 THE EXTERNAL EFFECTS REQUIRE

1) The response to sounds,

2) A soft touch of a button,
3) By pronouncing a word,
4) The touch of the finger in front of a virtual reality drawing of the
finger itself.

 Fuzzy Logic is exploited in order to obtain an intelligent and reliable

detector.

 Three basic parameters (reaction, speed and force) are acquired

 Bio robotics
BRINGING BIOLOGY AND ROBOTICS TOGETHER...

 Making robots that emulate and stimulate living biological organisms mechanically or
even chemically.

 Application of biological ideas to address technological problems.

 Application of robotics to solve problems regarding biology and medicine.

 Biorobotics & Research

 Eccles - recognition of the behavior of the brain control circuits.

 Analogue concepts developed by Searle and Richards represent fundamental steps to
recognize how much the robotic systems are helping in the simulation of brain activity.
 some of the scientific developments linked to biology and Bio robotics: activation of neuron
circuits, recovery of damaged neuromotor functions, etc.
 Parkinson's Disease

 Parkinson's disease is a progressive, degenerative neurological movement

disorder that affects approximately 10 million people world wide.

 Parkinson's disease occurs when the nerve cells in the brain that make dopamine
are slowly destroyed.

 Primary symptoms: Tremor, Rigidity, Postural Instability, Bradykinesia.

 An estimated 7-10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson's disease.
 Alzheimer’s Disease

 Causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.

 Symptom: difficulty in remembering newly learned. information.

 Alzheimer's disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States
and the 5th leading cause of death for those aged 65 and older.
 DDX system

 It is used for a soft touch. The person looks at the screen and
reads words of warning and of start. In the same time, a
sound, like a beep, gives the start signal.

 The person must press softly the button with index finger,
with right or left hand.

 The tremor before and during the pressure on the button is

measured by a switch which detects oscillations of the hand.
Software diagram
 Button push
■ performed by placing forefinger on button and pushing it
down slowly.
■ Followed by visual-sound signal.
1) Fast protocol
2) Virtual protocol

 Vocal Articulation
1) Fast reading: fore period and duration to
articulate word are measured.
2) Delayed reading

Result analysis and presentation with fuzzy logic

 TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE WORKING
SYSTEM DDX

 Parameters are acquired from the button.

 tremor sensor - measures vibrations of the wrist of the hand.

 Processor -> Buzzer -> timer starts->sampling -> sends another impulse to the buzzer -> variable tj (value
of the timer) -> patient will press the push button> variable ti(reaction time), variable tf (end of the
movement stroke)-> The speed of patient motion can be calculated from these times.

 Pressure is calculated using a simple circuit.

 Bio robotic Electronic circuit

 A digital display LCD (twelve characters in two columns),

 4 keys for managing a menu navigator similar to that of a
mobile phone menu,
 An OK key to confirm,
 A Menu key in order to return to the main menu,
 A Buzzer for the acoustic beep,
 A Load cell by strain gauges with its amplifier
 By pressing the button 3 beacons are sent:
Start pressure beacon
Race-end beacon
Force beacon

 Application

 Experimental tests done on subject affected from

Parkinson’s.
 Experimental tests done on subjects belonging to the sport
field.
 Tests in the professional field: Ferrari Race.
 ADVANTAGES
 This device is very small and portable device.
 User-friendly machine.
 It is like a mobile phone,
 with more efficient diagnostic results.
 The ability to hold the joystick with a single hand is the fundamental
aspect of this system.
 A person's state of health may be tested daily.
 It also provides the ability of transferring diagnosis through a
remote communication interface in order to monitor daily the
state of health of a patient.

 The system is an intelligent-machine based on soft computing

techniques.

 Its efficiency can be improved considering more example for

membership function calibration or, moreover, improving the
response correctness by using a self learning technique.
 DISADVANTAGE

The DDX control system consists of a small board with an internal fuzzy
logic. It is clear that the main disadvantage of such circuit switched
networks is that they are not able to adequately cope with highly variable
traffic.
Future Aspects

 Improvement: A new model with CAD design & rapid

prototyping
 Reduced dimension and an hardware & user-friendly
software
 The system can be used not only in medical field, but also in
the daily health and sport field.
 Parameters considered: reaction time, speed, tremor, force
and ability of coordination and synchronization.
 Test protocol
 Results analysis: IPF
Conclusion

 The system is an intelligent biorobotic system based on soft

computing techniques and, as such, its efficiency maybe
improved via extended function calibration or by improving
response correctness with self-learning techniques.
 Daphne device allows to obtain a quantitative and exact
measure of the neuromotor health condition of a person and
of it reflects very well the psychological condition.
 The application to the diagnosis of the Parkinson's disease
was the first result of this system.
