Beach cleaning robots have been proposed as an option in reducing the pollution of beaches in Mexico, through garbage collection. To collect waste the robot must have a mechanism that can take the waste and deposit it in a container where they can remain without generating pollution. In our institute various mechanisms have been implemented that allow waste to be collected and this article shows the description of some of them showing the application of additive manufacturing in their design. The objective is to show the design, implementation and application of each collection system designed, showing the improvement by applying additive manufacturing. The basic contribution of this work is to show different design options and the parameters to consider in the design of each of them.
Language is a fundamental tool for human interaction. Through communication an individual may obtain and transmit information, emotions and wishes. However, language is an acquired skill that requires a development process, in which the critical phase of development occurs during childhood an individual may encounter social, cognitive and emotional problems during the aforementioned and later stages of life if this skill has not fully matured. This impact may be reduced or eliminated through therapy, with the aid of tools such as Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, along with techniques such as music therapy and articulation therapy. These techniques are employed to aid the patient fully develop their linguistic abilities. A platform which incorporates the aforementioned therapeutic elements with current technological advances is proposed in this research paper, which combines them with a label system readable by machine. The results of experimental therapeutic sessions are be addressed in this research paper.
The image processing projects through vision systems, are a great didactic support point in the mechatronics career, since they have wide application in the industry in the process lines primarily to perform assembly, inspection, selection and component placement. One of the methods used is to apply artificial neural networks for the identification of images and a factor to analyze is the evaluation of the learning capacities of these networks in the identification of geometric figures. In this article, the training of a convolutional artificial neural network using Python is presented. This type of work is focused on joining projects based on industry 4.0 that may contain link options with process systems based on these technologies. In this work, a vision system based on python programming was made and has its contribution in the libraries that were designed and can be linked to different types of applications within a manufacturing process.
This article presents the results of tests performed on the mechanical system of wheeled robots, so they can be implemented as therapy instruments for people with different capacities (ASD). The results displayed show the robot's behavior following a trajectory and its dependence on operator handling. In this way, results can be extrapolated about the importance of design for the development of mechanical systems that can be reliable to be implemented as therapy tools.
The cognitive abilities of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are different from those of children who do not have this characteristic. Parents, teachers, scientists, and therapists strive to develop neuropsychological systems, ludic software, and others systems that help children with ASD improve their attention to learn faster. According to the experience of experts from the Multiple Attention Center 51, a mechanical system that forces them to use their two cerebral hemispheres, as allowed by a pedaling system and with a specific protocol of tasks, will help them to focus their attention allowing them to learn basic tasks that allow them to integrate into conventional schools. There are not many Educational organizations focused on treating children with ASD so they need to improve and develop different learning conditions for infants with ASD to accelerate their integration into conventional schools. This article presents the evolution of a dynamic pedaling system that is used as a parallel complement to the education of a child with ASD, which we believe will accelerate the development of their abilities and the possibility of integrating more quickly into their social environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
