Robotics:Berkeley Bionics - Introducing eLEGS

2010-10-09T17:10:52.886Z

On Oct. 7, 2010, we unveiled eLEGS, an exoskeleton for wheelchair users who are committed to living life to its fullest. It powers you up to get you standing and walking.

STTCResearch | August 20, 2010

This is a demonstration of maneuvering through virtual space using a Brain Computer Interface and a Head Mounted Display. Total cost $2,100.

I am controlling the virtual world entirely through the two headsets I am wearing, no-one is helping my avatar. What I am seeing in the head mounted display is also projected on the screen to the left.

Simulation: Project LifeLike - Computer Interfaces that Learn

2009-01-25T14:08:53.093Z

This collaborative research project investigates, develops and evaluates lifelike, natural computer interfaces as portals to intelligent programs in the context of Decision Support System (DSS).

The goal of this effort is to provide a natural interface that supports realistic spoken dialog and non-verbal cues that is capable of learning to maintain its knowledge current and correct. Research objectives focus around the development of an avatar-based interface with which the DSS user can interact.

Communication with the avatar will occur in spoken natural language combined with gestural expressions or pointing on the screen.

This project extends a current National Science Foundation-sponsored DSS-based project on information gathered about Dr. Alex Schwarzkopf of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) Program.

This project is a collaboration between the Intelligent Systems Laboratory (ISL) at the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).

The EVL team's focus is on avatar development encompassing Visualization and Interaction with Realistic Avatars and Evaluation of System Naturalness and Usability. The ISL team's focus is on Natural Language Recognition and on Automated Knowledge Update and refinement.

Imaging: Human Brain Magnetic Resonance / Diffusion Tensor Imaging

2008-10-05T21:11:42.784Z

Courtesy of Brain dataset from Gordon Kindlmann at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute, University of Utah, and Andrew Alexander, W. M. Keck Laboratory for Functional Brain Imaging and Behavior, University of Wisconsin-Madison this is a demonstration of DT-MRI (Diffusion Tensor - Magnetic Resonance Imaging). An advanced medical imaging technique that allows in vivo measuring of location and orientation of nerve fibers in human brain. Water molecules move (diffuse) along nerve fibers, and the diffusion anisotropy can be measured and displayed.

Functional MRI method measures blood oxygen level and thus neuronal activity of the brain. By combining both techniques neural bundles involved in certain activities can be visualized.
