BIOROBOTICS : BRINGING BIOLOGY AND ROBOTICS TOGETHER...
*Making robots that emulate and stimulate living
*biological organisms mechanically or even chemically.
*Application of biological ideas to address technological problems.
*Application of robotics to solve problems regarding biology and medicine.
INTRODUCTION
Disease Detector (DDX), portable equipment with detection of response time and psychophysical conditions in normal and exceptional environments.
a simple joystick with a few buttons, an LCD display and a simple
interface for remote communication of diagnosis.
The external effects require
1) the response to sounds,
2) a soft touch of a button.
3) by pronouncing a word,
4) the touch of the finger in front of a virtual reality drawing of the finger itself.
•Fuzzy Logic is exploited in order to obtain an intelligent and reliable detector.
Three basic parameters (reaction, speed and force) are required
BIOROBOTICS & RESEARCH
Many new and innovative inventions like robotic hand, a voice-controlled robot has been designed.
In 1985, bio-engineers have developed a bianic prosthesis with electronic
control incorporated in an artificial limb.
Recently, a dummy for cardiac simulation purposes, and data acquisition
systems involving neuromotor control has been developed. Eccles designed the pattern for recognition of the behavior of the brain control circuits.Analogue concepts developed by Searle and Richards represent
fundamental steps to recognize how much the robotic systems are helping in
the simulation of brain activity.
Some of the scientific developments linked to biology and Biorobotics: activation of neuron circuits, recovery of damaged neuromotor functions, etc.
BIOROBOTIC ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT
• A digital display LCD (twelve characters in two columns), • 4 keys for managing a menu navigator similar to that of a mobile phone menu,
• An OK key to confirm,
• A Menu key in order to return to the main menu.
• A Buzzer for the acoustic beep.
• A Load cell by strain gauges with its amplifier.
By pressing the button 3 beacons are sent
*Start pressure beacon
*Race-end beacon
*Force beacon
APPLICATIONS
•Experimental tests done on subject affected from Parkinson's.
• Experimental tests done on subjects belonging to the
sport field.
• Tests in the professional field: Ferrari Race.
ADVANTAGES
• This device is very small and portable device.
• User-friendly machine.
It is like a mobile phone, with more efficient diagnostic results.
• The ability to hold the joystick with a single hand is the fundamental aspect of this system.
• A person's state of health may be tested daily.
• It also provides the ability of transferring diagnosis through a remote communication interface in order to monitor daily the state of health of a patient.
•The system is an intelligent-machine based on soft computing techniques.
* Its efficiency can be improved considering more example for membership function calibration or, moreover, improving the response correctness by using a self learning technique.
DISADVANTAGE
•The DDX control system consists of a small board with an internal fuzzy logic. It is clear that the main disadvantage of such circuit switched networks is that they are not able to adequately cope with highly variable traffic.
CONCLUSION
*Daphne device allows to obtain a quantitative and exact measure of the neuromotor health condition of a person and of it reflects very well the psychological condition.
*The system is an intelligent biorobotic system based on soft computing techniques and, as such, its efficiency maybe improved via extended function calibration or by improving response correctness with self-learning techniques.
