Background: Assistance robots have the potential to increase the independence of people who need daily care due to limited mobility or being wheelchair-bound. Current solutions of attaching robotic arms to motorized wheelchairs offer…
In the old age, few people need special care if they are suffering from specific diseases as they can get stroke while they are in normal life routine. Also patients of any age, who are not able to walk, need to be taken care of personally…
In order to reduce the burden on caregivers, we developed an intelligent electric wheelchair. We held workshops with caregivers, asked then regarding the problems in caregiving, and developed problem-solving methods. In the workshop,…
Due to Motor Neurone Diseases, a large population remains disabled worldwide, negatively impacting their independence and quality of life. This typically involves a weakness in the hand and forearm muscles, making it difficult to perform…
Brain-Computer interfaces (BCI) are widely used in reading brain signals and converting them into real-world motion. However, the signals produced from the BCI are noisy and hard to analyze. This paper looks specifically towards combining…
Mobility impairments, particularly those caused by stroke-induced hemiparesis, significantly impact independence and quality of life. Current smart walker controllers operate by using input forces from the user to control linear motion and…
This is the preprint version of our paper on 2015 International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation (ICVR2015). In this paper, we described the imagination scenarios of a touch-less interaction technology for hemiplegia, which can support…
This paper proposes an interactive system for mobile devices controlled by hand gestures aimed at helping people with visual impairments. This system allows the user to interact with the device by making simple static and dynamic hand…
Group interactions are essential to social functioning, yet effective engagement relies on the ability to recognize and interpret visual cues, making such engagement a significant challenge for blind people. In this paper, we investigate…
Operating a GUI through eyeball is a complex mechanism and not used as often as mouse or trackball. But there are situations where eye-mouse devices can play a tremendous role especially where the hands of the user are not available or busy…
This paper reports on a study that helps visually-impaired people to walk more confidently. The study hypothesizes that a smart cane that alerts visually-impaired people over obstacles in front could help them in walking with less accident.…
The sit-to-stand movement is a key feature for wide adoption of powered lower limb orthoses for patients with complete paraplegia. In this paper we study the control of the ascending phase of the sit-to-stand movement for a minimally…
Physical movement therapy is a crucial method of rehabilitation aimed at reinstating mobility among patients facing motor dysfunction due to neurological conditions or accidents. Such therapy is usually featured as patient-specific,…
The integration of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) into the realm of smart wheelchair (SW) technology signifies a notable leap forward in enhancing the mobility and autonomy of individuals with physical disabilities. BCIs are a technology…
Neurological disorders, including stroke, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease, generally lead to diminished upper extremity (UE) function, impacting individuals' independence and quality of life. Traditional…
Stroke represents the third cause of death and disability worldwide, and is recognised as a significant global health problem. A major challenge for stroke survivors is persistent hand dysfunction, which severely affects the ability to…
This work aims to tackle the intent recognition problem in Human-Robot Collaborative assembly scenarios. Precisely, we consider an interactive assembly of a wooden stool where the robot fetches the pieces in the correct order and the human…
In the study, the device of social robot was designed for visually impaired users, and along with a mobile application for provide functions to assist their lives. Both physical and mental conditions of visually impaired users are…
This paper explores the principles for transforming a quadrupedal robot into a guide robot for individuals with visual impairments. A guide robot has great potential to resolve the limited availability of guide animals that are accessible…
Many people living with neurological disorders, such as cerebral palsy, stroke, muscular dystrophy or dystonia experience upper limb impairments (muscle spasticity, loss of selective motor control, muscle weakness or tremors) and have…
