Low cost prototype development of electronic knee

Introduction With increase in road accidents, machine calamities etc, 5.5 lakhs people in India have lower limb amputations every year and need some kind of prosthesis1. Low cost prosthetic products are not able to perform coordinated and complex movements of a knee joint2,3. Sophisticated electronic knee are very costly (OttoBock cost’s Rs 18-20 lakhs). With the advent of integration of techno...

Low Cost Localisation for Agricultural Robotics

This paper presents a pose estimation approach that is resilient to typical sensor failure and suitable for low cost agricultural robots. Guiding large agricultural machinery with highly accurate GPS/INS systems has become standard practice, however these systems are inappropriate for smaller, lower-cost robots. Our positioning system estimates pose by fusing data from a low-cost global positio...

Design and testing of a low-cost robotic wheelchair prototype

Many people who are mobility impaired are, for a variety of reasons, incapable of using an ordinary wheelchair. In some instances, a power wheelchair also cannot be used, usually because of the difficulty the person has in controlling it (often due to additional disabilities). This paper describes two low-cost robotic wheelchair prototypes that assist the operator of the chair in avoiding obsta...
