Adding navigation, artificial audition and vital sign monitoring capabilities to a telepresence mobile robot for remote home care applications.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
A telepresence mobile robot is a remote-controlled, wheeled device with wireless internet connectivity for bidirectional audio, video and data transmission. In health care, a telepresence robot could be used to have a clinician or a caregiver assist ...

Intuitive adaptive orientation control of assistive robots for people living with upper limb disabilities.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic assistive devices enhance the autonomy of individuals living with physical disabilities in their day-to-day life. Although the first priority for such devices is safety, they must also be intuitive and efficient from an engineering point of v...

VIBROfocus: Design of a focal vibro-tactile robotic-assistive system for spasticity rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The main focus of spasticity treatment is to alleviate pain, improve function and reduce risk of additional complications. In this paper the design of a robotic system with enhanced focal vibro-tactile stimulation for the treatment of spasticity in t...

Task-Oriented Performance Evaluation for Assistive Robotic Manipulators: A Pilot Study.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of commercially available assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) user interfaces and to investigate the concurrent validity and sensitivity to change with task-oriented performan...

Can the IROMEC robot support play in children with severe physical disabilities? A pilot study.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
The aim of this study was to explore the application of the IROMEC (Interactive social RObotic Mediators as Companions) robot to support play for children with severe physical disabilities in rehabilitation and special education. Within a 2-month pil...

Further Development of a Robotic-Assisted Transfer Device.

Topics in spinal cord injury rehabilitation
The task of performing transfers, such as from a wheelchair to a bed, has a high risk of injury to both the caregiver and the person being transferred. Although mechanical transfer devices can reduce these risks, these devices are not meant for use ...

Machine Learning Based Evaluation of Reading and Writing Difficulties.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The possibility of auto evaluation of reading and writing difficulties was investigated using non-parametric machine learning (ML) regression technique for URAWSS (Understanding Reading and Writing Skills of Schoolchildren) [1] test data of 168 child...

IntelliTable: Inclusively-Designed Furniture with Robotic Capabilities.

Studies in health technology and informatics
IntelliTable is a new proof-of-principle assistive technology system with robotic capabilities in the form of an elegant universal cantilever table able to move around by itself, or under user control. We describe the design and current capabilities ...

Standardization of Assistive Products with Robotic Technology - From a Perspective of ISO/TC173.

Studies in health technology and informatics
ISO/TC173 is a technical committee, in charge of international standardization of assistive products (APs). Robotic technology (RT) is currently an important topic in this field. APs with RT will be included in future revisions of the scope of TC173....
