3D printing is generally used. Nevertheless, we want to make it more functional such as part of a smart system.
This study group has been conducting research and developments related to smart system mechanisms, techniques, tools, components, systems, and equipment based on manufacturing and control techniques. Those innovative research products broadly vary from a system applied in the health sector to robots able to check for pipe damage in the oil and gas industry.
To care for people with disabilities, the DTM FTUI team researched prosthetic hands. A prosthetic hand is usually moved and controlled with a stimulus of the muscles. However, in this study, the prosthetic hand utilized Electroencephalography (EEG) technology to receive a motion command following the user’s wishes through his brain waves. This EEG technology has several advantages. The user does not have to undergo surgery for his prosthetic hand, so it is easily installed or removed. Moreover, the price is relatively affordable since the EEG sensor has been commercially developed for entertainment, medical analysis, or focused learning measurement. Therefore, by utilizing an algorithm to detect flickers from commercial EEG sensors, the user can move his fingers in several modes or forms. Meanwhile, he can achieve a whole, 100-percent movement and return it to the original condition of each mode or form by detecting the level of focus and relaxation.
In-Pipe Inspection Robot (IPIR) is a term used in this innovation. The methods of which are primarily related to the techniques and structures of a driving device. A 3D-Printing provides the opportunity to develop and cross those methods even with their complex customization. The study encompassed the utilization of an image processing technique as the spearhead in checking the pipe condition and wireless control.
When a hand prosthesis and inspection robot system is developed, a supporting manufacturing technology like 3D-Printing technology (part of additive manufacturing) plays a crucial role since this method has several advantages. For instance, it can be used to make a difficult or complex shape, but it is user-friendly. A 3D-Printing composite was the focus of our exploration. We combined more than one type of materials to obtain various mechanical specification values from the constituent materials. for prototyping purposes.
