Design and User Evaluation of a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Assisted Transfer Device
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to describe the robotic assisted transfer device (RATD) and an initial focus group evaluation by end users. The purpose of the device is to aid in the transfers of people with disabilities to and from their electric powered wheelchair (EPW) onto other surfaces. The device can be used for both stand-pivot transfers and fully dependent transfers, where the person ...
متن کاملStability analysis of electrical powered wheelchair-mounted robotic-assisted transfer device.
The ability of people with disabilities to live in their homes and communities with maximal independence often hinges, at least in part, on their ability to transfer or be transferred by an assistant. Because of limited resources and the expense of personal care, robotic transfer assistance devices will likely be in great demand. An easy-to-use system for assisting with transfers, attachable to...
متن کاملUser evaluation of the intelligent robotic wheelchair
This chapter presents the user evaluation of the iRW. As described in previous chapters, functional tests have been conducted to demonstrate the advantage of the functions designed for the iRW. In this chapter, the user evaluation is used to confirm the design concept on the mobility assistance functions and the multiple-DOF seat adjustment mechanism of the iRW. Manual wheelchairs are the most ...
متن کاملRobotic Wheelchair Control Considering user Comfort - Modeling and Experimental Evaluation
This paper analyzes the comfort of wheelchair users when a sliding-mode trajectory-tracking controller is used. The transmission of the horizontal (fore-and-aft) vibration to the head-neck complex (HNC) in the seated human body may cause unacceptable discomfort and motion sickness. A double-inverted pendulum model with two degrees of freedom is considered as a model for the HNC. The user comfor...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of a Portable 1-DOF Robotic Device for Indentation Tests
There are many tactile devices for indentation examinations to measure mechanical properties of tissue. The purpose of this paper is to develop a portable indentation robotic device to show its usability for measuring the mechanical properties of a healthy abdominal tissue. These measurements will help to develop suitable mathematical models representing abdominal tissue. A 1-DOF portable robot...
