In this paper, we proposed a vision control system for a service robot which can provide navigation and assistance for daily activities. Compared with other sensors, vision sensor is cheap and practical, and can also perceive most of the information in the surrounding environment. Considering the variability of indoor objects, we choose an upward camera as the only sensor to extract objects and straight...
Human hand is very dexterous and has complicated functions. For amputees, it is significant to propose a myoelectric prosthetic hand which can recognize and accomplish various hand motions with reliable system. Therefore, this paper puts forward a mechanical hand with main joints individually powered by interference driven method. Driving program is redacted in Single-chip microcomputer (SCM), which...
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems can translate the human mind into control commands, which makes it feasible to improve the life quality of physically challenged people. However, in real-life situations, it is still difficult for users to utilize robots to provide basic services with BCI systems. We aimed to propose a BCI-based system with a visual servo module to operate a service robot. We...
This paper intends to design a system which acquires the trainer's motion and force information in order to manipulate a robot arm applied for rehabilitations. Patients who suffering physical disability also can receive the professorial guiding and cheirapsis even excellent trainers are very busy and insufficient. The key point of this article is data acquisition and reconstruction of the movement...
In this paper, we proposed a hierarchical multiple intelligences architecture consisting of three intelligences: biology intelligence, space intelligence and robot intelligence. This new intelligence architecture aims to address defects of existing intelligence architecture for controlling mobile robots. The performers of the three intelligences are human, intelligent space and robot, respectively...
Human hand is crucial to the activity of daily living. To improve amputees' quality of life (QOL), it is imperative to propose a new method for the prosthesis hand to recognize hand motions. According to previous researches, multi-sensor can obtain more information with limited sensors for improving the classification accuracy rate. Therefore, this paper proposed a hierarchical hand motions recognition...
An experiment was designed to record the motion information of all the joints of the lower limbs in this paper. The law of angular change of joints was studied with the fitting function curve and then verified by a musculoskeletal simulation tool OpenSim. The number of sensors for data measurements is reduced using the law and the cost for sensors is reduced correspondingly. A kinetic model of the...
