This publication presents the design and implementation of a novel and progressive haptic guidance scheme, as well a similar visual pattern guide for the acquisition of dynamic motor skills. In this release the performance of both schemes are compared in the practice of a simple task. The task of striking a target in a virtual environment (visual and haptic) was implemented in a training protocol of eleven sessions during the period of two months. Two performance measures based on skill level were used as input for the progressive control guide. The outcome of the experiment suggest that haptic guidance, based on measures of skill components, is effective in early stages of training when the protocol participants are beginning to understand the components of a task, but should be phased out to avoid the negative dependencies.

Objetivo general: Desarrollar un dispositivo validado para la determinación y clasificación de grupos sociales en riesgo de padecer diabetes mellitus
utilizando el concepto de la peroxidación de los lípidos en el plasma sanguíneo. Obtener un algoritmo para realizar un esquema de control de la terapia médica que se aplica regularmente cuando se presentan enfermedades de origen metabólico utilizando
el concepto de peroxidación de los lípidos en plasma. Desarrollar un esquema de pre-individualización de la dosis de insulina aplicada a los pacientes con diabetes diagnosticada empleando las variaciones del índice de dobles
enlaces en lípido del plasma sanguíneo.

This publication presents and validates quantitative measures of performance for a rhythmic task of hitting a target. This performance measures are derived from detailed analysis of human performance during an experiment of a month, where participants learned to operate a haptic interface of two degrees of freedom in a virtual environment to run a manual control task. These measures are used as inputs of haptic guidance schemes that adjust its control earnings based on real-time feedback of a human task. These schemes of guides will be incorporated in virtual training environments for humans to develop manual field activities such as surgery, physical therapy and sports.
Machine tools are the basis of productive industry because it is the machinery responsible for creating other machines. They are now highly automated and are capable of producing highly complex parts. One of the most recent trends are reconfigurable machines, which with appropriate mechanical and software adjustments can perform different functions. In this project, a reconfigurable machine tool was designed and built, which will have the capacity to carry out vertical turning and milling. Mechatronic design was used to achieve this prototype on time and form. Different software packages for computer-aided design, finite element analysis and simulation will be used to produce the prototype of a reconfigurable CNC lathe-milling machine and a design guide.
The Research Chair is working on the design of an automatic lower limb mobilizer for rehabilitation. Currently the workgroup is designing the mechanical exosqueleton model and are controlling three motors simultaneously for testing. It is expected to demonstrate that the contact points, arcs of movement, speed and angles proposed work properly to verify that the prototype is effective in rehabilitating patients with lower limb related diseases. The results of the prototype will be the start of further research that may lead to build a medical robotic system. This will give clinics, institutions and hospitals in Mexico increased capacity and improved efficiency of exercise based physical rehabilitation and therapies controlled by time and number of repetitions. This will allow achieving a quantitative measurement of patient progress, supporting the qualitative perception of the therapist and giving the patient the facility to improve his therapy gradually.
