Global demographic changes have resulted in a growing technological demand to meet the
arisen social needs. In particular, the increasingly ageing population requires assistive …

Proactive robot assistance enables a robot to anticipate and provide for a user's needs
without being explicitly asked. We formulate proactive assistance as the problem of the robot …

Indoor localization is essential for robotic navigation by using different sensors on board.
Specifically, visual localization with a single camera is a great challenge in highly symmetric …

In this work, we propose the first study of a technical validation of an assistive robotic
platform, which has been designed to assist people with neurodevelopmental disorders. The …

The use of robots for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) research has been witnessed in all of
its stages: diagnosis and therapy. This review aims to focus on summarizing the literature …

The application of robotic devices is being used as Assistive Technology (AT) for improving
rehabilitation interventions. The purposes of this research were to (1) test a novel low-cost …

Studies show that users value proactivity in robotic assistance, but mobile manipulators
today require exact task descriptions, and can proactively assist only the user's ongoing …

Aims To determine the psychosocial impact of assistive technology (AT) based on robotics
and artificial intelligence in the life of people with disabilities. Background The best match …

This paper introduces a" proof of concept" for a new approach to assistive robotics,
integrating edge computing with Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computer vision …

Assistive technologies are vital for individuals with physical limitations, and understanding
the diverse impact of physical pain is crucial for designing effective assistive robotic …
