In recent years, Polymer Optical Fiber (POF)-based sensors have been used for biomedical applications, however, the application of these types of sensors for the control of assistive devices has been little explored. For this reason, this work proposes the design and validation of a fuzzy logic controller that uses information from an array of POF-based sensors located in a pillow, which is used for wheelchair control in four directions (right, left, forward and stop) by using neck movements. The results allow concluding that the system is fast, accurate, and reliable. This work presents a contribution related to the design of assistive devices based on optical fiber sensors and focuses on people with upper- and lower-limb mobility restrictions. Future studies will address the evaluation of the system for people with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":151042,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Latin American Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"16 5-6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114025957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To analyze them, several devices exist designed to measure parameters such as temperature, humidity, and noise level inside the baby’s chamber. A complete analysis consists of 9 tests with a duration of 5 hours and 56 minutes overall. During this time, the workflow of the incubator is interrupted. The objective of this research is to develop an IoT-based prototype capable of monitoring the parameters inside the chamber; without stopping the operation of the equipment and that provides the security of not affecting the health of the premature baby. The IoT architecture was designed and the safety criteria for each component used to build the prototype were determined. Experimentation was used to perform tests in simulated environments and in a real environment. The results measured by the prototype were compared with those obtained by the certified measurement instrument Fluke INCU II. The values were compared using non-parametric statistic analysis to determine points for improvement.","PeriodicalId":151042,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Latin American Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"933 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133384328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
