Haptic feedback is integral to the improved experience of prosthetic users and the reduction in prosthesis rejection. Unfortunately, existing haptic feedback systems often face challenges that impede their transition to clinical use including lack of intuitive control, reproducibility, and personalized customization. Prior studies have explored various methods to encode tactile information and deliver vibration feedback. However, a comprehensive study comparing performance across different stimulation locations and feedback modalities for wearable devices is absent and there is no robust test platform. This paper proposes an open-source reconfigurable haptic feedback system which features 25 sensors and wireless communication to allow customized number of vibration motors, adjustable motor placement, and programmable encoding of tactile data to change feedback modalities. To demonstrate the potential studies that can be investigated using the proposed system, we conducted two preliminary experiments: 1) to assess the vibration discrimination accuracy on three body parts (upper arm, shoulder, and lower back) 2) to evaluate the effect of six methods of mapping tactile data to varying number of motors on object manipulation. This proposed tool utilizes low-cost off-the-shelf components, enabling large-scale comparative studies of feedback modalities and stimulation sites to optimize vibrotactile feedback and facilitate its deployment in upper limb prostheses.
We overview the previously published work for object detection in low light and occlusion using deep learning and polarimetric 3D integral imaging. 3D polarimetric integral imaging outperformed in object detection and...

Conversational Emotional Climate Recognition (CERC) endeavors to uncover the subtle emotional undercurrents inherent in spoken interactions, offering profound insights into the intricate fabric of social dynamics. This paper introduces MLSwarm, an innovative CERC method that seamlessly integrates machine learning and swarm decomposition (SWD). MLSwarm meticulously applies swarm decomposition to audio signals, extracting components, and subsequently derives Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) from these components, yielding nine distinctive features. Evaluated in two configurations, MLSwarm attains noteworthy accuracy: 76.7A/65.3V and 79.2A/73.6V. While SWD empowers ML-Swarm to unlock intricate patterns within audio signals, it’s the integration of affect dynamics (AD) that truly elevates its performance. This potent combination not only amplifies MLSwarm’s accuracy in deciphering emotional tones but also grants deep insights into the delicate emotional dynamics underlying social interactions. The findings emphasize MLSwarm’s effectiveness in capturing the emotional tone of conversations between peers, enriching our comprehension of the emotional dynamics at play in social interactions.

The electrification of the transportation sector plays a crucial role in reducing the global carbon footprint. Among the various solutions, catenary-based electric vehicles have attracted a great deal of interest from researchers and practitioners. This article considers a vehicle powered by a battery energy storage system (BESS) and a catenary system and proposes a robust finite-time longitudinal speed control strategy. Drawing inspiration from the Second-Order Sliding Mode (2-SOSM) methodology, the approach ensures that the control input remains within the limits set by the maximum torque of the motor. The strategy demonstrates robustness against uncertainties and disturbances, eliminating the need to know the model parameters. The simulation case study considers the effects of real road data, including slope variations, on power management. A comparative analysis with the conventional Proportional Integral (PI) method highlights the superior performance of the proposed strategy.
