Marine pollution has been one of the most important problems we need to address in modern days, as it can cause an imbalance in the marine life of a body of water. This work presents a proof-of-concept of an underwater unmanned autonomous vehicle for detecting dissolved solids. The system was designed based on the mechatronics engineering model, so that it can move around a body water while measures the solid particles in water. The preliminary results are promising, and we anticipate the use of this low-cost system to help measuring water pollution in near city body waters. ©The authors ©IEEE.

Elderly people have increased at an accelerated rate in recent years. In Mexico, one of the main problems affecting this population are related to disabilities, specifically limited mobility, i.e., arthritis in older adults. Different technological solutions have been proposed, such as electrical wheelchairs. However, for arthritic people, these wheelchairs are difficult to operate, lacking comfortability, and might be very expensive. In this work, we propose the development of a smart wheelchair for arthritic older adults able to move automatically and controlled by using slight manual movements of the hand and by voice commands. We followed the general methodology of a mechatronic design. A proof-of-concept model of the wheelchair was implemented. For validation, we tested the prototype in different real indoor scenarios. Results conclude that our proposed smart wheelchair complies with the user requirements, it is easy to operate, and the cost is reduced considerably. We anticipate this is a low-cost efficient smart wheelchair prototype that can be further considered for real technological solutions.

Design of a Soft Gripper Hand for a Quadruped Robot

This work aims to solve a current balancing problem for a quadruped robot by proposing a soft gripper. The main problem for the project is the lack of modules to make a quadruped robot walk through tough environments, which is designed to help in accidents to look for people and maintenance in factories. Viable solutions for the main body were found with a look alike chameleon robot. With that premise, the goal for the chameleon robot is to have a capable of moving through difficult surfaces and to have enough movement so to get better results in the displacement. To fulfill this requirement, the proposed key idea presented here is to design a gripper capable of helping the main body to achieve difficult places being as safe as possible. Furthermore, the gripper is an actual module for the main robot, and should be easy to substitute and build, in case it is needed in other situations. Because of that, the gripper is designed with the help of soft robotics. Experimental results in lab show the effectiveness of the soft gripper. We anticipate this system will help the robot to use the force effectively through each step. © 2023 IEEE.

In this paper, we present the development of an intelligent bicycle which will be able to help the user achieve a more efficient exercise routine via the control of a DC motor. This project was developed in several stages, from the approach of the system's functions to the components that would conform to it in order to achieve a detailed concept that can meet the requirements correctly. The sector of the population that motivated the realization of this project and to whom it is mainly directed are all those who cycle in Mexico City and find their routines inefficient. Through the use of this bicycle, which has a heart rate measurement system, it is possible to monitor it to regulate the intensity of the exercise. It will be made possible by incorporating a motor that is activated as soon as it detects an elevated heart rate, which may mean that the user requires assistance or has to stop the exercise altogether. The results provide evidence that assisting the user does indeed help reduce overexertion. © 2023 IEEE.
