Towards Online Robot Interaction Adaptation to Human Upper-limb Mobility Impairments in Return-to-Work Scenarios
Work environments are often inadequate and lack inclusivity for individuals with upper-body disabilities. This paper presents a novel online framework for adaptive human-robot interaction (HRI) that accommodates users' arm mobility impairments, ultimately aiming to promote active work participation. Unlike traditional human-robot collaboration approaches that assume able-bodied users, our method integrates a mobility model for specific joint limitations into a hierarchical optimal controller.

Towards Electrophysiological and Histological Mapping of Upper Limb Nerves in Pigs Using Epineural Stimulation
Understanding the relationship between nerve anatomy and the functional outcomes of electrical stimulation is critical for optimizing neural interface design. In this study, we conducted acute experiments on four pigs in which epineural cuff electrodes with multiple contacts were placed around upper limb nerves. A subset of electrical stimulation configurations -- previously identified via computational study -- was applied, and the resulting evoked electromyographic (EMG) responses were record…

The murder tree has been handled in the backyard—no fear of being crushed by the next breeze to take down a limb.

People often forget that even with an implant for restoring bodily functions (such as vision or limb movement), rehab typically involves months and years of follow-up training for half-decent results, without cost/benefit guarantees beforehand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVugtxWmW4E Neuralink B…

Solar limb faculae: intensity contrast from two vantage points
Small-scale magnetic flux concentrations contribute significantly to the brightness variations of the Sun, yet observing them - particularly their magnetic field - near the solar limb remains challenging. Solar Orbiter offers an unprecedented second vantage point for observing the Sun. When combined with observations from the perspective of Earth, this enables simultaneous dual-viewpoint measurements of these magnetic structures, thereby helping to mitigate observational limitations. Using such…

Limb Asymmetries on WASP-39b: A Multi-GCM Comparison of Chemistry, Clouds, and Hazes
With JWST, observing separate spectra of the morning and evening limbs of hot Jupiters has finally become a reality. The first such observation was reported for WASP-39b, where the evening terminator was observed to have a larger transit radius by about 400 ppm and a stronger 4.3 $μ$m CO$_2$ feature than the morning terminator. Multiple factors, including temperature differences, photo/thermochemistry, clouds and hazes, could cause such limb asymmetries. To interpret these new limb asymmetry o…

Megan Kelly on alleged war crimes:
"I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump & Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Lost broadband, 4g access is spotty, lots of trees down on the roads, and it's a matter of time before the electricity goes too, but our house had a near miss!

STM32MP2 update: I think I have a pretty decent idea of how to boot the second A35 core (core 1) once I have core 0 running.
Still working on how to start core 0 so I can get to that point.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say this probably isn't how ST intends you to figure out the boot chain though...

Just spent the last two days on a Remote Area First Aid course, run by JP of the Overland Guide Association. Really enjoyed it and definitely learned lots.

Multi-stage robust nonlinear model predictive control of a lower-limb exoskeleton robot
The use of exoskeleton robots is increasing due to the rising number of musculoskeletal injuries. However, their effectiveness depends heavily on the design of control systems. Designing robust controllers is challenging because of uncertainties in human-robot systems. Among various control strategies, Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a powerful approach due to its ability to handle constraints and optimize performance. Previous studies have used linearization-based methods to implement robust…

AJAHR: Amputated Joint Aware 3D Human Mesh Recovery
Existing human mesh recovery methods assume a standard human body structure, overlooking diverse anatomical conditions such as limb loss. This assumption introduces bias when applied to individuals with amputations - a limitation further exacerbated by the scarcity of suitable datasets. To address this gap, we propose Amputated Joint Aware 3D Human Mesh Recovery (AJAHR), which is an adaptive pose estimation framework that improves mesh reconstruction for individuals with limb loss. Our model in…

microJAX: A Differentiable Framework for Microlensing Modeling with GPU-Accelerated Image-Centered Ray Shooting
We introduce microJAX, the first fully differentiable implementation of the image-centered ray-shooting (ICRS) algorithm for gravitational microlensing. Built on JAX and its XLA just-in-time compiler, microJAX exploits GPU parallelism while providing exact gradients through automatic differentiation. The current release supports binary- and triple-lens geometries, including limb-darkened extended-source effects, and delivers magnifications that remain differentiable for all model parameters. Be…

Magnetic Dip Found in a Quiescent Prominence Foot via Observation and Simulation
Solar prominences (or filaments) are cooler and denser plasma suspended in the much hotter and rarefied solar corona. When viewed on the solar disc filament barbs or feet protrude laterally from filament spine. When observed at the limb of the Sun, they reach into the chromosphere or even further down. For a long time, the magnetic field orientation of barbs has remained a mystery due to the paradox that the barbs possess vertical fine structures and flows but are likely to be supported in a ho…
