    A wearable robot to help disabled people perform everyday tasks has been developed by engineers.
    The aim is to help those with neurodegenerative disease or who have had a stroke.
    They often suffer from impaired movement of the shoulder, arm or hands, preventing them from daily tasks like brushing their teeth, combing their hair or eating.
    A team at the USA’s Harvard University has developed the soft, wearable robot to provide movement assistance and could even augment therapies to help regain mobility.
    The robot consists of a sensor-loaded vest with a balloon attached underneath the arm that inflates and deflates to apply mechanical assistance to a weak or impaired limb.
    Physical motions are highly individualised, especially for the mobility-impaired, making it difficult to design a device that works for many different people.
    The wearable robot is said to be responsive to an individual user’s exact movements.
    This makes it with more personalised assistance that could give users better, more controlled support for daily tasks.
    The researchers used a machine learning model that personalises assistance levels to an individual user.
    It learns which movements the user is trying to do, via sensors that track both motion and pressure.

    Scientists have developed a low-cost, durable, highly-sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that can be added to robotic hands enabling robots to detect information about their surroundings in a way that’s similar to humans.

    The UK researchers, from the University of Cambridge and University College London say the conductive skin is easy to fabricate and can be melted down and formed into a wide range of complex shapes.

    The artificial skin is packed with ultra-sensitive sensors that detect pressure, texture, temperature and even “pain-like signals.”

    The skin is made from an electrolysed hydrogel with electrodes embedded around the wrist.

    Electrical fields generated across the skin detect different types of stimulation.

    These sensors monitor thousands of bits of information which detect
    where the stimulation is and the type.

    Although the robotic skin is not as sensitive as human skin, it can detect signals from over 860,000 tiny pathways in the material.

    It can recognise different types of touch and pressure – like the tap of a finger, a hot or cold surface, damage caused by cutting or stabbing, or multiple points being touched at once – in a single material.

    Le jeu de fléchettes électronique devient polyvalent
    Picture MUST credit: Dartsnut The humble game of darts has been turned into a versatile electronic experience — with a board that keeps the score by itself. And it even knows who is chucking the arrows. If anyone gets fed up with the traditional game play there are dart-themed alternatives. The board can also be programmed for different games like a shoot-em up using Nerf guns. And it is a smart home device that can remember important dates like birthdays and celebrate them according to Hong Kong maker Dartsnut. The set, called Pixeldarts, uses social darts that have sucker cups instead of steel points at their tip while inside is a set of electronic sensors. The board is mounted on a wall like normal darts and has a 21-inch display touchscreen. Below that is a a pair of buttons, a directional pad and a smaller , secondary touchscreen.  When used to play darts, a standard dartboard is displayed on the big screen, with player scores shown at the smaller bottom screen.  Picture supplied by JLPPA

    Le jeu de fléchettes électronique devient polyvalent
    Picture MUST credit: Dartsnut The humble game of darts has been turned into a versatile electronic experience — with a board that keeps the score by itself. And it even knows who is chucking the arrows. If anyone gets fed up with the traditional game play there are dart-themed alternatives. The board can also be programmed for different games like a shoot-em up using Nerf guns. And it is a smart home device that can remember important dates like birthdays and celebrate them according to Hong Kong maker Dartsnut. The set, called Pixeldarts, uses social darts that have sucker cups instead of steel points at their tip while inside is a set of electronic sensors. The board is mounted on a wall like normal darts and has a 21-inch display touchscreen. Below that is a a pair of buttons, a directional pad and a smaller , secondary touchscreen.  When used to play darts, a standard dartboard is displayed on the big screen, with player scores shown at the smaller bottom screen.  Picture supplied by JLPPA

  • REPORTAGE - Mexiko: Leben mit dem Prader-Willi Syndrome
    DUK10075194_036
    REPORTAGE - Mexiko: Leben mit dem Prader-Willi Syndrome
    Jorge is prepped to undergo a polysomnographic examination at the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Health Sciences and Nutrition in Mexico City, Mexico on May 31, 2017. Polysomnography (PSG), a type of sleep study, is a test used to diagnose sleep disorders. Sleep disturbance is common among patients with Prader-Willi syndrome, independent of age and weight. Jorge Antonio Moreno Gaytán, a 34-year-old Mexican man, lives with his parents in Puebla, Mexico. He was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome at age seven. He weighs 136 kilos (300 pounds) and stands 152 centimeters (4 feet 12 inches). Jorge is in the process of getting bariatric surgery. As a teenager, he would pawn his siblings’ belongings in order to have money to buy food. He was also known to leave restaurants without paying. “Our worst enemy is hunger, it’s what will kill us”, Jorge says. He is now part of a sports team for people with disabilities. He has been in a relationship for 11 years with, Maria Guadalupe Pilar Saucedo Granda, known as “Lupita’, also diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in chromosome 15. In newborns symptoms include weak muscle tone (hypotonia), poor appetite and slow development. In childhood the person experiences a sensation of constant hunger no matter how much he/she eats which often leads to obesity and Type 2 diabetes. There may also be mild to moderate intellectual impairment and behavioral problems. Physical characteristics include a narrow forehead, small hands and feet, short in stature, and light skin color. Prader-Willi syndrome has no known cure. However, with early diagnosis and treatment such as growth hormone therapy, the condition may improve. Strict food supervision is typically required. PWS affects an estimated 1 in 10,000 to 30,000 people worldwide. (Photo by Bénédicte Desrus/Sipa USA) *** Local Caption *** 21272652
