HUMAN INTERFACE MULTI-POINTING WIRELESS DEVICE Abstract: This paper describes a wireless mouse that can be controlled by a user’s arm movement alone .The main purpose of this mouse is to control various computer systems by a single user. It focuses on the invention of the arm controlled mouse that employs one tilt sensor placed on the hand. The primary goals of the system are to have a comfortable and easily wearable device without interfering with other everyday activities while tracking particular movements of hand that could be used to control a wearable mouse or other wearable devices. The system uses accelerometer based tilt sensor to detect the user’s hand tilt in order to direct the mouse movement through a sensor. Clicks of the mouse
[20] who reported that each position (side lying, prone or sitting) affect the static position of the vestibular system differently and may differently affect the muscle tone and hence affect the power and range of motion. Before treatment there was significant affection in motor function of the upper extremity performance in the three groups. This comes in agreement with Sutcliffe et al. [21] who reported that impaired hand function is a major debilitating factor for the performance of activities of daily living in hemiplegic CP. The impairment of the hand is often the result of damage to the motor cortex and cortico spinal pathways responsible for the fine motor control of the hand and fingers.
Say, you are using a wheelchair. It will be better if you modify the height of your kitchen counter so that you don't overreach. Also, make all kitchen tools and appliances close by or place them on the lower shelves for easier accessibility. Use the right type of mobility aid Aside from modifying your home, you also have to use the right type of mobility aid according to your needs. Mobility aids come in a variety of forms but they are all designed to provide you greater stability and balance and assist you to go from one place to another independently.
This was also highlighted during Archie’s guest lecture on Variety Village. He stated that the many of the individuals with disabilities who attend Variety Village have attempted to participate in physical activity at a different facility that is closer to their homes. However, the majority of them always come back to Variety Village as the staff that they encounter at different facilities are not trained to prescribe physical activity to individuals with disabilities. By knowing and understanding the mechanisms behind each disability, it will assist in the prescription or development of physical activity programs to individuals with
in images or videos. The task of object detection can be defined as: Given an input image, determine if there are objects of a given class (e.g. People, cars.) in the image and where they are located [3]. As an example, it might be easy to train a domestic helper robot to recognize the presence of coffee machine with nothing else in the image.
Being so heavily dependent on robots can have massive impacts on our societal relationship. According to Turkle, people are becoming too connected with their devices, such as telephones or emails, which limited us to connect with our families and friends. This will lead people on the merge of being isolated (“Connected, but alone?”). Therefore, receiving a conservation with real people is better than holding it with robots. It is more beneficial to pay attention to what we care for, rather than fostering what we enjoy, which human beings naturally are (Turkle 328).
Then, Riba, the carrying robot is introduced by RIKEN, a national research institute in Japan. Riba functions by carrying a patient when nurses control them by using touch-sensors on it. Riba’s arm has six joints, each driven by six motors which operate in pairs to enable combined bending and twisting motions. Caretakers can safely move a person up to 80kg with the assist of Riba. It identifies target’s face by using visual data from stereo cameras and localize the position of a speaker’s voice with built-in
The owner will most likely be in a wheelchair. The dog may wear a harness to assist in a risky task” (Froiling 2). Moreover, some other tricks of service dogs that I found really interesting are when they use a device to call for help in advance. “The dog can be sent to press the three inch wide white button that dials a preprogrammed number, to dial 911, or another pre-set number on the K-9 Rescue Phone before the owner steps foot in the
This is important because it can tell the doctors and nurses what the patient needs in order to survive or the medications the patient needs to become healthy and back to normal. The artificial intelligence can also be a great aid when it comes to surgery due to it being able to process many ways to approach the surgery itself and can probably lead to even more successful surgeries in the future. This is important due to the reason that doctors do make mistakes in the surgery room and if a robot with the correct programming can tell that doctor where he or she should focus on and make the surgery easier and faster for the doctor to complete. Additionally, just having the small assistance in the surgery room can help a lot in a dramatic way due to the artificial intelligence being able to diagnose what is going on at that moment during the surgery. Furthermore if the artificial intelligence becomes more intelligent with the correct programming, it can be placed in robots that can perform the surgeries on patients and this will change the outlook of how robots can be used in
At the same time the Speech commands are processed using SAPI interface. Extracted commands through SAPI are compared with the commands saved in database and according to it the actions are performed using process builder. We are using Robot API to perform various keystrokes to the computer
