Design and Feasibility Study of a Leg-exoskeleton Assistive Wheelchair Robot with Tests on Gluteus Medius Muscles.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Jan 28, 2019
The muscles of the lower limbs directly influence leg motion, therefore, lower limb muscle exercise is important for persons living with lower limb disabilities. This paper presents a medical assistive robot with leg exoskeletons for locomotion and l...
Assistive Grasping Based on Laser-point Detection with Application to Wheelchair-mounted Robotic Arms.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Jan 14, 2019
As the aging of the population becomes more severe, wheelchair-mounted robotic arms (WMRAs) are gaining an increased amount of attention. Laser pointer interactions are an attractive method enabling humans to unambiguously point out objects and pick ...
An EOG-based wheelchair robotic arm system for assisting patients with severe spinal cord injuries.
Journal of neural engineering
Jan 8, 2019
OBJECTIVE: In this study, we combine a wheelchair and an intelligent robotic arm based on an electrooculogram (EOG) signal to help patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) accomplish a self-drinking task. The main challenge is to accurately control ...
Ultrasonic Tethering to Enable Side-by-Side Following for Powered Wheelchairs.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Dec 30, 2018
In social situations, people who use a powered wheelchair must divide their attention between navigating the chair and conversing with people. These conversations could lead to increased mental stress when navigating and distraction from maneuvering ...
