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.
1) Recently, a dummy for Cardiac Simulation purposes,
and data acquisition systems involving neuromotor
control had been developed.
2) Analogue concepts developed, represents fundamental
steps to recognize how much the robotic systems are
helping in The Simulation of Brain Activity.
3) Scientific developments linked to Biology and Bio
robotics –
 Activation of neuron circuits.
 Recovery of damaged neuromotor functions.
 INTRODUCTION
• To measure the neuro-psychomotor conditions of an individual.
• It is necessary to obtain a set of parameters such as reaction
time, speed, strength and tremor.
• The set of parameters is useful not only to diagnose neuro-
motor pathologies, but also access general everyday health or
to monitor sports performance.
• Autonomous testing is important.
• The DDX system has been designed with reference to the
biomechanical characteristics of the human finger.
THE DDX SYSTEM (DISEASE
DETECTOR)
 WHAT IS DDX SYSTEM?
• Disease Detector(DDX), portable equipment with detection
of response time and psychophysical conditions.
• It is a simple joystick with a few buttons, an LCD display and
a simple interface for remote communication of diagnosis.
• 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.
 DDX SYSTEM
• It is used for a soft touch. The person
looks at the screen and reads words of
warning and of start.

• The person must press softly the button

with index finger.

• The tremor before and during the

pressure on the button is measured by a
switch which detects oscillations of the
hand.
SOFTWARE DIAGRAM OF DDX
SYSTEM
• 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 ->Patient will press the push button
->Variable ti, Variable tf -> The speed of patient
motion can be calculated from these times.
• Pressure is calculated using a simple circuit.
DISEASES DETECTED USING BIOROBOTICS
1) MOTOR NEURON DISEASES
MNDs are a group of progressive neurological
disorders that destroy motor neurons, the cells
that control essential voluntary muscle activity
such as Speaking, Walking, Breathing, and
Swallowing.
2) ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Causes problems with Memory, Thinking and
Behavior. In advanced stages of the disease,
complications from severe loss of brain function.
3) PARKINSON’S DISEASE
• Parkinson’s disease is a
Progressive,
Degenerative
neurological movement
disorder. It occurs when
the nerve cells in the
brain that make
dopamine are slowly
destroyed.
DIAGRAM OF BIOROBOTICS SYSTEM
A NEW DEVICE - DAPHNE
 A NEW DEVICE – DAPHNE
 The system, called DAPHINE is a bio robotic
device.
 It allows the diagnosis if neuro psycho – physical
condition, whether the person is affected by
nervous system pathologies as Parkinson’s
disease.
 The system DAPHINE is the result of research on
biomechanics of the finger of the human hand,
through the evolution and realization of
previous bio robotic systems.
 The EMG recording during an experiment,
performed both in conditions of direct
visual contact with the remote environment
and utilizing different interfaces, allows an
investigation of neuro muscular activity.
 Output is formed by muscular
performances and from signs of acquisition
of motor units.
 The considered parameters include signs of
psychomotor processes.
 IMPROVEMENT : A NEW
MODEL WITH CAD DESIGN &
RAPID PROTOTYPING.
• Reduced dimension and a 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
• Result Analysis: IPF
 CHALLENGES FACED BY BIOROBOTICS
1) The development of truly biomimetic robots requires that
soft materials be incorporated into the mechanical design.
Solution - One approach to this challenge is to identify how
soft animals control their movements and then apply the
found principles in robotic applications.
2) These area have remained largely unchanged for 30 years –
A battery to match metabolic conversion, muscle-like
actuators, self-healing material, autonomy in any
environment, etc.
 APPLICATIONS
• Experimental tests done on subject affected from
Parkinson’s.
• Experimental tests done on subjects belonging to the
sports field.
• Tests in the professional field: Ferrari race.
 CONCLUSION
• The system is an intelligent bio robotic system
based on soft computing techniques and, as
such, its efficiency maybe improved via
extended function calibration.
• Daphne device allows to obtain a quantitative
and exact measure of neuromotor health
condition and the psychological condition.
• The application of the diagnosis of the
Parkinson’s disease was the first result of this
system.
