\nHardware-Accelerated EMG-Based Transformer Model for Hand Pose Tracking
\nThis project develops a hardware-accelerated system that tracks continuous hand motion from bio-signals generated during muscle activity. It leverages a lightweight and quantized Transformer model which is pre-trained on non-invasive surface EMG (Electromyography) data to learn human kinematics. The model is deployed onto a low-cost Xilinx Zedboard FPGA to tap its inherent parallelism and achieve ultra-low latency required for real-time interaction via high-speed processing, while the output kinematics are streamed to Unity for 3D visualization.<\/p>\n
The purpose of the project is to deliver a scalable edge-AI framework for advanced prosthetics using hardware-software co-design, bridging the gap between simulated biomechanics and real-world hardware deployment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
