The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a handicapping condition on mother-infant interactions and, to investigate the conditions under which coordinated attention to an object and a person is demonstrated. This study provides a unique opportunity to make across-mother and within-mother comparisons of mother-infant interactions in two sets of fraternal twins. In each set, one...

Correspondence Infanticide for the handicapped newborn-a secular rejection SIR Thomas Long's article on Infanticide for the Handicapped Newborn seemed to assume that Ramsey's religious stance is the only valid opposition to Kuhse and Singer's utilitarianism. I do not think this is true; from a secular humanitarian point of view killing is also wrong. Kuhse and Singer's definition of a 'person' ...

An visually handicapped person finds it tough to find the presence of any obstacles in their approach and it's terribly search out precise location stick if is misplaced. Thus, multifunctional blind comes as a projected answer assist impaired folks day living while not assistance others. This paper conducts survey on few vital up date developments sticks keep with utilization various microcontr...

Gaze estimation has been an active research and important technique for seriously physically handicapped person to communicate. In this paper, we proposed eye tracking method using electrooculogram signals which is small-burden. However, there is a problem that the resolution is not so high. Our experiments were conducted to investigate the EOG component strongly correlated with changes in eye ...

Human’s especially handicapped people it is difficult to operate the system. This paper deals with interface of system and a people with their eye blinking. Here we can find out the eye blinking of any person who can operate the system with a detection function. By using this detection function we can estimate the position of an eye blink. The measurement of an eye blink parameter provides requ...

Investigated was the effect of age, sex, experience, locus of control, self image, and grade level taught on the attitudes of 139 regular and special class teachers toward handicapped individuals. Ss completed the Attitude Toward Handicapped Individuals (ATHI) Scale, an abbreviated 11-item Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and the Self-Esteem Scale. Twenty-two predictor variables...

Occupational Capabilities. The occupational capabilities of the MHSS offer the greatest potential benefit to a handicapped individual. There are many blueand white-collar jobs that can be adapted for MHSSbased performance. However, this area also poses the greatest software challenges because efficient software subroutines will be needed to interface the MHSS with the occupational equipment. Th...

Robots of the future should communicate with humans in a natural way. Hence, we are especially interested in hand motion based gesture interfaces. The purpose of this study was to present a reliable means for human-computer interfacing based on hand gestures made in three dimensions, which could be interpreted and adequately used in controlling a remote robot's movement. In this paper we discus...

Robotic researches can contribute to the restoration of some functions lost by handicapped people. The over-cost generated by the additive potentialities must be affordable and related to the value of the usual product. In most cases, autonomous functions are direct transpositions of solutions applied in industrial robotics. If we consider that in addition with cost, security is a supplementary...
