Overview
Article discusses possibilities of new control system of mechatronical rehabilitation TUKE version shoes. Originally they were developed as a part of the international FP7 project SMILING. We describe new mechanical concept of shoes with new simplified control system. That directly modifies chaotic signals, provides motor control of actuators and sensors of swing phase. Processing of data from the sensors of swing phase, generator of chaotic signals and transmit commands for motor control of actuators, provides microprocessor on an open electronic platform ARDUINO. Output data from the sensors, generator of chaotic signal and motor control, as well as the actual value of position controlled actuators, are also recorded and processed by a computer.
Keywords:
ARDUINO, rehabilitation shoes, sensors, generator of chaotic signals
