Robotic Wheelchair

Currently, thousands of people are suffering from paralysis. They have difficulties with speaking and walking. So we’ve developed a new kind of robot that can help those people who can’t walk or speak. By utilizing this robot (hand gloves or wheelchair handle) and gesture-based regulators, people with physical disabilities will improve their quality of life. The robot of the proposal has two components, one is the controller of the motion, and the other is the Robotic Wheelchair (RW). Where one can easily interact with the robotic-base wheelchair-using sensor-based hand gesture. With this human-robot interaction, a patient can quite easily control the robot and can move freely. In addition, the required patients may use gestures (hand gloves or wheelchair handle) to express their needs. Furthermore, we will reduce the effort to regulate the RW and hand movements with this device, that’s really difficult for disabled or dumb people. Our device can run with approximately 94% accuracy and very minimal delay. GUB JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, Vol 7, Dec 2020 P 85-93

The Relationship

Studying trust within human-robot interaction is of great importance given the social relevance of robotic agents in a variety of contexts. We investigated the acquisition, loss and restoration of trust when preschool and school-age children played with either a human or a humanoid robot in-vivo. The relationship between trust and the quality of attachment relationships, Theory of Mind, and executive function skills was also investigated. No differences were found in children’s trust in the play-partner as a function of agency (human or robot). Nevertheless, 3-years-olds showed a trend toward trusting the human more than the robot, while 7-years-olds displayed the reverse behavioral pattern, thus highlighting the developing interplay between affective and cognitive correlates of trust.

Robot Interaction

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an interdisciplinary subject in science and engineering that makes it possible for machines to learn from data. Artificial Intelligence applications include prediction, recommendation, classification and recognition, object detection, natural language processing, autonomous systems, among others. The topics of the articles in this special issue include deep learning applied to medicine [1, 3], support vector machine applied to ecosystems [2], human-robot interaction [4], clustering in the identification of anomalous patterns in communication networks [5], expert systems for the simulation of natural disaster scenarios [6], real-time algorithms of artificial intelligence [7] and big data analytics for natural disasters [8].

People With Physical Disabilities

Several social spaces have been attended by people with disabilities. The universities include some of them, in this context we point out the Don Bosco Catholic University, in which through the University Extension Project Vida Nova, mainly serves people with spinal cord injuries with physical activities and resistance exercises. At the head of the project are coordinating teachers and students, with participation from the Physical Education and Nutrition courses. After the anamnesis, the training routines are elaborated, attending the requirements and limitations of each person. The objective is to present the work of adapted exercises carried out in the project with the members with physical disabilities. Seven individuals participate in the project in the morning, two of them female and five male, with ages between 24 and 61, an average of 44.85 years. Currently, the project serves around 15 people with physical disabilities, having the thera band as the most used means of adaptation. Future studies on the implementation of adapted gyms can be carried out, considering the interdisciplinary relevance of the theme, which in addition to involving courses in the health area, can cover other areas such as engineering and exacting for floor plan making and budgeting.
