In this proposal the Moodle platform was optimized based on the theory of communities of practice, with the development and integration of technologies to serve a bilingual public (portuguese / libras), generating MooBi — Bilingual Moodle. Tests to verify accessibility requirements have made it possible to detect nonconformities and to generate specifications and suggestions for a bilingual virtual...
This article presents the design and construction of the torso of a humanoid robot with 22 degrees of freedom (22 GDL) built by additive manufacturing, with the combination of an interactive graphical interface, especially designed for children to self-learn the language in basic sign Ecuador (ESL) through imitation. The interface is designed according to user requirements, should be easy and interactive,...
The deaf have the right to live a fair life and do their tasks without any difficulty exactly like everyone else. There are 360 million people (328 million adults and 32 million children) worldwide who have disabling hearing loss (Over 5% of the world's population) (WHO, 2015). Disabling hearing loss refers to hearing loss greater than 40 decibels (dB) in the better hearing ear in adults and a hearing...
An assistive tool (InterpreterGlove) for hearing- and speech impaired people is created, enabling them to easily communicate with the non-disabled using hand gestures and sign language. An integrated hardware and software solution is built to improve their standard of living, consisting of sensor network based motion-capture gloves, a low-level signal processing unit and a mobile application for high-level...
With the spread of information technologies and communication, the creation and use of intelligent systems have contributed to the social and digital inclusion and promoting citizenship of people.

There is an on-going study which aims to assist in teaching Sign Language to hearing impaired children by means of non-verbal communication and imitation based interaction games between a humanoid robot and the child. In this study, the robot will be able to express a word in Sign Language among a set of chosen words using hand movements, body and face gestures and having comprehended the word, the...
The hearing impaired community has traditionally found itself marginalized from the mainstream of the society. While, this can partly be attributed to the inability of the hearing impaired persons to fluently communicate orally, it is also true that traditional education has not been able to reach out to them by addressing their special needs and requirements. In this paper, we report on the development...
