The paralysis that occurs in the human limbs can be caused by strokes, injuries, age problems, and ligament damage. The purpose of this study is to design a hand exoskeleton as rehabilitation in patients who have had a stroke in hand. The contribution of this research is to design a hand exoskeleton with a control system to control mechanical movements using voice command so that it can be used by patients who have a stroke. To be used by patients who have a stroke, the researcher designed a control system using voice pattern recognition so that patients who have weak myoelectric signals can control the mechanics easily. This device uses the voice recognition module V3 as a voice command to control open and control close mechanical movements. This device is capable of recording and running commands directly by using the push button, which consists of a start, save, reset, open command record, and close command record. In the open command obtained an accuracy value of 97%, the close command obtained an accuracy value of 93%. The results showed that the voice commands given had an average accuracy rate of 95%. The results of this study can be implemented as a rehabilitation device for people who have had a stroke to try to mimic human hand movements.

<div>Prosthetic devices are necessary to help amputees achieve their daily activity in the natural way possible. The prosthetic hand has controlled by type of signals such as electromyography (EMG) and mechanomyography (MMG). The MMG signals have represented mechanical signals that generate during muscle contraction. These signals can be detected by accelerometers or microphones and any kind of sensors that can detect muscle vibrations. The contribution of the current paper is classifying hand gestures and control prosthetic hands depends on pattern recognition through accelerometer and microphone are to detect MMG signals. In addition to the cost of prosthetic hand less than other designs. Six subjects are involved. In this present work is the devices. In this study, two of them are amputee subjects. Each subject performs seven classes of movements. Pattern recognition (PR) is used to classify hand gestures. The wavelet packet transform (WPT) and root mean square (RMS) as features extracted from the signals and support vector machine (SVM) as a classifier. The average accuracy is 88.94% for offline tests and 84.45% for online tests. 3D printing technology is used in this study to build prosthetic hands.</div>

This paper presents aspects of the concept and design of prostheses for the upper limb. The objective of this research is that of prototyping a customized prosthesis, with EMG signals that initiate the motion. The prosthesis’ fingers’ motions (as well as that of its hand and forearm parts) are driven by micro-motors, and assisted by the individualized command and control system. The software and hardware tandem concept of this mechatronic system enables complex motion (in the horizontal and vertical plane) with accurate trajectory and different set rules (gripping pressure, object temperature, acceleration towards the object). One important idea is regarding customization via reverse engineering techniques. Due to this, the dimensions and appearance (geometric characteristics) of the prosthesis would look like the human hand itself. The trajectories and motions of the fingers, thumbs, and joints have been studied by kinematic analysis with the matrix–vector method aided by Matlab. The concept and design of the mechanical parts allow for complex finger motion—rotational motion in two planes. The command and control system is embedded, and data received from the sensors are processed by a micro-controller for managing micro-motor control. Preliminary testing of the sensors and micro-motors on a small platform, Arduino, was performed. Prototyping of the mechanical components has been a challenge because of the high accuracy needed for the geometric precision of the parts. Several techniques of rapid prototyping were considered, but only DLP (digital light processing) proved to be the right one.

Because of the rapid aging of the Japanese population and the acute decrease in young workers in Japan, robots are anticipated for use in performing rehabilitation and daily domestic tasks for nursing and welfare services. Use in environments with humans, safety, and human affinity are particularly important robot hand characteristics. Such robot hands must have flexible movements and be lightweight. Under these circumstances, this study specifically addresses the expansion of a silicone rubber, tendon-driven actuator, which has been developed using a pneumatic balloon. A multifingered robotic hand using the actuator is developed. Moreover, a fuzzy grasping control system is applied to the proposed robotic hand. The robot hand’s development is described incorporating pneumatic balloon actuator with the softness, size, and weight of a human hand. The fuzzy grasping control system is shown to be effective for the proposed robot hand, which can grasp soft objects easily.

This project builds a voice controlled car that can be controlled by voice commands which reacts in accordance to the corresponding voice command. However noise and distance handling require future development. Simple voice commands like left, right, forward, back, stop are used to run the car. These commands are given to Bluetooth module via an android application. The Bluetooth module and control unit are combined to store and test the voice commands. When an instruction for the automobile (car) is identified, a command message is sent to Arduino UNO, the Microcontroller of the car by the Bluetooth device. This command is analyzed by the microcontroller and followed up. In the vehicle, Image processing can be utilized to become aware of the shade and the obstacles. This work has been limited to the ZigBee system in the short-range (100mts range), and is linked to the car over long distance via long-range modules.

Pulp and paper processes frequently present nonlinear behavior, which means that process dynam-ics change with the operating points. These nonlinearities can challenge process control. PID controllers are the most popular controllers because they are simple and robust. However, a fixed set of PID tuning parameters is gen-erally not sufficient to optimize control of the process. Problems related to nonlinearities such as sluggish or oscilla-tory response can arise in different operating regions. Gain scheduling is a potential solution. In processes with mul-tiple control objectives, the control strategy must further evaluate loop interactions to decide on the pairing of manipulated and controlled variables that minimize the effect of such interactions and hence, optimize controller’s performance and stability. Using the CADSIM Plus™ commercial simulation software, we developed a Jacobian sim-ulation module that enables automatic bumps on the manipulated variables to calculate process gains at different operating points. These gains can be used in controller tuning. The module also enables the control system designer to evaluate loop interactions in a multivariable control system by calculating the Relative Gain Array (RGA) matrix, of which the Jacobian is an essential part.
