Joint torque prediction is crucial when investigating biomechanics, evaluating treatments, and designing powered assistive devices. Controllers in assistive technology require reference torque trajectories to set the level of assistance for a patient...
Wearable robots have been developed to assist the physical performance of humans. Specifically, exosuits have attracted attention due to their lightweight and soft nature, which facilitate user movement. Although several types of force controllers ha...
BACKGROUND: The aging population and the shortage of geriatric care workers are major global concerns. Socially assistive robots (SARs) have the potential to address these issues, but developing SARs for various types of users is still in its infancy...
The increasing number of individuals with disabilities-over 61 million adults in the United States alone-underscores the urgent need for technologies that enhance autonomy and independence. Among these individuals, millions rely on wheelchairs and of...
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare delivery represents a transformative opportunity to enhance the lives of people living with disabilities. AI-driven technologies, such as assistive devices, conversational agents, and reha...
BACKGROUND: Population aging affects society, with a profound impact on daily activities for those of a low socioeconomic status and with motor impairments. Social assistive robots (SARs) and monitoring technologies can improve older adults' well-bei...
(1) Background: Human detection and tracking are critical tasks for assistive autonomous robots, particularly in ensuring safe and efficient human-robot interaction in indoor environments. The increasing need for personal assistance among the elderly...
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...
