In this project, we aim to control the position of a robotic arm for surgical tasks using coordinates obtained through computer vision with a synchronous 3D stereo VR USB camera. The precision of the tool center point (TCP) positioning is evaluated using experimental methodologies for camera calibration and stereoscopy, and validated through real-world measurement tests. Once the x-y-z coordinates and the manipulator’s kinematics are known, any task requiring robotic control can be executed without the user needing to manually specify the desired TCP position. This methodology could be integrated as part of the control algorithm for a robotic arm designed to assist or perform surgical procedures.
Background/Objectives: Fear detection through EEG signals has gained increasing attention due to its applications in affective computing, mental health monitoring, and intelligent safety systems. This systematic review aimed to identify the most effective methods, algorithms, and configurations reported in the literature for detecting fear from EEG signals using artificial intelligence (AI). Methods: Following the PRISMA 2020 methodology, a structured search was conducted using the string (“fear detection” AND “artificial intelligence” OR “machine learning” AND NOT “fnirs OR mri OR ct OR pet OR image”). After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 relevant studies were selected. Results: The review examined key methodological aspects such as algorithms (e.g., SVM, CNN, Decision Trees), EEG devices (Emotiv, Biosemi), experimental paradigms (videos, interactive games), dominant brainwave bands (beta, gamma, alpha), and electrode placement. Non-linear models, particularly when combined with immersive stimulation, achieved the highest classification accuracy (up to 92%). Beta and gamma frequencies were consistently associated with fear states, while frontotemporal electrode positioning and proprietary datasets further enhanced model performance. Conclusions: EEG-based fear detection using AI demonstrates high potential and rapid growth, offering significant interdisciplinary applications in healthcare, safety systems, and affective computing.
The proposal is focused on the development of an operating system that reduces the gap in the needed technological knowledge for the installation of an intelligent environment. The aim is to develop an operating system that is sufficiently advanced to autonomously manage the inclusion of new devices, and that at hardware level becomes largely versatile to integrate new devices and components into the environment. The proposal is based on modular hardware composed on three main elements: a brain, a module (a transductor) and a power supply. Consequently, the software must be able to recognize the installed hardware and subsequently manage communication with other devices with minimal human intervention, being helped by algorithms and fuzzy logic. Therefore, the contribution focuses on the creation of ubiquitous and pervasive systems, where the system manages itself and benefit.

It consists of an STM32-based EEG platform built-oriented as a tool for BCI experiments in the constraints of education and research fields, capable of sending data to PC or mobile devices via a wireless connection, allowing external processing capabilities alongside the main feature of embedded signal classification (TinyML) focused on early detection by discriminating children with ASD from non-ASD ones.
This paper proposes the creation of an intelligent system capable of differentiating between basic emotions as a result of identifying micro expressions in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This system will be developed with the aim of serving as a tool for therapists and caregivers of children with ASD; so that, when the child expresses an emotion that can’t be readily identified, the system can recognize it and allow the therapist or caregiver to give the child the necessary tools to help them understand their emotional state. This way they can process the emotion, regulate it, and if necessary, express it in a better way. All with the goal of improving the emotional intelligence of the child. The model was trained with Google’s Teachable Machine software using a dataset that contains images of micro-expressions referencing six basic emotions provided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Micro-expression (CASME) Databases.

In the field of neuropsychology, it is common to use physical, analog tests to evaluate different cognitive functions. Due to recent world events, the need for technologies to adapt and contribute with digital adaptations that can be relied upon has increased. In this research project, a small team of researchers combined efforts to develop software that could accurately measure outcomes from the Tower of Hanoi test, which include the number of moves and the time taken to finish the task, so that it could be used safely, efficiently, and remotely. While the digital adaptation served its purpose, there appears to be a subjective component that some could find more satisfactory in the physical implementation, although the efficacy of the test remained high.

The realization of activities in daily life can generate cognitive processes such as paying attention and having meditation to what is done, and with the use of these abilities, it is sought to obtain better results or to carry out the desired activity of the best possible way. Although people have the same capacities, there are activities where there may be differences between men and women or vice versa, for this reason, it is important to consider through gender, what are the attention level and the level of meditation presented during the performance of a specific activity. With this information, clustering of the elements is applied to visualize different levels and how it behaves in each gender, as well as in general.
