Robotic devices can be a viable solution in different rehabilitation activities for increasing patients' gains, providing high-frequent, repetitive and interactive rehabilitation treatments. In this paper, the design, development and preliminary characterization of a robotic system for assisted hand rehabilitation, driven by surface EMG measurements, based on the mirroring of healthy hand movements...
This paper presents a follow up look at a one semester, junior-level design course in electrical engineering at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. A summary of the class's objectives, content, system of systems-based projects and use in assessment are presented for the past three years. The course has evolved from that reported previously where it was centered on mobile robots, sensing...
Quadrocopter is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform. The position of the robot is determined based on readings from an accelerometer and a gyroscope, but the measurement signals contain broadband noise. This article describes a solution for filtering out the noise based on an Alpha - beta filter. It also presents the methodology of designing and implementing such a filter for noise cancellation...
A popular way for using radio-frequency (RF) signals (e.g. WiFi) to position people or device indoors is by matching received radio signal strength (RSS) to fingerprints that are spatial signatures of such measures. Traditionally such signal maps are built by manual collection of repeated measurements at predefined locations following a spatial sampling scheme. Recently, such labor intensive processes...
The Emotiv™ electroencephalogram (EEG) headset is a non-invasive brain-computer interface with 14 EEG channels that was used to record neural responses to stimuli in 5 male and 5 female participants. The stimuli included instructions (presented in both visual or auditory format successively) of ‘right’ or ‘left.’ Participants raised their right or left arm in response to the instruction given. The...
There are many types of bio-signals with various control application prospects. In this work possible control application domain of electroencephalographic signal obtained from an easily available, inexpensive EEG headset - Emotiv EPOC was presented. This work also involved application of an embedded system platform. That solution caused limits in choosing an appropriate signal processing method,...
Robot-aided neuro-rehabilitation is increasingly being incorporated into rehabilitation practices. The aim of this study was to search for patterns in the data acquired by a robot in the baseline evaluation session which could predict progress over the next therapy sessions. Kinematic and kinetic data were acquired during robot-mediated evaluation sessions of 12 children with motor impairments due...
Vanilla is the second most expensive spice worldwide. The high cost of vanilla has led to the problem of dangerous adulterated substitutes. Its high cost is attributed largely to the labor intensive hand pollination required where the melipona bee is not present. This article proposes a method of segmenting vanilla images intended for robotic control of a future automated pollination system. We present...
Vanilla is the second most expensive spice worldwide. The high cost of vanilla has led to the problem of dangerous adulterated substitutes. Its high cost is attributed largely to the labor intensive hand pollination required where the melipona bee is not present. This article is the first known to present a machine vision system for the recognition of vanilla flowers and their stamen for pollination...
