Prediction of user preference over shared-control paradigms for a robotic wheelchair.
IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Jul 1, 2017
The design of intelligent powered wheelchairs has traditionally focused heavily on providing effective and efficient navigation assistance. Significantly less attention has been given to the end-user's preference between different assistance paradigm...
Towards a situation-and-user-aware multi-modal motorized toilet system to assist older adults with disabilities: A user requirements study.
IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Jul 1, 2017
In the recent decades state of the art technologies appeared in many areas to assist older adults with disabilities. However, one very essential activity of daily life, the toileting remained without any relevant development. The iToilet project of t...
Probabilistic vs linear blending approaches to shared control for wheelchair driving.
IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Jul 1, 2017
Some people with severe mobility impairments are unable to operate powered wheelchairs reliably and effectively, using commercially available interfaces. This has sparked a body of research into "smart wheelchairs", which assist users to drive safely...
Task-Oriented Performance Evaluation for Assistive Robotic Manipulators: A Pilot Study.
American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
Jun 1, 2017
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of commercially available assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) user interfaces and to investigate the concurrent validity and sensitivity to change with task-oriented performan...
Further Development of a Robotic-Assisted Transfer Device.
Topics in spinal cord injury rehabilitation
Jan 1, 2017
The task of performing transfers, such as from a wheelchair to a bed, has a high risk of injury to both the caregiver and the person being transferred. Although mechanical transfer devices can reduce these risks, these devices are not meant for use ...
Evaluating gaze-driven power wheelchair with navigation support for persons with disabilities.
Journal of rehabilitation research and development
Jan 1, 2015
This article describes a novel add-on for powered wheelchairs that is composed of a gaze-driven control system and a navigation support system. The add-on was tested by three users. All of the users were individuals with severe disabilities and no po...
Participatory design and validation of mobility enhancement robotic wheelchair.
Journal of rehabilitation research and development
Jan 1, 2015
The design of the mobility enhancement robotic wheelchair (MEBot) was based on input from electric powered wheelchair (EPW) users regarding the conditions they encounter when driving in both indoor and outdoor environments that may affect their safet...
Voice-Activated Lightweight Reacher to Assist with Upper Extremity Movement Limitations: A Case Study.
Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Jan 1, 2015
The focus of this research was to design a functional and user-friendly reacher for people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs). Engineering advancements have taken assistive robotics to new dimensions. Technologies such as wheelchair robotics and myo-el...
