Identifying a brain signal that enables the detection of incorrect execution in human-robot interaction (HRI) is considered a holy grail for real-time systems. A major challenge in achieving this is the inherent imbalance caused by the sparsity of error-related potential (ErrP) events in streaming e
Traditional assessments for dysarthria are subjective and time-consuming, highlighting the need for automated, objective approaches that can be scaled for remote and resource-constrained environments. This paper introduces an adversarial domain adaptation framework tailored for dysarthria severity a…
Upper limb paralysis affects the quality of life. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) offers a solution to restore lost motor functions. Yet, there remain challenges in controlling FES to induce arbitrary arm movements. Reinforcement learning (RL) emerges as a promising method for controlling ar…
Distributional Reinforcement Learning (RL) maintains the entire probability distribution of the reward-to-go, i.e. the return, providing more learning signals that account for the uncertainty associated with policy performance, which may be beneficial for trading off exploration and exploitation and…
The intuitive collaboration of humans and intelligent robots (embodied AI) in the real-world is an essential objective for many desirable applications of robotics. Whilst there is much research regarding explicit communication, we focus on how humans and robots interact implicitly, on motor adaptati…
Robotic systems are ever more capable of automation and fulfilment of complex tasks, particularly with reliance on recent advances in intelligent systems, deep learning and artificial intelligence in general. However, as robots and humans come closer together in their interactions, the matter of int…
Assistive robotic systems endeavour to support those with movement disabilities, enabling them to move again and regain functionality. Main issue with these systems is the complexity of their low-level control, and how to translate this to simpler, higher level commands that are easy and intuitive f…
Eye movements are closely related to motor actions, and hence can be used to infer motor intentions. Additionally, eye movements are in some cases the only means of communication and interaction with the environment for paralysed and impaired patients with severe motor deficiencies. Despite this, ey
