Enabling Students with Severe Disabilities to Communicate with Learning Environments

Abstract

this paper presents the design of an assistive technology that allows people with disabilities to communicate with learning environments. We propose an assistive Tongue Drive System (TDS) which enables the end user to use their tongue to communicate by means of an Android Device. In this study, the design of the TDS is discussed.

Motion control of an articulated mobile manipulator in 3D using the Lyapunov-based control scheme

“…Robotic mechanical systems such as aerial and ground vehicles, swimming and flying robots, parallel robots, car-like, tractor-trailer and mobile manipulators appear prominently in the literature and are commonly researched in different sectors for their inclusion in various real-world applications such as transportation, companionship, sampling, medical treatment and surgery, save and rescue, pursuit-evasion, surveying and explorations (Assaf et al, 2018;Bunjaku et al, 2017;Chevalier et al, 2014;Kumar et al, 2016Kumar et al, , 2021Matychyn, 2020;Mehta et al, 2017;Raj et al, 2020a;Sharma et al, 2015). Amongst all the existing and new robotic systems, the mobile manipulators have been emerged in the last decade as commercial tools which play an indispensable role to improve human livelihood and endeavours in health sectors and particularly in industries CONTACT Avinesh Prasad avinesh.prasad@usp.ac.fj which require automation and repetition yet with high precision and accuracy (Bunjaku et al, 2017;Pajak & Pajak, 2017).…”
