A novel mobiles android application for facilitating wheelchair users access to public buildings in urban environments.

Scientific reports
In recent years, societies and governments worldwide have increasingly focused on addressing the rights and needs of individuals with various disabilities. Concurrently, smartphone applications (apps) have gained widespread popularity across diverse ...

Research on wheelchair form design based on Kansei engineering and GWO-BP neural network.

Scientific reports
With the increasing emphasis on humanistic care in society, consumers are no longer only concerned about the functional needs of products but also about the spiritual, cultural, and emotional needs that products bring to people. This study proposes a...

Intention Reasoning for User Action Sequences via Fusion of Object Task and Object Action Affordances Based on Dempster-Shafer Theory.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
To reduce the burden on individuals with disabilities when operating a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm (WMRA), many researchers have focused on inferring users' subsequent task intentions based on their "gazing" or "selecting" of scene objects. In thi...

Optimal design of a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm for activities of daily living.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The increasing prevalence of upper limb dysfunctions due to stroke, spinal cord injuries, and multiple sclerosis presents a critical challenge in assistive technology: designing robotic arms that are both energy‑efficient and capable of effe...

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
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...

Design and Implementation of an Interactive System for Service Robot Control and Monitoring.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This project aims to develop an interactive control system for an autonomous service robot using an ROS (robot operating system). The system integrates an intuitive web interface and an interactive chatbot supported by Google Gemini to enhance the co...

Remote Tongue-Based Control of a Wheelchair Mounted Assistive Robotic Manipulator and the Effect of Adaptive Semi-Automation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
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...

Machine Learning Algorithms for Prediction of Ambulation and Wheelchair Transfer Ability in Spina Bifida.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To determine which statistical techniques enhance our ability to predict ambulation and transfer ability in people with spina bifida (SB).

Barrier function-based prescribed performance trajectory tracking control of wheelchair upper-limb exoskeleton robot under actuator fault and external disturbance: Experimental verification.

ISA transactions
This paper presents an innovative control strategy for the trajectory tracking of wheelchair upper-limb exoskeleton robots, integrating sliding mode control with a barrier function-based prescribed performance approach to handle actuator faults and e...

Activities of Daily Living Object Dataset: Advancing Assistive Robotic Manipulation with a Tailored Dataset.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...
