting system and betterment for the community as well as the authority as a whole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
