This article should discuss how robotics specifically can be used to increase health literacy in underserved populations. However, advancements in technology offer an opportunity to improve healthcare, increase access to it, and improve health literacy for those in underserved areas. Insufficient job security, child care opportunities and transportation availability present significant difficulties for underserved populations."* The approach which goes from the DELTA to the HEXA is first developed. The authors extend the principle of the DELTA mechanical structure in order to obtain orientations of the travelling plate. "Sociocultural factors, including differential environmental exposures, psychological stressors, poor diet and lacking health risk education contribute to disparities across socioeconomic statuses. The paper presents a new design for a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel structure dedicated to high-speed applications.

In relation to healthcare, underserved communities are characterized by inadequate access to and reduced utilization of preventive care and treatment. How Robotics Can Increase Health Literacy in Underserved Populations If doing again, I would probably go with some smart servos that are daisy-chainable and can report back status information (like the FEETech Smart Servo ) - but then you can't use the SSC-32U controller and need to hack your own. One of the downside is the wire mess you get with the 25 servos. The BotBoarduino and SSC-32U Servo controller fit nicely into the kit and are relative easy to understand.
Hexa 6 robot code#
The example code is incomplete and is missing logic to control the head, mandibles and tail. You need some soldering and basic mechanical skills. But this is exactly why it is so fun and rewarding to assemble the kit, figure out the best way to orient the components and lay the wires, and see the robot eventually walk. There are some forum posts giving tips but are sometimes contradicting. Its designed as a platform for people to learn how. It is not so easy to assemble and the documentation is outdated. HEXA is a six-legged, highly maneuverable robot that can overcome obstacles and change its walking gait.
