Abstract Human Adaptive Mechatronics (HAM) includes human and computer system in a closed loop. Elderly person with disabilities, normally carry out their daily routines with some assistance to move their limbs. With the short fall of human care takers, mechatronics devices are used with the likes of exoskeleton and exosuits to assist them. The rehabilitation and occupational therapy equipments utilize the electromyography (EMG) signals to measure the muscle activity potential. This paper focuses on optimizing the HAM model in prediction of intended motion of upper limb with high accuracy and to increase the response time of the system. Limb characteristics extraction… More >

Abstract Paralysis is detrimental to people in catastrophic ways: losing income opportunities, becoming a burden to their friends and family, further physical deterioration, and the combination of these occurrences can often lead to depression. In third world countries, suffering from paralysis can be extra deleterious, where a large proportion of the population is engaged in some form of physical labor. The number of people exposed to paralysis risk factors is also increasing, with more and more people having hypertension, smoking, and other abnormalities. Besides, low workplace safety precautions may lead to an increased risk of spinal cord injury in developing nations.… More >
