CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSAs a basis to develop new communication channel for severe physical handicapped, we analyzed the responses of the skin potentials to letter recognition. The skin potential activity recorded from normal left hand of 4 subjects during a character matching task with computer screen. The sympathetic skin response(SSR)was observed with the target letter distinction. The appearance rate of SSR was 40-100% in the 4 subjects. There are much advantage of the sympathetic response as an alternative switching aid ; minimum requirement of recording technique, easiness of detection, and no need of training of users. However, there are some limitations to solve in practical use ; long latency, low occurrence, and habituation.View full abstractDownload PDF (878K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this sutdy is to develop to software for learning which enables people with communication disorders to make a sentence using visual symbols and to respond to wh-questions. The software using the flexiboard, which is helpful for the disabled physically and mentally, was developed. The method for studying is to make them combine symbols for a subject, an object and a verb according to the scene in the picture of "Someone is doing something". We give consideration to the opinions from special school teachers about the purpose of the software and the content of the program.View full abstractDownload PDF (1091K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSRecently it has become possible for the hearing impaired in remote locations to communicate via sign language using video phones and video conferencing systems. In the future, it appears likely that these technlogies will make it possible to provide remote sign language interpretation services. In actually attempting visual communication for the hearing impaired, however, critical problems must be take in account, besides the issue of video quality, picture quality and refresh rate, that is currently being examined. with our classes we are conducting experiments of remote sign language interpretation, and show that the sub window is effective for the remote sign language interpreting.View full abstractDownload PDF (1163K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSWe discuss the possibilities of active information acquisition by sign language interpreters using remote control cameras. The results of some trial experiments are as follows, "It is difficult for an interpreter or an interpreting assistant to control the remote cameras for active information acquisition.", "The interpreters can adapt flexibly to the environment even though selected by other camera operators.". Moreover, the facts "The information given to an interpreter is increased compared with the actual interpretation.", "The human interactions among a lecturer and an interpreter and students are decreased." are interesting.View full abstractDownload PDF (837K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSA medical interview sheet has an important role in obtaining information about a patient in every medical treatment situation. The sheet is usually written in Japanese. In the previous study we reported the structure for the sheet in a dental clinic situation. The present report focuses on deaf patients and addressed two issues : 1) Japanese explanations, used in the interview sheet, that are easy to understand for deaf people. 2) Signed language explanations for the sheet that enhance the understanding of the meaning. We can say, from these investigations, that criteria for the written Japanese are slightly different between hearing and deaf people. Further, the modality of signing affects the style of explanations in both a signed language and written Japanese.View full abstractDownload PDF (763K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSThis report addresses the effect of media communication on community care for people with disabilities. We show three examples of living styles for people with disabilitis : 1) a male who lives alone at an apartment, 2) a married couple of people with disabilities who lives at an apartment, and 3) a female who lives together with her family. Based on these examples, we investigate ; 1) how they use media communication in daily life, and 2) the relation between media communication based interactions and community care.View full abstractDownload PDF (854K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSSince face and facial expressions are very crucial factors for communication, we have been developing a face robot which has a human-like face and can express facial expressions as similar as human being. The important factors of face robot for coexistence and communication with humans are 1.human size and compact, and 2.easy to control. While we have used air cylinders with pressurized air for the first-generation of face robot, to accomplish these two factors, we decided to use a SMA(shaped memory alloy)actuators driven by electricity and built the second-generation of face robot. Although we succeeded in making human size face robot, it came to clear that SMA does not have enough power and speed. To overcome these issues, we develop air-tube-actuator driven by pressurized air and manufacture the third-generation of face robot. In this paper, we present how to built the third-generation of face robot and its basic ability.View full abstractDownload PDF (1052K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSIn order to enable people to move those who can not move, we have been developing "muscle suits" by wearing which muscular force can be supported. Muscle suits consists of wear and Mckibben type actuator driven by compressed air. Because actuators are sewed in wear, it is no need to use metal frame and thus muscle suits comes to very light and cheap. Most of medical and welfare apparatus have been developing for care giver and then there is few apparatus for people in need of nursing care. As the result, they lost their own identity and positive attitude. While it becomes possible for them by wearing muscle suits to enable their body such as arms and legs to control by their own will. Thus muscle suits are very useful and helpful not only for muscular force support but also mental support.View full abstractDownload PDF (1199K) -
