Repository Summary

Description This repository is a new wearable biosensors package for ROS2-Foxy. The ultimate goal of this repo is to expand the biosensors ecosystem in the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) field. The package currently supports six wearable biosensors that can be used in HRI researches without behavioral constraints caused by limited hardware specifications (e.…

Empatica E4 Wristband Node

The Empatica E4 is a wristband with an array of biosensors for physiological monitoring: Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Blood Volume Pulse (BVP), Inter-Beat-Interval (IBI), Heart Rate (HR), and Skin Temperature (ST), and behavioral monitoring: 3-axis accelerometer [14]. However, there are a limitation to directly read biosensor data on the Linux environment since the Empatica does not officially provides SDKs and libraries for Linux operating system. Thus, an additional Window machine and Bluetooth dongle (e.g., Bluegiga Bluetooth Smart Dongle) are required in the current version of the biosensor package in order to stream biosensor data using LSL as mentioned on the Empatica E4 website [15]. The main Linux machine having the ROS 2 system converts the LSL data into ROS 2 topics in real-time.

Requirments

1) Additional window machine to stream data via E4 stremaing server. 2) Install a python library: ```$ pip install open-e4-client
