Wheelchair Navigation System for Disabled and Elderly People.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Oct 28, 2016
An intelligent wheelchair (IW) system is developed in order to support safe mobility for disabled or elderly people with various impairments. The proposed IW offers two main functions: obstacle detection and avoidance, and situation recognition. Firs...
Using Self-Reliance Factors to Decide How to Share Control Between Human Powered Wheelchair Drivers and Ultrasonic Sensors.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Oct 25, 2016
A shared-control scheme for a powered wheelchair is presented. The wheelchair can be operated by a wheelchair driver using a joystick, or directed by a sensor system, or control can be combined between them. The wheelchair system can modify direction...
Test-retest reliability and four-week changes in cardiopulmonary fitness in stroke patients: evaluation using a robotics-assisted tilt table.
BMC neurology
Sep 6, 2016
BACKGROUND: Exercise testing devices for evaluating cardiopulmonary fitness in patients with severe disability after stroke are lacking, but we have adapted a robotics-assisted tilt table (RATT) for cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Using the ...
The Role of Audio-Visual Feedback in a Thought-Based Control of a Humanoid Robot: A BCI Study in Healthy and Spinal Cord Injured People.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Aug 3, 2016
The efficient control of our body and successful interaction with the environment are possible through the integration of multisensory information. Brain-computer interface (BCI) may allow people with sensorimotor disorders to actively interact in th...
An intelligent rollator for mobility impaired persons, especially stroke patients.
Journal of medical engineering & technology
Apr 14, 2016
An intelligent rollator (IRO) was developed that aims at obstacle detection and guidance to avoid collisions and accidental falls. The IRO is a retrofit four-wheeled rollator with an embedded computer, two solenoid brakes, rotation sensors on the whe...
Hand Rehabilitation Learning System With an Exoskeleton Robotic Glove.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Nov 19, 2015
This paper presents a hand rehabilitation learning system, the SAFE Glove, a device that can be utilized to enhance the rehabilitation of subjects with disabilities. This system is able to learn fingertip motion and force for grasping different objec...
Design and user evaluation of a wheelchair mounted robotic assisted transfer device.
BioMed research international
Feb 22, 2015
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to describe the robotic assisted transfer device (RATD) and an initial focus group evaluation by end users. The purpose of the device is to aid in the transfers of people with disabilities to and from their electric ...
Multi-motion robots control based on bioelectric signals from single-channel dry electrode.
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Feb 11, 2015
This article presents a multi-motion control system to help severe disabled people operate an auxiliary appliance using neck-up bioelectric signals measured by a single-channel dry electrode on the forehead. The single-channel dry-electrode multi-mot...
Towards a future robotic home environment: a survey.
Gerontology
Oct 22, 2014
PURPOSE: Demographic change has resulted in an increase of elderly people, while at the same time the number of active working people is falling. In the future, there will be less caretaking, which is necessary to support the aging population. In ord...
Developing an interpretable machine learning model for screening depression in older adults with functional disability.
Journal of affective disorders
Jun 15, 2025
This study utilized data from the 2020 wave of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study database, selecting 4322 participants aged 60 and above as the study sample. Important predictors of depression in older adults with functional disabili...
