It’s been a busy few months since we posted that FlexGrid live prediction demo back in July. Here’s where everything stands. Writing Our First Research Paper The biggest update is that we’ve been writing a formal research paper for HardwareX…
One day, while scrolling through the internet, I came across a video that stopped me in my tracks. It was about a man with no arms who had undergone surgery to move nerves into his pectoral muscles. This transformation enabled…
We are excited to announce that our innovative finger tracking sensor, Open Muscle, has been submitted to the Supply Frame contest on hackaday.io. Open Muscle is a device designed to track finger movements, making it a valuable tool for building…
After obtaining initial results, I conducted further studies on myself to ensure that the random forest regressor was not simply memorizing the data. I employed a method that involved starting two separate sessions for open muscle and LASK data capture,…
Abstract In this study, we present a novel and cost-effective method for detecting individual finger movements using a custom pressure sensor array based on Hall effect sensors and magnets. Twelve sensors were placed radially around the forearm, and machine learning…
The Quest for the Perfect Material to Optimize Sensor Performance Introduction: Welcome to another exciting blog post on openmuscle.org/, where we delve into the fascinating world of muscle-based finger movement sensor systems! Today, we will be discussing the current research…
The field of wearable technology and human-machine interfaces has made significant strides over the past few years. The development of ‘Open Muscle,’ an innovative system that utilizes 12 pressure sensors built with hall effect sensors and magnets with springs in…
Open Muscle, an innovative project aimed at detecting finger movement and pressure using a forearm bracelet, has recently achieved a remarkable milestone. By using just 5 minutes of training data gathered from the Open Muscle 12 and the LASK4 device,…
The field of prosthetics has advanced tremendously in recent years, thanks to cutting-edge technology and the collaborative efforts of researchers and engineers worldwide. Open Muscle, an open-source and open hardware project, is at the forefront of this innovation, harnessing the…
We are excited to share our latest findings in predicting finger movement and pressure using machine learning. The results show that our model is capable of predicting the finger movement within a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 25, which is…
