Multi-Robot 2.5D Localization and Mapping Using a Monte Carlo Algorithm on a Multi-Level Surface.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Most indoor environments have wheelchair adaptations or ramps, providing an opportunity for mobile robots to navigate sloped areas avoiding steps. These indoor environments with integrated sloped areas are divided into different levels. The multi-lev...

Exploring the Use of Brain-Computer Interfaces in Stroke Neurorehabilitation.

BioMed research international
With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, "brain-computer interfaces" are gradually entering the field of medical rehabilitation. As a result, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have been included in many countries' strateg...

Eye-Movement-Controlled Wheelchair Based on Flexible Hydrogel Biosensor and WT-SVM.

Biosensors
To assist patients with restricted mobility to control wheelchair freely, this paper presents an eye-movement-controlled wheelchair prototype based on a flexible hydrogel biosensor and Wavelet Transform-Support Vector Machine (WT-SVM) algorithm. Cons...

Machine Learning Algorithm Identifies the Importance of Environmental Factors for Hospital Discharge to Home of Stroke Patients using Wheelchair after Discharge.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Physical environmental factors are generally likely to become barriers for discharge to home of wheelchair users, compared with non-wheelchair users. However, the importance of environmental factors has not been investigated a...

Three-Dimensional Unified Motion Control of a Robotic Standing Wheelchair for Rehabilitation Purposes.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Technological advances in recent years have shown interest in the development of robots in the medical field. The integration of robotic systems in areas of assistance and rehabilitation improves the user's quality of life. In this context, this arti...

Preliminary evaluation of an automated robotic transfer assist device in the home setting.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of six weeks of routine use of a novel robotic transfer device, the AgileLife Patient Transfer System, on mobility-related health outcomes, task demand, and satisfaction relative to previo...

Deep Learning Architecture to Assist With Steering a Powered Wheelchair.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper describes a novel Deep Learning architecture to assist with steering a powered wheelchair. A rule-based approach is utilized to train and test a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network. It is the first time a LSTM has been used for st...

Deep Learning-Based Object Detection, Localisation and Tracking for Smart Wheelchair Healthcare Mobility.

International journal of environmental research and public health
This paper deals with the development of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) for a smart electric wheelchair in order to improve the autonomy of disabled people. Our use case, built from a formal clinical study, is based on the detection, dep...

Evaluation of the feasibility of an error-minimized approach to powered wheelchair skills training using shared control.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
BACKGROUND: Powered wheelchairs promote participation for people with mobility limitations. For older adults with cognitive impairment, existing training methods may not address learning needs, leading to difficulty with powered wheelchair skills. Er...

Novel lateral transfer assist robot decreases the difficulty of transfer in post-stroke hemiparesis patients: a pilot study.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the novel lateral transfer assist robot facilitates easier transfers compared with a wheelchair in post-stroke hemiparesis patients.
