Biomechanical Sensing Using Gas Bubbles Oscillations in Liquids and Adjacent Technologies: Theory and Practical Applications

open access: yesBiosensors, 2022
Gas bubbles present in liquids underpin many natural phenomena and human-developed technologies that improve the quality of life. Since all living organisms are predominantly made of water, they may also contain bubbles—introduced both naturally and ...

Reinforcement Learning Control of a Biomechanical Model of the Upper Extremity [PDF]

open access: yesFischer, F., Bachinski, M., Klar, M., Fleig, A., & M\"uller, J. (2021). Reinforcement learning control of a biomechanical model of the upper extremity. Scientific Reports, 11(1), 1-15, 2020
Among the infinite number of possible movements that can be produced, humans are commonly assumed to choose those that optimize criteria such as minimizing movement time, subject to certain movement constraints like signal-dependent and constant motor noise.
