Efficient upper limb position estimation based on angular displacement sensors for wearable devices

Motion tracking techniques have been extensively studied in recent years. However, capturing movements of the upper limbs is a challenging task. This document presents the estimation of arm orientation and elbow and wrist position using wearable flexible sensors (WFSs). A study was developed to obta...

However, capturing movements of the upper limbs is a challenging task. This document presents the estimation of arm orientation and elbow and wrist position using wearable flexible sensors (WFSs). A study was developed to obtain the highest range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder with as few sensors as possible, and a method for estimating arm length and a calibration procedure was proposed. Performance was verified by comparing measurement of the shoulder joint angles obtained from commercial two-axis soft angular displacement sensors (sADS) from Bend Labs and from the ground truth system (GTS) OptiTrack. The global root-mean-square error (RMSE) for the shoulder angle is 2.93 degrees and 37.5 mm for the position estimation of the wrist in cyclical movements; this measure of RMSE was improved to 13.6 mm by implementing a gesture classifier.This work has been partially supported by the project “LUXBIT: Lightweight Upper limbs eXosuit for BImanual Task Enhancement” under RTI2018-094346-B-I00 grant, funded by the Spanish “Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades”.Peer reviewedMolecular Diversity Preservation InternationalMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (España)Contreras-González, Aldo-Francisco [0000-0003-0627-1832]Ferre, Manuel [0000-0003-0030-1551]Sánchez-Urán, Miguel Ángel [0000-0001-6652-0090]Sáez-Sáez, Francisco Javier [0000-0002-9750-8606]Blaya Haro, Fernando [0000-0001-9151-9067]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202120212020info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/230580reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
