ABSTRACT
We describe the progress in implementing a vision based robotic assist device to facilitate Activities of Daily Living (ADL) tasks for a class of users with motor disabilities. The goal of the research is to reduce time to task completion and cognitive burden for users interacting with an unstructured environment via a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm (WMRA). A developed robot system is tested with five healthy subjects to assess its usefulness.

A powered lower limb orthosis for gait assistance in incomplete spinal cord injured subjects
ISABEL '11: Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Applied Sciences in Biomedical and Communication TechnologiesThe paper deals with the mechanical design of a new active stance-control knee-ankle-foot orthosis (SCKAFO). The orthosis is intended to provide gait assistance for incomplete spinal cord injured patients that present functional hip muscles, but ...
On Muscle Activation for Improving Robotic Rehabilitation after Spinal Cord Injury
2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has recently enabled humans with motor complete spinal cord injury (SCI) to independently stand and recover some lost autonomic function. However, the nature of the recovered motor activity and the interplay between SCS and ...
Customizing Tele-Operation Interfaces of Assistive Robots at Home with Occupational Therapists
HRI '24: Companion of the 2024 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionTo assist individuals with motor limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs), robots need to adapt to their user's unique needs, preferences, and environments. In this work we developed an Accessible Teleop Toolkit for the Stretch RE2 robot, ...
