We are pleased to announce two contributions at this year’s International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society in Copenhagen. Congratulations to the authors!
Contribution 1: A Plug-and-Play Inertial Motion Tracking Method for Magnetometer-free Orientation Estimation of Arbitrary Joints.
Timo Kuhlgatz, Simon Bachhuber, Thomas Seel, and Daniel O. M. Weber.
This work presents an RNN-based model for inertial motion tracking (IMT) of kinematic chains that operates without prior knowledge of joint axes or degrees of freedom, and is applicable to all rotational joints. It was trained exclusively on simulated data and is capable of zero-shot prediction of the relative orientation of IMUs on real joints.
Contribution 2: Camera-based In-Process Evaluation and Parameter Study of Core-Shell-Capsule Dimensions.
Leon Budde, Scharon Kraudelt, Julia Dreger, Dominik Egger, and Thomas Seel.
This study introduces a novel camera-based approach for monitoring the manufacturing process of core-shell capsules (CSCs) in tissue engineering. By analyzing droplet diameters during free fall, the influence of flow rate and cannula size on the final core size of CSCs was investigated. The method enables more efficient and potentially automated real-time process adjustment.
We thank the entire team and our collaboration partner from the Institute of Cell and Biophysics (Contribution 2) for their dedicated work. The collaboration and hard work have played a crucial role in this success.
