To assist stroke survivors in recovering hand functions, a hand rehabilitation system consisting of a vision-based hand posture intention detection algorithm and a soft robotic glove is proposed     Individuals suffering from stroke experience a rapid loss of brain function due to poor blood flow to the brain. This can result in diminished motor skills, coordination, and precision in various limbs. In ...

The KAIST Data Intelligence Lab developed a new data-centric machine learning framework called RC-Mixup to train models so that they are robust against noisy and insufficient data on regression tasks.   Ph.D. students Seong-Hyeon Hwang and Minsu Kim from the KAIST Data Intelligence Lab, led by Prof. Steven Euijong Whang, have developed a new data-centric machine learning framework with which to train model...

An efficient microbial process to produce benzyl acetate, a jasmine-scented compound, from glucose was developed by systems metabolic engineering and a delayed co-culture strategy.   Benzyl acetate, a compound known for its sweet aroma reminiscent of jasmine, is extensively used in the manufacture of cosmetics, food, and beverages. Traditionally, this compound is either extracted from flowers or chemical...

Our research team has developed a novel electrode material with maximized catalytic activity, presenting a strategy to enhance power conversion and green hydrogen production efficiency in next-generation ceramic electrochemical cells, thereby advancing the global net-zero society.     Adhering to the global commitment to 'net-zero' greenhouse gas emissions requires a reduction of carbon emissions throu...

A next-generation nanocomposite sensor system that simplifies conventional structural health monitoring systems has been developed. This system can monitor omnidirectional strain and temperature in real time with a single nanocomposite sensor, a task that requires at least four commercial sensors.       Structural health monitoring systems refer to a technology that collects and analyzes physical...

This study identifies how new town developments may be related to carbon sink losses in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, also recommending policies to address and enhance the nation's carbon neutrality strategies.     South Korea is among the host of nations abiding by the Paris Agreement’s ambitious 2050 deadline for carbon neutrality. Carbon sinks—ecosystems which store and sequester the ele...
