Riemannian Geometry for the Classification of Brain States with Intracortical Brain Recordings
Geometric machine learning is applied to decode brain states from invasive intracortical neural recordings, extending Riemannian methods to the invasive regime where data is scarcer and less stationary. A Minimum Distance to Mean classifier on covariance manifolds uses geodesic distances to outperform convolutional neural networks while reducing ...

Semi‐autonomous Navigation of Magnetic Microcarriers for Knee Cartilage Regeneration
Autonomous navigation of magnetic microcarriers in complex 3D environments is investigated through a semi‐autonomous strategy integrating magnetic actuation with monocular visual feedback. Real‐time global tracking is achieved via radio‐frequency‐based localization and depth estimation, while model‐based computation determines optimal steering forces ...
