Abstract :
This paper describes an intelligent sensor and control system, robotic prosthetic eye system, with artificial eye model, biomedical electrodes and a micro controller. The system intends to provide a rehabilitation ocular implant device that can be used by people with ocular implant. The proposed system can acquire the dynamic natural eye orientation signal, which is sent to the micro controller to control the artificial eye to have the same orientation. This paper starts with a brief review of various eye movement detection methods and then a proposed system is set up to carry out experimental study. Pilot study has demonstrated its potential for clinical applications.
