Expert System of Chinese Medicine on the Moving Robotic Platform

The PC-based ryodoraku technique has played increasingly important role in the field of traditional Chinese medicine because of its advantages of better preventive diagnosis, less side effects and inexpensive medicare. Since the 1950’s, Dr. Nakatani Yoshio has developed the ryodoraku methodology to measure skin resistance for the purpose of preventive diagnosis based on Chinese acupuncture and the qi-field theory. However, the physician can hardly measure and adjust the qi-field biological energy of the limb meridians because of the clinical complexities for the moving robotic platform handicappers. In this paper, the ryodoraku theory of the limb meridians is modified by the bladder meridian detection on the spinal cord of handicappers so that they can acquire better clinical therapy. A PC-based expert system is developed on the crystal panel to detect bladder energy and make real-time acupuncture therapy according to the qi-field reactions on the spinal meridian of the examinee. Finally, clinical experiments are carefully schemed to justify the advantages of the proposed algorithm in Tse-En Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
