Our next OSL Community Meeting will be on July 20 from 3–4 PM (Eastern Time). We’ll also have a guest speaker joining us, more details coming soon as we get closer to the date.

You can save the event to your calendar using the link below: Calendar Invite

We’re also opening up the agenda for community presentations on August 17. If you’re working on something related to the Open‑Source Leg and would like to share your progress, feel free to reach out in the OSL Forum to present.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on July 20.

Hi Kiara!

Maxim from KU Leuven (Belgium). We’ve built 2 enablers, with colleagues at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, to help advance sensing and edge AI research in assistive devices, which now power our in-house lower-limb exos and prostheses:

  1. A framework for multimodal multi-device (distributed) realtime sensing that yields high quality raw synchronized datasets;
  2. A robust baseline liaison between assistive hardware and state-of-the-art multimodal AI models;

The 2 biggest values of these frameworks are (1) streamlining long experiments of large numbers of commercial and bring-your-own sensors, producing multi-hour synchronized datasets; and (2) skipping the systems integration barriers in embedding realtime state-of-the-art multimodal AI models from mainstream PyTorch AI workflows, using our high-performance baseline (works on commodity Pi and Jetson compute devices).

We aim to bridge these 2 works with OSL in the near future, so that the OSL community can collect synchronized prosthesis, wearable, and external data; and to embed novel high- and mid-level AI controllers and HILO algorithms into the live operating device as part of a closed-loop system.

Let us know if this would be an interesting topic for August 17th!

Hi Maxim!

Thank you so much for being willing to be our next guest speaker! This work sounds super exciting, and we’d love to have you present at the OSL meeting on August 17th. I’ll reach out with more details about the meeting and the information we’ll need to get everything set up.

We’re looking forward to learning more about your work and its integration with the OSL! :slight_smile:
