The application of
robotics to assistive technology has the potential to precipitate individual
users’ ability to regain independence in accomplishing the activities of daily
living (ADLs) and/or returning to the workforce. At the same time, both real
and perceived barriers exist to broader acceptance of robotic technology, which
might include a host of physical and mental barriers. Our work is targeted at
both understanding how potential users interact with robotic devices,
physically and cognitively, and developing novel robotic instruments and
technologies to better integrate in the users home and workplace.
