SUMMARY:Dr Ramana Vinjamuri to expose the fascinating tale of "Synergy Based Human Machine Interfaces"
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with IEEE-SRM Student Branch\, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering\, SRM University-AP\, Andhra Pradesh\, is organising a highly called for discussion on “Synergy Based Human Machine Interfaces”. The event has been scheduled for May 8\, 2021\, at 10:30 am. Dr Ramana Kumar Vinjamuri\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and Director of Sensorimotor Control Laboratory (Vinjamuri Lab)\, University of Maryland Baltimore County\, Baltimore\, MD\, USA\, will honour us with his presence as the keynote speaker. \nHuman-machine interface (HMI) has not only become a popular technology but has become the hope of many individuals for restoring their lost limb function. Any HMI has two important intrinsic design components—(i) decode the human commands and (ii) controlling the machine to convert that command into action. Decades of research went into making the interface between the human and the machine seamless but was unable to effectively address the inherent challenges\, namely\, complexity\, adaptability and variability. \nTo overcome the above challenges\, it is critical to computationally understand and quantitatively characterise human sensorimotor control. Emerging areas in HMIs critically depend on the ability to build bioinspired models\, experimentally validate them and utilise them in adaptive and intuitive control. The human hand with high dimensionality encompasses the three inherent challenges and may serve as an ideal validation paradigm. How central nervous system (CNS) controls this high dimensional human hand effortlessly is still an unsolved mystery. \nTo address this high dimensional control problem\, many bioinspired motor control models have been proposed\, one of which is based on synergies. According to this model\, instead of controlling individual motor units\, CNS simplifies the control using coordinated control of groups of motor units called synergies. However\, there are several unanswered questions today— Where are synergies present in CNS? What is their role in motor control and motor learning? By combining the concepts of human motor control\, computational neuroscience\, machine learning and validation with noninvasive human experiments\, can we answer these fundamental questions? The goal of this research is to develop efficient\, seamless and near-natural human-machine interfaces based on biomimetically inspired models. \nDr Ramana Vinjamuri received his PhD in Electrical Engineering in 2008\, specialised in dimensionality reduction in control and coordination of human hand from the University of Pittsburgh. He worked as a postdoctoral research associate (2008-2012) in the field of Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) to control prosthesis in the School of Medicine\, the University of Pittsburgh\, where he received Mary E Switzer Merit Fellowship from NIDILRR in 2010. Prior to that\, he worked as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University (2012-2013) in the area of neuroprosthetics. He also served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology (2013-2020). In 2018\, he received Harvey N Davis Distinguished Teaching Award for excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching. He earned the NSF CAREER Award in 2019 and NSF IUCRC Center Planning grant in 2020. His other notable research awards are from USISTEF and New Jersey Health Foundation. He holds a secondary appointment as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology\, Hyderabad\, India. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

SUMMARY:IIRS-ISRO offers "Online Certificate Course on Space Technology and Applications"
DESCRIPTION:Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) -Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO) is offering a five-day “Online Certificate Course on Space Technology and Applications” from May 31 to June 04\, 2021. The course will be highly beneficial for the school teachers\, who teach science\, mathematics and geography. The Registration process is going on for the course. With a limited number of available seats\, participants are encouraged to secure their enrolment as early as possible. The course intends to create awareness and capacity building of school teachers on the use of space technology and its application. \nIIRS outreach programme is an innovative distance learning initiative for training the students and professionals from academic Institutions and user departments in the field of geospatial technology & Earth Observation (EO) by utilising state-of-art Information and communication technologies. SRM University AP-Andhra Pradesh has collaborated with the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) -Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) ‘s outreach programmes. As part of the association\, SRM University-AP being the nodal centre for such programmes\, the people of SRM University-AP have the excellent opportunity to register for courses as well as live and interactive programmes being organised by IIRS. In addition\, E-learning courses for a short span of 3-4 Month duration will be accessible by the students. \nCourse Brochure: Know more about the course \nCourse Schedule: View the detailed course schedule \nPlatform where course is held: https://eclass.iirs.gov.in/login
