Robot controlled by the eyes of Vietnamese students

Two 22-year-olds created eye-controlled robots, hoping to use the technology to help people with disabilities move and manipulate objects by eye movement.

Nguyen Anh Tuan and Duong Duc Tuan, alumni of Hanoi University of Industry, implemented the above invention in three months from February to May this year.

"If it goes into operation, it will be the first robot in Vietnam capable of eye control , " Duc Tuan said.

Team members said the small robot can move in many directions, controlled by the eye on the camera mounted on the frame with WiFi connection to the robot.

With this principle, if the human eye looks straight, the robot will go straight; Looking left, the robot will go left; look right the robot will go right; Look down the robot will go backwards.

When moving, the robot will shake hands like human activity. When stopped, the robot will raise his hand to signal stop. At this point it will collect some information from the environment such as temperature, humidity, gas transmission to the data center.

At the top of the robot is a camera ID that captures day or night images, and then transmits to the operator. The arms of the joints are controlled with flexible movement and underneath are the two main motors that move the robot. In the robot body is the source, the central control block and the sensors.

Duc Tuan said that the material makes the product easy to find in daily life, such as the robot cover made of aluminum sheets and mound; robot hand is also made of aluminum; plastic as a robot head.

"This is just the initial version of the team. From mastering our eye tracking technology, we aim to apply to vehicles and people with disabilities who are unable to move their limbs to work as desired. of them, Duc Tuan shared.
