Neuroethics, Covert Consciousness, and Disability Rights: What Happens When Artificial Intelligence Meets Cognitive Motor Dissociation?

Journal of cognitive neuroscience
In this article, we consider the intersection of cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) and artificial intelligence (AI), hence when CMD meets AI. In covert consciousness, there is a discordance between the observed behavior, the traditional bedside mode...

AI and disability: A systematic scoping review.

Health informatics journal
Artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance life experiences and present challenges for people with disabilities. This study aims to investigate the relationship between AI and disability, exploring the potential benefits and challenges of using AI fo...

Robotics at the Service of Wheelchair Mobility for People with Disabilities: Story of a Clinical-Scientific Partnership.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The mobility of people with motor disabilities combined with sensory or cognitive disabilities, sometimes leads to safety issues that make independent travel impossible. In this context, teams based in Rennes in the west of France have been working t...

A Multimodal A* Algorithm to Solve the Two-Dimensional Optimization Problem of Accompanying a Person for an Intelligent Wheelchair.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Impaired mobility have far-reaching consequences for handicapped persons and their relatives. Mobile robotic technologies enable intelligent wheelchairs to regain mobility for those affected. Multiple research projects address human aware navigation ...

Design and development of a social assistive robot for music and game activities: a case study in a residential facility for disabled people.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Cognitive disability strongly reduces people's autonomy in performing desired as well as daily activities. The use of Social Assistive Robots (SARs) for cognitive rehabilitation therapy for disabled people could be a valuable gateway for the resident...

Neural Networks With Disabilities: An Introduction to Complementary Artificial Intelligence.

Neural computation
Machine learning is a good tool to simulate human cognitive skills as it is about mapping perceived information to various labels or action choices, aiming at optimal behavior policies for a human or an artificial agent operating in the environment. ...

A Multimodal Direct Gaze Interface for Wheelchairs and Teleoperated Robots.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Gaze-based interfaces are especially useful for people with disabilities involving the upper limbs or hands. Typically, users select from a number of options (e.g. letters or commands) displayed on a screen by gazing at the desired option. However, i...

The Potential of an Artificial Intelligence for Disability Advocacy: The WikiDisability Project.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Human rights monitoring for people with disabilities is in urgent need for disability data that is shared and available for local and international disability stakeholders (e.g., advocacy groups). Our aim is to use a Wikibase for editing, integrating...

Gait-assisted exoskeletons for children with cerebral palsy or spinal muscular atrophy: A systematic review.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) are common causes of motor disability in childhood. Gait exoskeletons are currently being used as part of rehabilitation for children with walking difficulties.
