| Abstract | Assistive technologies predominantly employ devices such as virtual keyboards and wheelchair controllers to enable handicapped individuals to interact with their environment. In the absence of assistive devices, a handicapped individual's only recourse is to rely on an attendant for assistance in performing daily activities. Assistive technologies therefore enable disabled person to regain a measure of independence. However, the state-of-the-art assistive technologies are limited in their abilities. There has been limited work on assistive writing agents. A previous study investigated robot-based writing using a 5-axis industrial robot [8]. This paper investigates the feasibility of a robot-based writing agent using a lower capability3-axis device. This work is en route to the interfacing to a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) for BCI-controlled robot writing. A full alphanumerical English character set was developed and implemented using the system. The generated characters were legible. Minor errors were evident in trajectory execution due to controller transience and frayed marker tips. However, these errors do not significantly demerit the legibility of the characters.The 3-axis robot was therefore able to generate legible text like the previous study [8] but with a lower capability device. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
