The Wearable Technologies Laboratory was founded by Dr Daniel Roggen in January 2014 within the Sensor Technology Research Centre, carrying on several of the research activities that he initiated while previously at ETH Zurich.
Our research activities lie in computational behaviour analytics in wearable, mobile and ubiquitous computing: the use of machine learning techniques, miniature sensors, and online data sources to recognize and understand human behaviours, activities, and context, including social interactions and cognitive-affective states. We emphasize novel sensing modalities and embedding this intelligence in miniature devices. Our long term vision are systems that follow a lifelong adaptive paradigm for use in open-ended scenarios.
The Wearable Technologies Lab investigates:
- Novel wearable technologies including sensors and actuators.
- Hardware and software co-design of algorithms and computing hardware.
- Activity and context recognition algorithms.
- Novel interaction paradigms with wearable and mobile devices.
- Applications in various domains: sports, healthcare, industrial, etc.
