Dr. Teodiano Freire Teodiano Freire Bastos es graduado en Ingeniería Eléctrica por la “Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo”, de Vitoria, Brasil (1987), Especialista en Automatización/Robótica por el Instituto de Automática Industrial (IAI) del CSIC, de Madrid, España (1989), es Doctor en Ciencias Físicas por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, España (1994), e hizo dos posdoctorados, siendo uno en la Universidad de Alcalá (España, 2005) y otro en la RMIT University (Australia, 2012). Actualmente es Profesor Asociado IV de la Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Vitoria, Brasil) e investigador nacional del CNPq. Su experiencia está en el área de Ingeniería Eléctrica con énfasis en sistemas de medición y de control con aplicación a robots móviles, robots industriales, robótica de rehabilitación, tecnologías de asistencia, así como en el procesamiento de señales biomédicas (sEMG, EOG, ECG y EEG). www2.ele.ufes.br/~tfbastos/ Plenary Talk: " Robotic Assistance Devices for People with Disabilities " The goal of this speech is to show some developments in Rehabilitation Robotics carried out in UFES/Brazil. First, a robotic wheelchair will be introduced. This wheelchair can navigate in autonomous mode, or auto-guided (following metallic strips), or commanded by: Eye Blinks Eye Movements Head Movements (Using Accelerometer or Vision) Blowing/Suck Brain Signals The Robotic Wheelchair has a laser sensor to detect obstacles and contains also a communication system onboard, which can be command through the aforementioned signals. The second development to be introduced is the robotic walker which uses force sensors to detect the motor intention and laser sensor to measure the human gait. It can be used inside rehabilitation clinics and help the recovery of people with problems associated with mobility. The robotic walker is a tool for also helping the diagnostic of diseases such as osteoarthritis and can be used for analysis and study of the human gait.
