- Assistive technology (AT) supports individuals who experience difficulties in carrying out daily life physical activities, for example, people with disabilities, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, bone and joint disorders, heart disease, or stroke. Thanks to assistive technologies, these patients can regain their independence by using permissive devices to carry out physical activities without human assistance, and in ways that mirror healthy individuals. Hence, ATs support the autonomy of people who have been physically limited or have cognitive dysfunction. AT is also known as access technology, including mechanical, optical, electronic, and computer solutions to benefit people with sensory or motor impairments, thus allowing them to perform routine tasks that were previously impossible to execute. This chapter presents a prosthesis that has been designed for people with locomotor disabilities and deficiencies. The device is low cost, has low energy consumption, and is easy to use by a person with a hand disability. The subsequent developing stage will consist of transitioning from a traditional prosthesis to a neuroprosthesis, by using sensor networks and controlling the device (bionic prosthesis) through smart sensors and actuators, with control systems having microcontroller unit (MCU), brain-computer interface, and NextMind interfaces.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Social Internet of Vehicles (SIoV) falls under the umbrella of social Internet of Things (IoT), where vehicles are socially connected to other vehicles and roadside units that can reliably share information and services with other social entities by leveraging the capabilities of 5G technology, which brings new opportunities and challenges, e.g., collaborative power trading can address the mileage anxiety of electric vehicles. However, it relies on a trusted central party for scheduling, which introduces performance bottlenecks and cannot be set up in a distributed network, in addition, the lack of transparency in state-of-the-art Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) power trading schemes can introduce further trust issues. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based trustworthy collaborative power trading scheme for 5G-enabled social vehicular networks that uses a distributed market mechanism to introduce trusted power trading and avoids the dependence on a centralized dispatch center. Based on the game theory, we design the pricing and trading matching mechanism for V2V power trading to obtain maximum social welfare. We use blockchain to record power trading data for trusted pricing and use smart contracts for transaction matching. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in improving social welfare and reducing the load on the grid.
