Non-invasive eye-tracking control of neuromuscular stimulation system
12151101 · 2024-11-26 · ·

A non-invasive control system for neuromuscular stimulation includes an eye-tracking device, an electrical stimulation device, and software that interprets the eye movements of the user to determine an intended movement and sends electrical signal(s) to the stimulation device to achieve the intended movement. For example, the stimulation device may be a sleeve with electrodes worn on a paralyzed limb, with the intended movement being the movement of the limb.

Dynamic Multi-Sensor and Multi-Robot Interface System
20170136621 · 2017-05-18 · ·

An adaptive learning interface system for end-users for controlling one or more machines or robots to perform a given task, combining identification of gaze patterns, EEG channel's signal patterns, voice commands and/or touch commands. The output streams of these sensors are analysed by the processing unit in order to detect one or more patterns that are translated into one or more commands to the robot, to the processing unit or to other devices. A pattern learning mechanism is implemented by keeping immediate history of outputs collected from those sensors, analysing their individual behaviour and analysing time correlation between patterns recognized from each of the sensors. Prediction of patterns or combination of patterns is enabled by analysing partial history of sensors' outputs. A method for defining a common coordinate system between robots and sensors in a given environment, and therefore dynamically calibrating these sensors and devices, is used to share characteristics and positions of each object detected on the scene.

Microsurgery system for displaying in real-time magnified digital image sequences of an operated area
12465193 · 2025-11-11 · ·

A microsurgery system includes a robotic arm, configured for movement; a head mounted display (HMD) configured to display to a user in real-time image sequences of an operated area; a camera coupled to the robotic arm, the camera configured to acquire operated-area image sequences of the operated area and being suspended above the operated area and being mechanically and optically disconnected from the HMD. The robotic arm enables the camera to capture the operated-area image sequences from a range of perspectives. A processing device is coupled with the HMD and the camera, and transmits the image sequences of the operated-area to the HMD. A tracker tracks at least one of a head of the user, a hand of the user, and a tool held by the use. The robotic arm is guidable according to movements tracked of the head, the hand, and/or the tool.
