This work presents the development of a robotic wheelchair that can be commanded by users in supervised way or fully automatic unsupervised navigation system. It provides flexibility to choose different modalities command wheelchair, addition suitable for people with levels disabilities. Users based on their eye blinks, movements, head sip-and-puff and through brain signals. The also operate like an auto-guided vehicle, following metallic tapes, autonomous way. system is provided easy use...
The emotion recognition systems have become important for the diversity of its applications. Several methodologies been proposed based on how emotions are reflected in biological systems, such as facial expressions, activity nervous system or prosody voice. detection by voice processing is an approach that involves a noninvasive procedure produces results with acceptable rate detection. In this work algorithm features extraction was developed, efficiently classify different emotional states....
This paper presents two vision-based interfaces for disabled people to command a mobile robot personal assistance. The developed can be subdivided according the algorithm of image processing implemented detection and tracking different body regions. first interface detects tracks movements user's head, these are transformed into linear angular velocities in order robot. second hand, similarly transformed. In addition, this also control laws experimental results demonstrate good performance...
This work presents a multi-modal interface that can be used for communication of people with disabilities. The is installed onboard robotic wheelchair, and provides flexibility to choose different modalities by levels Users use the through eye blinks, movements, head blowing or sucking straw, brain signals. easy has flexible graphical user running on personal digital assistant tablet. Several experiments were carried out healthy disabilities, results validate developed as an assistive tool...
This paper presents an interface that uses two different sensing techniques and combines both results through a fusion process to obtain the minimum‐variance estimator of orientation user’s head. Sensing are based on inertial sensor artificial vision. The head is used steer navigation robotic wheelchair. Also, control algorithm for assistive technology system presented. evaluated by four individuals with severe motors disability quantitative index was developed, in order objectively evaluate...
Advances in medicine have led to a significant increase human life expectancy and, therefore, growing number of disabled elderly people who need chronic care and assistance [1]. The World Health Organization reports that the world's population over 60 years old will double between 2000 2050 quadruple for seniors older than 80 years, reaching 400 million [2]. In addition, strokes, traffic-related other accidents, seemingly endless wars acts terrorism contribute an increasing younger people.
SUMMARY In this work, a vision-based control interface for commanding robotic wheelchair is presented. The estimates the orientation angles of user's head and it translates these parameters in command maneuvers different devices. performance proposed evaluated both static experiments as well when applied wheelchair. calculates reference inputs to Control architecture based on dynamic model implemented order achieve safety navigation. Experimental results navigation are
Background . The rehabilitation process is a fundamental stage for recovery of people’s capabilities. However, the evaluation performed by physiatrists and medical doctors, mostly based on their observations, that is, subjective appreciation patient’s evolution. This paper proposes tracking platform movement made an individual’s upper limb using Kinect sensor(s) to be applied patient during process. main contribution development quantifying software statistical validation its performance,...
A 12-yr-old child, with a history of gestational Erb-Duchenne palsy and, later, musculoskeletal injuries in the left arm caused by car accident, inspired design customized exoskeleton-like device. Such piece, intended for rehabilitation, has one degree freedom because exercise routine involves elbow flexion-extension, which was indicated damaged muscular group. The device two functioning modes, passive and assisted, patient can trigger movement biceps contraction, thus promoting active role...

The conventional educational environment imposes barriers to education for people with disabilities, limiting their rights, which is a non-discriminative education. In turn, hampers access other rights and creates huge obstacles realize potential participate effectively in communities. this sense Assistive Technology provides alternative solutions, order compensate lost or diminished ability. Thus the necessary assistance provided perform tasks, including those related education, improving...
