My goal is to experience many aha moments in life! Current research topics of interest to me include the following:
Deep Learning approaches for upper limb prosthesis control
Classification versus RCNN Regression-based
solution for upper limb prosthesis control
Heather E. Williams, Jacqueline S. Hebert, Patrick M. Pilarski, Ahmed W. Shehata, “Evidence that a deep learning regression-based controller mitigates the limb position effect for an individual with transradial amputation,” the Myoelectric Controls Symposium (MEC24), August 12–15, 2024, Fredericton, Canada.
