Autonomous driving systems often infer pedestrian yielding behavior from geometric and kinematic cues alone, limiting their ability to reason about visual scene context and age-dependent behavioral va…
Wrist function is essential in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). However, there is limited experimental evidence on the functional impact of wrist Abduction-Adduction (Ab-Ad) joint assista…
Accurate automatic brain tumor segmentation in Low and Middle-Income (LMIC) countries is challenging due to the lack of defined national imaging protocols, diverse imaging data, extensive use of low-f…
Speech foundation models have shown strong transferability across a wide range of speech applications. However, their robustness to age-related domain shift in speaker diarization remains underexplore…
Physically Assistive Robots (PARs) require personalized behaviors to ensure user safety and comfort. However, traditional preference learning methods, like exhaustive pairwise comparisons, cause sever…
Age-related mobility decline is frequently accompanied by a redistribution of joint kinetics, where older adults compensate for reduced ankle function by increasing demand on the hip. Paradoxically, t…
This Data Descriptor presents a fully open, multi-modal dataset for estimating vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) from consumer-grade Apple Watch sensors with laboratory force plate ground truth. T…
In aging-in-place contexts, small difficulties in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) can accumulate, affecting well-being through fatigue, anxiety, reduced autonomy, and safety risks. This position pape…
There is an increasing interest in social robots assisting older adults during daily life tasks. In this context, non-verbal cues such as deictic gaze are important in natural communication in human-r…
Eating is a daily challenge for over 60 million adults with essential tremors and other mobility limitations. For these users, traditional utensils like forks or spoons are difficult to manipulate -- …
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus that affects pediatric patients with significantly greater severity and worse renal outcomes compared to adults. Despite t…
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by CAG-repeat expansion in HTT, which lengthens the polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in huntingtin (HTT) and promotes misfolding and aggregation. While polyQ-length-depe…
This work presents a wearable human activity recognition (HAR) system that performs real-time inference directly inside a shank-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU) to support low-latency control o…
Transcranial ultrasound imaging is limited by high skull absorption, limiting vascular imaging to only the largest vessels. Traditional clutter filters struggle with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ul…
Squatting is one of the most demanding lower-limb movements, requiring substantial muscular effort and coordination. Reducing the physical demands of this task through intelligent and personalized ass…
Robotic objects are simple actuated systems that subtly blend into human environments. We design and introduce Lantern, a minimalist robotic object platform to enable building simple robotic artifacts…
Accurate transcription and speaker diarization of child-adult spoken interactions are crucial for developmental and clinical research. However, manual annotation is time-consuming and challenging to s…
Falls are the leading cause of injury related hospitalization and mortality among older adults. Consequently, mitigating age-related declines in gait stability and reducing fall risk during walking is…
Obtaining data on high-impact falls from older adults is ethically difficult, yet these rare events cause many fall-related health problems. As a result, most radar-based fall detectors are trained on…
Effective physical human-robot interaction requires systems that are not only adaptable to user preferences but also transparent about their actions. This paper introduces BRIDGE, a system for bidirec…
