Exploring the perceptions and experiences of caregivers with the application of socially assistive robots in dementia care: A systematic review of qualitative studies.
International journal of nursing studies
Apr 10, 2025
BACKGROUND: The use of socially assistive robots in dementia care is growing, aimed at improving patient well-being and alleviating caregiver burden. Refining the utilisation of robotic assistance in individuals with dementia is critical, drawing on ...
An effectiveness of machine learning models for estimate the financial cost of assistive services to disability care in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Scientific reports
Mar 28, 2025
As per the World Health Organization (WHO), the justifications of people with disabilities globally are restricted by physical and social barriers that exclude their full contribution to society. Constructed environment barriers can limit the availab...
An assistive robot that enables people with amyotrophia to perform sequences of everyday activities.
Scientific reports

Mobile manipulation aids aim at enabling people with motor impairments to physically interact with their environment. To facilitate the operation of such systems, a variety of components, such as suitable user interfaces and intuitive control of the ...
Depth-sensor-based shared control assistance for mobility and object manipulation: toward long-term home-use of BCI-controlled assistive robotic devices.
Journal of neural engineering
Feb 14, 2025
Assistive robots can be developed to restore or provide more autonomy for individuals with motor impairments. In particular, power wheelchairs can compensate lower-limb impairments, while robotic manipulators can compensate upper-limbs impairments. R...
Remote Tongue-Based Control of a Wheelchair Mounted Assistive Robotic Manipulator and the Effect of Adaptive Semi-Automation.
IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Jan 15, 2025
Increasing the independence of individuals with tetraplegia is a challenging task. One potential solution is to allow for use of an assistive robotic manipulator (ARM), when solving tasks in personal and remote space. There is a lack in available con...
A hierarchy category of socially assistive robots' functions: Insights from older adults.
Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Jan 6, 2025
Socially assistive robots (SARs) are increasingly recognized for their potential in helping older adults age in place. Effectively meeting the diverse needs of older adults requires a proper classification of SARs' functions. However, existing functi...
Exploring cultural imaginaries of robots with children with brittle bone disease: a participatory design study.
Medical humanities
Jan 2, 2025
A symbiotic relationship exists between narrative imaginaries of and real-life advancements in technology. Such cultural imaginings have a powerful influence on our understanding of the potential that technology has to affect our lives; as a result, ...
Why robot embodiment matters: questions of disability, race and intersectionality in the design of social robots.
Medical humanities
Jan 2, 2025
A growing minority of those with disabilities are people of color (POC), with, for example, autism diagnosis rates now higher for children of color than for white children in the USA. This trend underscores the need for assistive technologies, especi...
Longitudinal changes following the introduction of socially assistive robots in nursing homes: a qualitative study with ICF framework and causal loop diagramming.
BMC geriatrics
Dec 21, 2024
BACKGROUND: Socially assistive robots introduced in nursing care settings have multidimensional psychological impacts on care recipients and caregivers. This study aims to explore the longitudinal changes induced by socially assistive robots, focusin...
VIIDA and InViDe: computational approaches for generating and evaluating inclusive image paragraphs for the visually impaired.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Dec 11, 2024
BACKGROUND: Existing image description methods when used as Assistive Technologies often fall short in meeting the needs of blind or low vision (BLV) individuals. They tend to either compress all visual elements into brief captions, create disjointed...
