Animatronický model oka se simulátorem elektrookulografie

Abstract

The bachelor thesis focuses on the design and production of an animatronic eye model equipped with an electrooculography (EOG) simulator. The device can be used in educational settings to demonstrate the difference between physiological and pathological eye movements. The main product is an eye model that allows the demonstration of physiological eye movement using a joystick. Another feature involves the use of buttons that trigger pre-programmed pathological eye movements—strabismus and nystagmus. Moving the joystick generates a simulated electrooculographic voltage curve displayed in the Arduino IDE. An alternative proposed method of control is the use of actual EOG voltage measurements taken directly from a test subject, which would then drive the movement of the animatronic model. While this type of control remains theoretical, all necessary electronics have already been designed. All components are enclosed within a head-shaped casing, which enhances the project with a sense of authenticity and realism.
