This study presents a simple remote-controlled device for accurately positioning skulls in forensic superimposition. The tilt and rotatory mechanism ensures precise alignment for facial reconstruction from photographs.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate skull positioning is crucial for successful facial superimposition in forensic investigations.
  • Existing methods may lack precision or ease of use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple, remote-controlled device for precise skull positioning.
  • To aid in the superimposition technique for facial reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a remote-controlled tilt and rotatory device.
  • Utilized a pan and tilt arrangement similar to surveillance cameras.
  • Incorporated two AC servomotors for precise tilt and rotation control.

Main Results:

  • The developed device allows for accurate and controlled positioning of the skull.
