Overview• Goal: Develop a robot for clinical use
with underdeveloped children that mimics and encourages movement to help with motor and neural development
• Components• Kinect for Windows • Microcontrollers (Arduino)• Laptop for processing• Robot body and motors
3
Background• The Mirror Neuron Unit
• Studies say that watching movements while doing them develops MNUs
• MNUs are thought to be tied with higher brain function
4
BackgroundSystems in use:• Motion games for stroke patients
• Physical therapy - If some of this time can be spent with this robot, costs can be reduced
• Clinical need was discovered by a nurse in the Anchutz Medical center observing positive results from a child with Autism with a similar device
5
Mechanical Side –The robot• Degrees of movement – Shoulder and elbow joints
must be able to rotate and extend (hands being developed later)
• Motors – Must keep track of position (servos), and have enough torque to lift the arms, run off of 5V from the Arduino
