Abstract
- This work describes the control of a pneumatic soft robotic actuator via eye movements. The soft robot is actuated using two supply sources: a vacuum pump and an air supply pump for both negative and positive air supply sources respectively. Two controlled states are presented: the actuation of the vacuum and air pump. Through eye positioning and tracking on the graphical user interface to actuate either pump, a control command is directed to inflate or deflate the pneumatic actuator. The potential of this application is in rehabilitation, whereby eye movements are used to control a rehabilitation-based assistive soft actuator rather than ON/OFF electronics. This is demonstrated in this work using an elbow based rehabilitation soft actuator.<br />Biomedical Engineering; Electrical Engineering; Data Visualization; Computer Engineering; Robotics; Materials Characterization; Structural Analysis; pneumatic actuator; soft robot; pleated network design; corrugated actuator; eye tracker controlled actuator; eye gaze system for control; tobii tracker 4c with soft actuator
