A review of computer vision for semi-autonomous control of assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs).

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
The advances in artificial intelligence have started to reach a level where autonomous systems are becoming increasingly popular as a way to aid people in their everyday life. Such intelligent systems may especially be beneficially for people strugg...

Combination of Exoskeletal Upper Limb Robot and Occupational Therapy Improve Activities of Daily Living Function in Acute Stroke Patients.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
PURPOSE: Previous studies have suggested that upper limb rehabilitation using therapeutic robots improves motor function of stroke patients. However, the effect of upper limb robotic rehabilitation on improving functioning in activities of daily livi...

Robot-assisted therapy for balance function rehabilitation after stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

International journal of nursing studies
OBJECTIVE: To identify the rehabilitative effects of robot-assisted therapy on balance function among stroke patients.

Augmenting Recurrent Neural Networks Resilience by Dropout.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
This brief discusses the simple idea that dropout regularization can be used to efficiently induce resiliency to missing inputs at prediction time in a generic neural network. We show how the approach can be effective on tasks where imputation strate...

Robotic Glove with Soft-Elastic Composite Actuators for Assisting Activities of Daily Living.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic hand/gloves for hand rehabilitation can aid the performance of activities of daily living (ADL). Although existing soft robotic hands can assist with finger flexion, few have addressed finger extension, which is a challenging task for st...

Identifying Features that Enhance Older Adults' Acceptance of Robots: A Mixed Methods Study.

Gerontology
BACKGROUND: With global aging, robots are considered a promising solution for handling the shortage of aged care and companionships. However, these technologies would serve little purpose if their intended users do not accept them. While the socioemo...

Stress detection in daily life scenarios using smart phones and wearable sensors: A survey.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Stress has become a significant cause for many diseases in the modern society. Recently, smartphones, smartwatches and smart wrist-bands have become an integral part of our lives and have reached a widespread usage. This raised the question of whethe...

A Telemedicine Robot System for Assisted and Independent Living.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The emerging demographic trends toward an aging population, demand new ways and solutions to improve the quality of elderly life. These include, prolonged independent living, improved health care, and reduced social isolation. Recent technological ad...

A Semi-Automatic Annotation Approach for Human Activity Recognition.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Modern smartphones and wearables often contain multiple embedded sensors which generate significant amounts of data. This information can be used for body monitoring-based areas such as healthcare, indoor location, user-adaptive recommendations and t...

Machine learning methods for detecting urinary tract infection and analysing daily living activities in people with dementia.

PloS one
Dementia is a neurological and cognitive condition that affects millions of people around the world. At any given time in the United Kingdom, 1 in 4 hospital beds are occupied by a person with dementia, while about 22% of these hospital admissions ar...
