Reimagining robotic walkers for real-world outdoor play environments with insights from legged robots: a scoping review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: For children with mobility impairments, without cognitive delays, who want to participate in outdoor activities, existing assistive technology (AT) to support their needs is limited. In this review, we investigate the control and design of a...

Preliminary evaluation of an automated robotic transfer assist device in the home setting.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of six weeks of routine use of a novel robotic transfer device, the AgileLife Patient Transfer System, on mobility-related health outcomes, task demand, and satisfaction relative to previo...

Deep Learning Architecture to Assist With Steering a Powered Wheelchair.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper describes a novel Deep Learning architecture to assist with steering a powered wheelchair. A rule-based approach is utilized to train and test a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network. It is the first time a LSTM has been used for st...

Deep Learning-Based Object Detection, Localisation and Tracking for Smart Wheelchair Healthcare Mobility.

International journal of environmental research and public health
This paper deals with the development of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) for a smart electric wheelchair in order to improve the autonomy of disabled people. Our use case, built from a formal clinical study, is based on the detection, dep...

Effect of the Hybrid Assistive Limb on the Gait Pattern for Cerebral Palsy.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequent childhood motor disability. Achieving ambulation or standing in children with CP has been a major goal of physical therapy. Recently, robot-assisted gait training using the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) has bee...
