Exploring the Use of Socially Assistive Robots Among Socially Isolated Korean American Older Adults.

Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society
This pilot study explored whether a socially assistive robot (SAR) would have positive effects on Korean American immigrant older adults' health behaviors and emotional well-being and whether the older adults would be receptive to the SAR. A total of...

Immersive participatory design of assistive robots to support older adults.

Ergonomics
Assistive robots have the potential to support independence, enhance safety, and lower healthcare costs for older adults, as well as alleviate the demands of their care partners. However, ensuring that these robots will effectively and reliably addre...

Generalizing Upper Limb Force Modeling With Transfer Learning: A Multimodal Approach Using EMG and IMU for New Users and Conditions.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In the field of EMG-based force modeling, the ability to generalize models across individuals could play a significant role in its adoption across a range of applications, including assistive devices, robotic and rehabilitation devices. However, curr...

User confidence and electrodermal activity during haptic exploration for perceptual comparisons using a robotic system.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Children with physical impairments may have trouble effectively performing the hand movements used in haptic exploration and may miss information about object properties. Assistive robotic systems with haptic feedback may enable children with physica...

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) driven solutions have the potential to significantly impact individuals with disabilities by providing assistance in their daily activities and facilitating the acquisition of new abilities. The utilisation of AI technolo...

Usability study of a smart transfer-assistive robot with dual arms for care workers.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The predicted global labor shortages and health problems for long-term care workers can be addressed by care robots. We have developed a smart transfer-assistive robot with dual arms to assist in patient transfers. This study aims to evaluat...

The role of collaborative robotics in assistive and rehabilitation applications.

Science robotics
Collaborative robotics principles and advancements may transform the field of assistive and rehabilitation robotics.

Examining the Impact of Assistive Technology on Psychological Health, Family Education, and Curriculum Research in Japan: Insights from Artificial Intelligence.

Journal of autism and developmental disorders
This study aims to analyze the effect of psychological health based on artificial intelligence agent technology on the implementation effect of Japanese family education. By combining mobile agent technology and education thought, the system structur...

Investigating the effectiveness of socially assistive robot on depression and cognitive functions of community dwelling older adults with cognitive impairments.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
We evaluated a socially assistive robot (SAR) named Hyodol during a six-week intervention. This study enrolled 69 older adults with cognitive decline. To screen the eligibility, we have used the following three criteria, namely Korean-Mini-Mental Sta...
