Abstract
This thesis develops an interactive electrical acupuncture statue in order to teach and practice acupuncture. This apparatus comprises circuit, sensors and user interface. First, the circuit makes use of the digital signal processor (DSP), multipliers and analog-to-digital converter to generate an external interrupt signal and to scan sensor arrays. Second, we use electric conductive rubber and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) to fabricate the position sensor and the distance sensor. These two kinds of sensors can simulate real human’s skin. Finally, we develop the disease database to record various diseases and relevant therapies, such that the users can practice these therapies by using the apparatus. This system was at first constructed on a PC-based system for verification, and then transplanted to an embedded system for system miniaturization.
