Abstract

Here, students learn how cochlear implants work to improve the lives of people with profound hearing loss. The students experiment with the control parameters of a cochlear implant signal processor using Matlab tools, and learning digital signal processing concepts, including filtering, along the way.

ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe the current version of the artificial retina prosthesis and cortical implant that we are developing. This research project will require significant advances in a variety of disciplines. A multidisciplinary team of researchers in Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery, Computer Networking, VLSI, and Sensors were assembled to develop the novel solutions needed to make artificial vision for the visually-impaired a reality. This paper describes the ....etc

IPPAM within the framework of the project is underway to build a mechatronic prosthesis under equipped with pneumatic artificial muscles. The aim of this PhD project is study of the influence of an actuated prosthesis to a step pattern of leg amputees. The rigidity of the prosthesis only adaptable, and there must be a certain torque can be delivered. Students are first asked to operate with a control panel (displays, knobs, ...) for the prosthesis design. The prosthesis must possess a number of operating modes. It must be possible for the press ....etc

Artificial Eye

The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue that lines the back wall inside the eye. Some of these cells act to receive light, while others interpret the information and send messages to the brain through the optic nerve. This is part of the process that enables us to see. In damaged or dysfunctional retina, the photoreceptors stop working, causing blindness. By some estimates, there are more than 10 million people worldwide affected by retinal diseases that lead to loss of vision.

The motto of new era in medical sciences is “Repair it if you can. Replace it if you can’t.” This motto serves right when we peep into the history of the prosthetic arm. Latest in the field of development is the myoelectric arm, which gives additional gripping facilities along with various degrees of freedom of movements.

INTRODUCTION
So what is cyber ware you ask? Consider a computer interface where there is no need to type, no eyestrain or back-strain of sitting at a computer all day. You simply lie down, plug in your data-jack and think your computer's actions. Techno-junkie pipe dream? Perhaps, but there is a growing number of people who are trying to pull this new technology out of science fiction and into reality.
Most dictionaries don't contain a definition for cyber ware. This is unsurprising in this relatively new and unknow ....etc

Humanoid Robotics
1.Introduction:
Robotics:
Robotics is a branch of science and engineering dealing with the study of robots. It is involved with a robot's design, manufacture, application, and structural disposition. Robotics is related to electronics, mechanics, and software.
Robot:
A robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial ageant. In practice, it is usually an electro-mechanical machine which is guided by computer or electronic programming, and is thus able to do tasks on its own. Another com ....etc
