dcterms.abstractThe overall goal of this project is to move the assistive control system and test bed from " proof of concept" to " functional prototype" based upon the novel approach presented by Dyer, et al for the Stony Brook 2012 Group 14's Senior Design, " Human Position Imaging as a Control Method for Robotics and Assistive Technologies" . The novel approach was a proof of concept that of a cross compiling, computer assisted method that relied on cheap, off the shelf parts to produce easy, natural , powerful, yet affordable control over a mobile 5 degree of freedom robotic arm. This project further improves on that initial proof of concept system and applies focus on address system usability issues. After parametrically analyzing existing joint tracking input software, it adds a smoother motion profile output, visual feedback for the operator, and elements were introduced to make operating the control system easier and more informative. It also finished off areas of implementation not fully fleshed out by the original proof of concept. The addressed areas of research and design in this research were successful in improving the overall operator experience of the control system, while holding dear to the intended design philosophy.
