Abstract :
Concerns a biorobotic system based on fuzzy logic to diagnose and monitor the neuro-psycho-physical conditions of an individual. The system, called Daphne, is characterized by a small dimension design; user-friendly hardware and software mean that even non-experts will be able to use this device. Furthermore, thanks to its design concept, the system can be used not only for medical applications, but also in the fields of daily health care and sport. Daphne is a portable system, involving multiple parameters such as reaction time, speed, strength and tremor which are processed by means of fuzzy logic, additionally, the device is characterized by a voice detection system
