MuscleSense

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

MuscleSense is a real-time auditory biofeedback system that uses sparse thigh-worn IMU and sEMG to infer feedback-oriented muscle-effort states and support eyes-free regulation during lower-limb exercise.

The project connects wearable physiological sensing, on-device inference, and closed-loop user feedback, making muscle effort easier to perceive and regulate during training, rehabilitation, and everyday movement.

HALO

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

HALO studies hidden activation-loading organization: how motion, contact pressure, biomechanical loading, and muscle activation interact beneath observable movement.

The project aims to infer these latent structures from practical sparse wearable signals, making biomechanical organization more accessible outside the lab and easier to connect with feedback-driven mobile health applications.

Wearable Movement Understanding

Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This project line studies how sparse wearable sensors can move from tracking observable body motion to inferring deeper biomechanical and physiological signals such as plantar pressure, ground reaction force, kinetics, muscle activation, and physical interaction.

It connects systems including PressInPose, Motion2Press, KineticsSense, MuscleSense, HALO, and WatchForce into a coherent research route for everyday hidden-state understanding, mobile deployment, and closed-loop wearable feedback.
