This paper presents a system that automatically identifies criminal offences from Montenegrin court decisions. Factual attributes are extracted using LLMs and mapped to an OWL ontology with SWRL rules to infer applicable legal provisions and sanctions. Evaluation conducted on a dataset of court decisions demonstrates consistently high levels of accuracy and recall, confirming the feasibility of integrating LLM-based factual extraction with ontology-driven legal reasoning.

Dexterous control of upper limb prostheses with multiarticulated wrists/hands is still a challenge due to the limitations of myoelectric man-machine interfaces. Multiple factors limit the overall performance and usability of these interfaces, such as the need to control degrees of freedom sequentially and not concurrently, and the inaccuracies in decoding the user intent from weak or fatigued muscles. In this article, we developed a novel man-machine interface that endows a myoelectric prosthesis (MYO) with artificial perception, estimation of user intention, and intelligent control (MYO-PACE) to continuously support the user with automation while preparing the prosthesis for grasping. We compared the MYO-PACE against state-of-the-art myoelectric control (pattern recognition) in laboratory and clinical tests. For this purpose, eight able-bodied and two amputee individuals performed a standard clinical test consisting of a series of manipulation tasks (portion of the SHAP test), as well as a more complex sequence of transfer tasks in a cluttered scene. In all tests, the subjects not only completed the trials faster using the MYO-PACE but also achieved more efficient myoelectric control. These results demonstrate that the implementation of advanced perception, context interpretation, and autonomous decision-making into active prostheses improves control dexterity. Moreover, it also effectively supports the user by speeding up the preshaping phase of the movement and decreasing muscle use.

Tactile feedback is pivotal for grasping and manipulation in humans. Providing functionally effective sensory feedback to prostheses users is an open challenge. Past paradigms were mostly based on vibro- or electrotactile stimulations. However, the tactile sensitivity on the targeted body parts (usually the forearm) is greatly less than that of the hand/fingertips, restricting the amount of information that can be provided through this channel. Visual feedback is the most investigated technique in motor learning studies, where it showed positive effects in learning both simple and complex tasks; however, it was not exploited in prosthetics due to technological limitations. Here, we investigated if visual information provided in the form of augmented reality (AR) feedback can be integrated by able-bodied participants in their sensorimotor control of a pick-and-lift task while controlling a robotic hand. For this purpose, we provided visual continuous feedback related to grip force and hand closure to the participants. Each variable was mapped to the length of one of the two ellipse axes visualized on the screen of wearable single-eye display AR glasses. We observed changes in behavior when subtle (i.e., not announced to the participants) manipulation of the AR feedback was introduced, which indicated that the participants integrated the artificial feedback within the sensorimotor control of the task. These results demonstrate that it is possible to deliver effective information through AR feedback in a compact and wearable fashion. This feedback modality may be exploited for delivering sensory feedback to amputees in a clinical scenario.
