0:00:15in the comic book universe tony star visibility in a genie as playboy philanthropist and
0:00:21the in and the internal operator of the i'm answer picture on the left
0:00:27twenty is a hero before table with his with a nice suit of armour that
0:00:31somehow move seamlessly with his body despite its immense way
0:00:36in the real well
0:00:37numerous military and industrial outputs are attempting to recreate this are also known as an
0:00:42extra skeleton tormentor uses natural speech power and endurance
0:00:48however other areas where the suit could be better applied
0:00:52in new zealand alone there are three hundred and eighty four thousand adults with the
0:00:57physical disability and this number steadily increasing
0:01:00every day
0:01:02twenty one using windows have a stroke zero point two percent of life buttons are
0:01:06affected by sri will palsy and there's one you spinal cord injury every five days
0:01:12a significant portion of these people require rehabilitation or an assistive device and if they
0:01:18had their own kind of alignments to their lives could be much easier
0:01:23the problem is that military versions of these suits require users to exert force is
0:01:28in talks the strong enough for the excess collagen to react to
0:01:32in for user such as the man in the wheelchair this is incredibly difficult and
0:01:36exhausting to do
0:01:38the solution and focus of my thesis is to develop an interfacing approach that makes
0:01:43use of what is known as the emd signal
0:01:47this is a by a signal that comes from the electrical activity with the muscle
0:01:51it can be detected non invasive way from the skin surface
0:01:56it indicates intended muscle activation and its main advantage is that it could be detected
0:02:00without an actual movement
0:02:03this means that could allow extra skeleton to respond proactively to user intent
0:02:10more importantly while physically disabled users are not always able to generate measurable forces they
0:02:17still have residual injury signals that the interface can pick up
0:02:22when these signals are combined
0:02:23with a model that mathematically represents the bone and muscle structure of a joint
0:02:29interfaces able to which produce an output for predicted talk and position of the joint
0:02:36this approach has been validated experimentally on the elder and four emotions have been able
0:02:41to be predicted with reasonable accuracy
0:02:44it is being applied further to the mass to cater a system all the jewel
0:02:47which is far more complex and has much wider range of movements
0:02:53a successful this will demonstrate the data in capability of this approach and its applicability
0:02:57for use with the with the physically disabled
0:03:03once the interface is combined with further developments in actual a to sensory hardware a
0:03:08controller technology i menstrual can become a reality for those actually needed
0:03:14thank you
