Efficient Self-Attention Model for Speech Recognition-Based Assistive Robots Control.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Assistive robots are tools that people living with upper body disabilities can leverage to autonomously perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Unfortunately, conventional control methods still rely on low-dimensional, easy-to-implement interfaces ...

A Non-Linear Body Machine Interface for Controlling Assistive Robotic Arms.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Body machine interfaces (BoMIs) enable individuals with paralysis to achieve a greater measure of independence in daily activities by assisting the control of devices such as robotic manipulators. The first BoMIs relied on Principal Compon...

Obstacle Detection System for Navigation Assistance of Visually Impaired People Based on Deep Learning Techniques.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Visually impaired people seek social integration, yet their mobility is restricted. They need a personal navigation system that can provide privacy and increase their confidence for better life quality. In this paper, based on deep learning and neura...

Are ChatGPT and large language models "the answer" to bringing us closer to systematic review automation?

Systematic reviews
In this commentary, we discuss ChatGPT and our perspectives on its utility to systematic reviews (SRs) through the appropriateness and applicability of its responses to SR related prompts. The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted tech...

A Critical Review on Factors Affecting the User Adoption of Wearable and Soft Robotics.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, the advent of soft robotics has changed the landscape of wearable technologies. Soft robots are highly compliant and malleable, thus ensuring safe human-machine interactions. To date, a wide variety of actuation mechanisms have been ...

Nurses' perception towards care robots and their work experience with socially assistive technology during COVID-19: A qualitative study.

Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.)
This study aimed to explore nurses' perceptions towards care robots and their work experiences in caring for older adults who use socially assistive technology. This qualitative descriptive study included 18 nurses who cared for older adults with dem...

Socially Assistive Devices in Healthcare-a Systematic Review of Empirical Evidence from an Ethical Perspective.

Science and engineering ethics
Socially assistive devices such as care robots or companions have been advocated as a promising tool in elderly care in Western healthcare systems. Ethical debates indicate various challenges. An important part of the ethical evaluation is to underst...

Home-care nursing controlled mobile robot with vital signal monitoring.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
This study describes the development (design, construction, instrumentation, and control) of a nursing mobile robotic device to monitor vital signals in home-cared patients. The proposed device measures electrocardiography potentials, oxygen saturati...

A Care Robot with Ethical Sensing System for Older Adults at Home.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Many studies have explored emotional and mental services that robots can provide for older adults, such as offering them daily conversation, news, music, or health information. However, the ethical issues raised by using sensors for frail older adult...

LidSonic V2.0: A LiDAR and Deep-Learning-Based Green Assistive Edge Device to Enhance Mobility for the Visually Impaired.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Over a billion people around the world are disabled, among whom 253 million are visually impaired or blind, and this number is greatly increasing due to ageing, chronic diseases, and poor environments and health. Despite many proposals, the current d...
