Hand Recognise Gestures Using Wearable Biosensors

 

This gestures algorithm has been taught to recognise 21 unique hand gestures,
including thumbs-up , fist , flat hand , holding up individual fingers and counting numbers



This device uses wearable biosensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to recognise 
hand gestures from electrical signals in the persons forearm

This device was developed by team of international researchers,
the device can potentially help control prosthetic limbs using electrical signal.

The team detailed their work in a paper titled ' A wearable bio sensing system with in-sensor adaptive machine learning  for hand gestures recognition'


The bio sensing device has a flexible armband to detect electrical signals 

from 64 points on the forearm .Its also has an AI- powered electrical chip correlate  with signal patterns detected in the forearm with specific hand gestures




"When you want your hand muscles to contract , your brain sends electrical signals 

through neurons in your neck and shoulders to muscles fibres in your arms and hands ,Essentially ,what the electrodes in the cuff are sensing is this electrical field," Ali Moin ,a doctoroal student at UC Berkeley , explained in a release.


The training process innvolves wearing the cuff and performing specific hand 

gestures , one at a time , to help AI learn. According to the researchers, a new 

type of advanced AI used in the device , can also update itself with new information




"Reading hand gestures is one way of improving human-computing interaction.

And, while there are other ways to doing that , by, for instance , using cameras 

and computer vision , this is a good solution that also maintains an individual's privacy," Moin noted.


As the electronic chip does all the processing locally , it reduces the computing 

times, and also does not transmit a user's transmit a user's personal data to other 

other devices in close proximity , the release stated.


"Most of these technologies already exist elsewhere , but what's unique about this device is that it integrates the bio sensing, signal processing and interpretation , and artificial intelligence into one system that is relatively small and flexible and has a low power budget," Jan Rabaey , professor of Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley and lead author of the paper , said.




The device still needs too developed for use in commercial products.

Sunil Gavaskar History

Sunil Manohar Gavaskar   is an Indian cricket commentator and former cricketer representing India and Bombay from the early 1970s to the late 1980s. One of the best opening batsmen in Test cricket history, He set world records during his career for the most Test runs and most Test centuries scored by any batsman. He held the record of 34 Test centuries for almost two decades before it was broken by Sachin Tendulkar . He was the first person to score centuries in both innings of a Test match three times. He was the first Test batsman to score 10,000 Test runs. Gavaskar was admired for his technique against fast bowling, with a high average of 65.45 against the West Indies . most of Gavaskar's centuries against West Indies were against their second string team. Turbulent performances of the team led to multiple exchanges of captaincy between Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, with one of Gavaskar's sackings coming just six months before Kapil led India to victory at the 1983 Cricket World ...

Smartphone will evolve 2021?

how smartphone camera can further change. But, that’s the most interesting part about technology - it keeps evolving. Here is a look at how smartphones will evolve in 2021.   There was a time when a dual rear camera smartphone was a flex. Now, it is a necessity, not luxury. That’s how far the smartphone cameras have come in the past few years. Triple rear camera modules are common in the budget and mid-range segments while quad-cam modules have also made their way to the sub-Rs 15,000 category. It’s not just the number of lenses or megapixels but even the camera technologies are fast evolving. Night Modes are becoming increasingly popular and several flagship-level smartphones are making 8K video recording possible. With so many changes already taking place, it’s hard to imagine how smartphone camera can further change. But, that’s the most interesting part about technology - it keeps evolving. Here is a look at how smartphones will evolve in 2021. 8K Video Recording to Become...

Microsoft apps change 2021?

Microsoft pulled out all the stops when it said its Windows 10 platform is the most advanced one. This also meant that the company will not launch successive OS versions. Instead, it will keep pushing several changes - both big and small - to polish the Windows 10. Among these changes is the design upgrade that has kept Microsoft busy for a long time now. And we are now seeing what could be some of those changes that Windows 10 will likely have going forward. The company is changing how apps look in their dynamic state, along with several other changes to small elements in the design. According to the proposal document posted by Microsoft on GitHub, spotted by WindowsLatest, the big UI refresh in Windows 10 might arrive sometime in 2021. Although the changes have been mentioned in the proposal right now, meaning there is no testing going right now. There will be changes to the ListView, GridView, and majorly to the XAML apps that are available from the Windows Store. The biggest reaso...
