(1)Title: A Smart Robotics Walker System for Heart Rate Monitoring and Walking
Rehabilitation of PD
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) typically causes motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS),
where Freezing of Gait (FOG) is motor symptoms and Autonomic Nervous System (ANS),
including changes in Heart Rate (HR), consider as non-motor manifestations. Most existing walker
systems widely focus on FOG analysis without giving much attention to health monitoring feedback
during rehabilitation. This study presents a smart robotics walker system (SRW) for HR monitoring
and walking rehabilitation. The system framework interacts with a voice-based virtual assistant and
simultaneous use of a PPG sensor. The proposed system framework provides an IoT platform by
synchronizing real-time heart rates and rehabilitation information of the user. Meantime, PPG data
interjects with the efforts of HEBI actuators to stop driving. The system performance presented a
strategic analysis of HR changes with a non-PD person and PD patient by 10m steady line of
walking. The result showed that HR rapidly increases while performing with PD patients than a
non-PD subject, which validates the performance of walking rehabilitation. In addition, the user
can know their HR condition in normal and abnormal situations, and the therapist can evaluate the
success of the rehabilitation information from the IoT environment. We aim to provide a better
rehabilitation IoT platform with SRW considering health conditions like the HR patterns of the
user. The system can implement with any existing walker for PD patients.

(2)Title: A Study on Gait Cycle Estimation Using an Integrated System of Pneumatic
Artificial Muscle Assist Device and Assistive Walker for Parkinson's Disease
Patients
Abstract: In recent years, Japan has evolved into an aging society, with a growing number of
people who have Parkinson’s disease. As the number of patients increases, there is also a rise in
demand for rehabilitation and assistive devices. Using these devices carries the need to evaluate
their effectiveness, which has been difficult. This research aims to monitor and estimate the gait
cycle by integrating a pneumatically driven artificial muscle assist device and an assisted walker.
As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the estimation could be done with sufficiently
high accuracy. In the future, we will verify the effectiveness of the assist by having PD patients use
it.

Entitled: Design and Construction of a Smart Public Sanitation System
Abstract:
A sanitation technology is ‘smart’ when adapted to local conditions and changing
environments. This paper describes the design and construction of a smart public sanitation
system to create human behavior by using flash. The system has been constructed based on
Artificial Intelligence using the microcontroller series Arduino UNO. Push buttons have been
used to operate the servo mechanism for door lock operation to lock and unlock the door
according to the user interface. This project has been designed with an experimental
methodology to fulfill the vision of a sustainable world from third-world countries. A smart
dustbin has been used in the system. The dustbin is developed using ultrasonic sensor
technology to operate the servomotor. To abate the electricity cost, automatic day light-
controlled sensor technology is also used. To make the system user-friendly an emergency
button has been also used for emergency exit. Moreover, a water level indicator has been set
up to measure the water level inside the flush tank and an alarming system has been also built
to monitor the total process of this system. This is a revolutionary invention to ensure health
safety in public sanitation.
Keywords: AI, Sanitation, Health safety, Dustbin, Day-night light, Monitoring.

Research Projects:
From 2014 to present now, I have been managing to develop various research and
prototyping projects which are related to robotics, AI, and automation. Hence, it’s
very difficult to describe all projects that are over 40.
❖ Some major projects are described briefly bellow:
1. Smart Robotics Walker: As my graduation thesis I have been working on
Developing a Smart walker. In this study, I am focusing on controlling the actuator’s
motion, using voice assistance, multi-sensors, and vision systems. The aims of the
projects are to provide better walking rehabilitation and healthy motoring systems.

2. Hover Systems: Recently I have been working as a co-lead of a research project
which is associated with TRI and Kyutech with a group of leaders, supervised by
Prof. Shibata. According to the rules and restrictions, the context of the description
should be omitted only by showing a picture below in Fig2. We used HEBI Actuators
for controlling the prototype Hover wheels using Python and mahlab simulation with
agent-based action.

3. Helping Arms for You- HEFY project: As a research scholar at Kyutech in Japan,
earlier I started working on HEFY Project for dressing assistance robotics. For a short
time, I carried out this extension project by understanding ROS, Vision systems, and
robot manipulations. The ultimate goal of the HAFY Project is to help with dressing.
4. AI Food finder: Food classifiers are challenging tasks in vision systems. Nowadays
food grasping, cooking, and serving are becoming very popular all over the world in
Robotics applications. We proposed an AI Food detector; A model of a Generative
adversarial network for food Classifier using Jetson Nano and camera’s depth image. This
project received recognition from NVIDIA and I am a certificated Jetson AI developer.

5. Fire Fighter | Self Driving Car | Home Assistive Motility Robot: In recent decades,
many researchers are working on developing fighter robots for home and industrial
safety. In addition, Self-deriving and home assistive mobility robots are very hot
topics worldwide. From this point of view, we tried to develop a firefighter robot, a
self-driving car using a turtle boat and G-mapping from SLAM data. We used
cameras deeps image and gazebo simulators. We presented this project while taking
ROS classes under supervision of Prof. Tamuko at Kyutech.

6. Smart Sanitation System: Previously I already described that my undergraduate thesis was
for public sanitation systems. This research work has novel objectives to change human
behavior by adapting smart sanitation systems for developing countries like Bangladesh.

7. Blind Stick Robot: Robotics cane, visual impedance, multi-sensors are commonly used for
assistive support of blind people. Smart walking stick for the blind is the device used to help
blind people to walk, I developed an AI framework using multi-sensors like ultrasonic
sensors, soil sensors, gas sensors, vibrating motors, and an airphone. This IoT-based stick
robot aims to privilege a new dimension and as a result, I published three journals by
attending two conferences.

8. Home automation and Security Robot: Android-controlled home automation
systems are another advanced application in our everyday life. Although this is not
very common in developing countries like Bangladesh. However, people are getting
smarter and these types of projects are now a fundamental demand. Also, home
security systems are very essential. I developed complete home automation and
security systems using embedded systems and android applications in 2015. As the
application, I used this system in my apartment for 4 years. The motoring data-based
connected with the same IP and my mail id, every day I could check all data from
cloud station, in the advanced application, Door locks, turning lights, fan, Air
conditioner, and motoring water levels are also added to the system framework.

9. Defense Security Robot: Inspired by European defense systems, I also tried to do
some research and development work on defense security robots for my fellow
countryman. Using mapping, and predicting the environment, my proposed robot
systems helped to take action and send data to the host room. However, this type of
research is very confidential and I didn’t give more force due to limited research
funds. Initially, it was supported by the World University of Bangladesh-WUB.

10. Humanoid Robot and a BABY Robot: When Robot Sofia visited Bangladesh in
2017, I was very inspired and I promised myself that I will develop a low-cost
humanoid robot because Bangladesh Govt. paid about million dollars to organize that
exhibition. Also, many children need toy robots for controlling their sad emotions
and play games. I developed two humanoid robots and I used Bangla Language for
operating and interfaces. Moreover, the mechanical design and construction followed
a low budget that never happened in Bangladesh. Most of the body parts and types of
equipment, I used from recycled bin products with the help of my own startup
company.
