In recent years, advancements in rehabilitation techniques have been made to leverage biosignals and passive movement as integral components of physical interventions to restore upper limb mobility in people with disabilities. This study introduces a novel Motor Imagery (MI) protocol based on Action Observation (AO) using static visual cues and a robotic glove used in the right hand. To address this, Machine Learning (ML) techniques were assessed using features based on Power Spectral Density (PSD) in the mu (μ, 8–13 Hz) and beta (β, 13–30 Hz) frequency bands. Four distinct classifiers were explored: Kernel Naive Bayes (NB), Quadratic Support Vector Machine (QSVM), Fine k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and Logistic Regression (LR). These classifiers were employed to discriminate between open- and closed-hand MI tasks. Based on the evaluated metrics, it was concluded that the implemented methodology is feasible for classifying MI tasks from the same limb, where the QSVM classifier showed the most promising results, with a mean accuracy of approximately 75%. Future work will focus on implementing the system to control the robotic glove in the context of post-stroke rehabilitation, underscoring its potential clinical utility.

In recent years, advances in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have gained recognition for the design of rehabilitation and/or assistance strategies for populations with neuromotor disabilities. In BCIs, the study of EEG phenomena during hand Motor Imagery (MI) tasks is still challenging. Therefore, to deepen the field, a novel protocol based on MI tasks is proposed in this study, which is compared to the classical MI protocol based on static Action Observation (AO). The proposed protocol is based on a combination of visual stimulation by AO and passive movements generated by a robotic glove. To address cortical effects, Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis was performed to examine the differences in cortical rhythms in the frequency domain. The results allow concluding that the use of the robotic glove generated a greater decrease in power (desynchronization) in the central parietal cortex of the brain, especially for electrode C3. These findings allow further neuroscience studies and will be used to deepen the analysis and detection of MI patterns towards a BCI-controlled upper limb assistance device.

An important aspect of medium and large photovoltaic systems is the ability to predict future electricity generation based on predicted meteorological data as well as the technical and structural characteristics of the system. This prediction can be enabled by applying mathematical models or artificial intelligence. This study aims to develop a reliable and valid computational model using measurements from a real 119 kWp photovoltaic plant at the Federal Institute of Espirito Santo. The model considers meteorological data from a solarimetric station located in the same area, as well as system losses in both AC and DC components. The results indicate that the simulated generation closely aligned with the actual figures, achieving an acceptable low percentage error, less than 0.5%, during the period from September to December 2022.

One of the most important tasks in autonomous driving and autonomous vehicle navigation is detecting a path or trajectory that the vehicle should follow. Over the past few years, some learning-based works have stood out more than traditional computer vision techniques in detecting such lanes. In this paper we present an approach to solve the lane line detection problem in the context of visual path following by using a residual factorized convolutional neural network. Experimental results show a promising model that can detect lane lines even under severe lighting conditions and in the presence of occlusions and shadows. The path detection system was tested along with a visual path following formulation based on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control. Still, it can be used for any controller in the context of visual navigation for autonomous vehicles. Nonetheless, the proposed model architecture strikes a remarkable balance between accuracy and efficiency, making the system suitable for real-time applications.

This paper presents a trajectory planning and obstacle avoidance system for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) in complex and dynamic navigation environments. The developed system employs a modified Artificial Potential Field (APF) algorithm and the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) to ensure safe and efficient navigation. Modifications were implemented to the original algorithm to deal with obstacles approaching the autonomous vehicle, including adding vectors to determine the direction of deviation based on the cross-product. The proposed system was validated in the Gazebo simulation environment within a dynamic scenario featuring static and moving obstacles.
