Understanding LSTM Network Behaviour of IMU-Based Locomotion Mode Recognition for Applications in Prostheses and Wearables.

Human Locomotion Mode Recognition (LMR) has the potential to be used as a control mechanism for lower-limb active prostheses. Active prostheses can assist and restore a more natural gait for amputees, but as a medical device it must minimize user risks, such as falls and trips. As such, any control system must have high accuracy and robustness, with a detailed understanding of its internal operation.

Object recognition combining vision and touch.

This paper explores ways of combining vision and touch for the purpose of object recognition. In particular, it focuses on scenarios when there are few tactile training samples (as these are usually costly to obtain) and when vision is artificially impaired. Whilst machine vision is a widely studied field, and machine touch has received some attention recently, the fusion of both modalities remains a relatively unexplored area.
