Laboratory work and risk analysis

Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at AIRLab/Lambrate. It will include electrical and electronic activity. Potentially risky activities are the following:

  • Use of soldering iron. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
  • Use of high-voltage circuits. Special gloves and a current limiter will be used.
  • Robot testing. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
  • Use of a modified (human-guided) golf cart. We will use the cart only in open-air environments.

Part 2: project description

The project is aimed at studying the relatioship between Cognition and Emotions in a Robotic rehabilitation task. Rehabilitation robots aims at developing robotics system that can be used to perform rehabilitation session with patients that have differents kinds of motorial desease. Affective computing can improve the performance of the rehabilitation process by adapting the therapy to the patient's need. We use a classifier system that is able to discriminate among different stress levels in order to assest the relationship between the task difficulty and the stress felt by the subject.
