Measuring Human Skill.
Advancing Research.

AMMACHI Labs is proud to share a research milestone as Gayathri Anand Manikutty presented work on wearable-sensor calibration and wrist-coupling measurement at the IEEE Body Sensor Networks (BSN) 2026 conference in Porto, Portugal.

The research contributes to efforts to understand and measure human skills using sensor-based technologies. By examining the calibration of wearable devices against an optical reference system, the work addresses an important step towards reliable movement measurement and skill assessment.

Research Presented at IEEE BSN 2026

The study, titled “Functional-Axis Calibration of Rokoko Smartgloves for Wrist Coupling Measurement: A Benchmark Against Optical Reference System,” examines functional-axis calibration of Rokoko Smartgloves for wrist-coupling measurement, benchmarking the measurements against an optical reference system.

Reliable measurement is essential when wearable sensors are used to study movement and human performance. Comparing wearable-device measurements with an optical reference provides a way to assess measurement behaviour and support dependable sensor-based research.

Advancing Skill Intelligence

The research aligns with AMMACHI Labs' broader Skill Intelligence initiative, which explores ways to understand, measure and support the development of human skills through technology and data-driven approaches.

Wearable sensing and movement analysis can contribute to a more detailed understanding of physical tasks and performance. Research into measurement reliability is an important part of developing practical, evidence-informed approaches to skill assessment.

Participation in IEEE Women in Engineering

In addition to presenting the research, Gayathri Anand Manikutty served as a panelist at IEEE Women in Engineering. This participation provided an opportunity to contribute to conversations around women in engineering and technology, research experiences, and professional participation in technical fields.

Representation in technical forums and professional discussions helps bring a wider range of perspectives to engineering and research. AMMACHI Labs values opportunities to share knowledge, exchange ideas and encourage participation in science and technology.
