GESTURE RECOGNITION FOR TELEOPERATION AND VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS
No full textThis paper presents the current developments at PERCRO in the field of Gesture Recognition of ergodic actions. At PERCRO this concept has been applied for coding and detecting the meaning of long sequences of movements. The concept of Gesture Recognition has been introduced in teleoperation systems and in Virtual Environments. These systems already have a structure for a detailed acquisition of user movements. Therefore, the algorithms for the Gesture Recognition can be inserted into the system with few efforts
Estudio de medidas de seguridad e higiene en aserradero EUCA – O SRL
No full textObjetivo general
Realizar un relevamiento de los puestos de trabajo para elaborar estrategias de trabajo seguro que ayuden a mejorar la salud y seguridad de los trabajadores evitando riesgos y mejorando el funcionamiento de la empresa, creando un espacio laboral adecuado a las normativas vigentes.
Objetivos específicos.
- Identificar peligros y evaluar riesgos en un puesto de trabajo seleccionado teniendo en cuenta la legislación vigente.
- Analizar las condiciones de higiene y seguridad y proponer medidas de control preventivo o correctivo que mejoren dichas condiciones.
- Concientizar e incentivar a todo el personal de la empresa mediante charlas explicativas y capacitaciones a usar elementos de protección personal para que puedan desarrollar su tarea eficientemente y sin riesgos evitando daños para su salud.
- Realizar un plan de emergencia a fin de que cada operario cumpla un rol

A novel wearable biometric capture system
No full textIn the present paper we introduce a novel wire- less system capable of simultaneously track and monitor the motion of the body and the associated muscular stress. The device provides with an array of four inertial and magnetic measurement units combined with up to 32 independent high sensitivity ADC channels. An embedded computing system does allow the high speed (4 KHz) EMG acquisition and filtering, combined with (100Hz) motion reconstruction and relevant features (20Hz) detection. The device connects to any receiving host using a portable server architecture and an extensible computing system which uses a web interface and a plugin architecture based on shared library.
The device has been conceived to monitor body activities in application on-the-go, where the use of wired devices is not suitable and the need for a strict synchronizations among the motion reconstruction and the myo-electric signals is fundamen- tal. In what follows we will describe the general architecture of the system, the embedded algorithms for motion and EMG reconstruction and the software architecture of the host system
Application of Filtering Strategies to Multiple Sclerosis Tremor
No full textIntention tremor severely compromises everyday life tasks in patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. We report the result of our investigation on the properties of Multiple Sclerosis tremor. We analysed the case of handwriting and the effects of filtering tremor with proper numerical systems. An index for the evaluation of movements has been proposed, its properties have been verified with healthy users and used for evaluating efficiency of filtering on Multiple Sclerosis patients. The achieved results have been applied in the development of some technological aids for assisting therapist and patients in their work/lif
