2023年4月12日 · Assistive robots are designed to help people with disabilities or limitations in their daily activities. These robots can support people with tasks such as mobility, communication, and self-care, among others. There are different types of assistive robotic devices, each designed to address specific needs and challenges.

What is assistive robotics? My definition: An assistive robot is a device that can sense, process sensory information, and perform actions that benefit people with disabilities and older adults in the course of their daily living. Activities of daily living include: bathing & showering, dressing,

2024年12月3日 · The report examines patent trends in assistive robotics for people with special needs, a field focused on developing robotic systems for daily support, rehabilitation and recovery. In particular, it focuses on six robotic concepts: collaborative robots (“cobots”), therapeutic robots, robotic walkers, assistive exoskeletons, robotic mobile ...

Wearable assistive robotics has emerged as a promising technology to assist humans to enhance, supplement or replace limb motor functions, commonly affected after suffering an injury, a stroke or as a result of natural aging [1,2].

2023年10月25日 · In this issue of Science Robotics, we highlight studies focused on recent developments in assistive and rehabilitative robots with the end user in mind. An ideal goal for all robotic exoskeletons and prosthetic limbs is to create a seamless interface, and perhaps a symbiotic relationship, between human and machine such that the functions of the ...

2023年10月25日 · Collaborative robotics principles and advancements may transform the field of assistive and rehabilitation robotics. The goal of robotics is to improve human life. Robots performing tasks that are dull, dirty, and dangerous has often led to the belief that robots will displace humans who may have traditionally performed such tasks in the past.

In this article, we survey papers about physically assistive robots intended for people with disabilities from top conferences and journals in robotics, human–computer interactions, and accessible technology, to identify the general trends and research methodologies.

2023年10月8日 · Stretch’s simplicity can make it a more practical tool than robots with more sensors or degrees of freedom, especially for novice users, or for users with impairments that may limit how they ...

2023年10月9日 · Assistive robotics is an emerging research and practical field, mostly oriented toward healthcare and support for people with special needs. In a broader sense, however, it can be defined as robotics tools and devices to provide users of all abilities and needs with physical, cognitive, and social assistance.

2023年10月25日 · Collaborative robotics principles and advancements may transform the field of assistive and rehabilitation robotics. The goal of robotics is to improve human life. Robots performing tasks that are dull, dirty, and dangerous has often led to the belief that robots will displace humans who may have traditionally performed such tasks in the past.
