First aid kit has been used to treat minor pain or injuries before one can receive a qualified treatment from the medical doctor. It is found that the contents inside the first aid is only checked periodically and as a result, there is high chance that certain important medicine is not there by the time it is needed. Thus, the development of smart first aid kit that prioritizes on content management via intuitive display and voice instruction is presented in this paper. The developed smart first aid kit offers several unique features. The first is the use of infrared sensor to detect the availability of the first aid content. If the content is taken, the red LED will be lit up, and the user is notified through Blynk apps in smartphone and email by means of NodeMCU. The second feature is that the developed first aid is equipped with the Smart TFT LCD touch screen display and speaker. This smart touch screen can display the list of first aid contents as well as provide a quick button for voice instructions. The voice instruction button will play the recorded guidance and medical instructions in the form of phrases and voices. The programming for the touch screen display, the voice instructions (played by Arduino Mini MP3 module) and speaker are all processed by the Arduino Mega. Simple testing and analysis on sensor detection and notification revealed that both sensor and Blynk app work fine if the medications are placed in the correct position. In conclusion, a smart first aid kit with touch screen medications instructions menu equipped with voice instructions and the ability to alert the end user whenever the content of first aid is taken out has been successfully developed and executed in this study. All sensors and the programming for the touch screen and voice instruction work accordingly. For future work, several improvements are recommended such as better data management that has complete record on date, time, and name of the content that is taken out as well as alerting the user on the expiry date. This can help the person in charge to efficiently monitor the content in the first aid.

The Conclusion looks forward to future cross-disciplinary work on the physical voice. It reflects on why a literary scholar might be interested in the physical voice, recalling that literary texts are full of voices that make reference to the real voice off the page. It also suggests why a Renaissance literary historian might have something distinctive to offer future work on the voice, recalling the inter-relationship in this period between voice and printed books. It recognizes that a new technological revolution is well underway that is changing our relationship with print. It briefly considers how the digital medium uses or ignores voice, and asks whether a new history of oral reading can enable us to imagine different ways of interacting with—and immersing ourselves in—the print/digital books of the future.

This paper describes the method of presuming the angle of moving direction of an electric wheelchair by reading information of RF tags put on a floor using a rotary antenna, which is fixed underneath the wheelchair, revolving constantly above RF tags of the floor at a turning point. Our primary intention is to make a detection system of direction angle using RF tags for a voice controlled electric wheelchair. The voice instruction cannot give smooth nor detailed controls with ease unlike the joystick control. Because the voice control system can use only a few discrete instruction words. Thereby to assist smooth indoor motion, we proposed here a new method of automatic correction of the direction angle measured by the above rotary antenna and RF tags. We demonstrated experimentally to detect and correct the angle of moving direction when the wheelchair passes over the turning point, which was found to give accurate orientations.This paper is the full translation from the transactions of JSME Vol.73, No.729.

Control of mobile robot manually using remote control connected with cable has constraints that limited space of robot movement. For that developed mobile robot control system using bluetooth communication. The purpose of this research is to create a mobile robot control system through wireless communication using voice command instruction via application on Android using microcontroller type Arduino Mega2560. The methodology in this research is the voice instruction will be recorded by the application on Android, then matched with the database and then converted into characters in the form of strings and sent via bluetooth transmitter on Android to bluetooth receiver on mobile robot to be executed by program made on microcontroller robot. The results obtained include mobile robot can move to follow voice command instruction that is given include command forward, backward, turn left and right only for one movement while in test result got error of movement equal to 1.55% with response time 4-7 second because the process of recording and translation of voice instructions on Android and also influenced by noise or other sounds that are not desired.

Este artículo plantea un análisis de Protest-$1 como proyecto artístico-tecnológico multiusuario, interactivo y relacional que permite al usuario un acercamiento cognitivo a la protesta sociopolítica, siendo parte de una manifestación simulada en contra de los bombardeos de Israel sobre Palestina. La instalación se compone de una proyección frontal, dos altavoces y tres dispositivos compuestos de un megáfono y un smartphone, cada uno. El interactor elige las acciones que desea hacer acontecer en el evento de protesta pulsando los botones de la pantalla táctil del teléfono móvil y posteriormente, agita el megáfono con el fin de materializar en la manifestación, mediante el esfuerzo, la acción escogida. A su vez, Protesta-$1 permite a los usuarios luchar para evitar que otro usuario consiga sacar adelante la acción de protesta elegida creando un marco en el que el querer de la mayoría somete siempre a la minoría. Los altavoces emiten la voz de los medios de comunicación que relatan la protesta en forma de noticiario y a tiempo real, permitiendo a los interactores articular la protesta siendo conscientes de la imagen global que se está emitiendo.Palabras clave: INTERACCIÓN MULTIUSUARIO; ARTICULACIÓN; PROTESTA SOCIOPOLÍTICA; MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN; CONECTIVIDAD Simulating socio-political protestAbstractThis paper presents an analysis of Protest-$1: an artistic-technological, multi-user, interactive, relational project that provides the user with a cognitive approach to the socio-political protest by being part of a simulated demonstration against the Israeli bombing of Palestine. The installation comprises a front projection screen, two loudspeakers and three devices each consisting of a megaphone and a smartphone. The person who is interacting selects the actions that he/she wants to make happen during the protest event by pressing the buttons on the touch screen of a mobile phone and then shaking a megaphone so that, through this effort, the chosen action can be implemented in the demonstration. Likewise, by creating a framework in which the wishes of the majority always prevail over those of the minority, Protest-$1 allows the users to fight and thus prevent another user from managing to implement their own chosen protest action. The loudspeakers broadcast the voice of the mass media reporting on the protest in the form of a news bulletin and in real time, thus allowing those interacting to articulate the protest while remaining aware of the global image that is being broadcast.Keywords: INTERACTION; MULTI-USER; ARTICULATION; SOCIO-POLITICAL PROTEST; MASS MEDIA; CONNECTIVITY
