ABSTRACT
Robotic aids can perform repositioning, transferring, and personal care tasks and increase independence of persons who have reduced motor functionality. Our goal is to develop robotic aids by actively involving the target population, their caregivers, family members, and friends in the design process to increase user acceptability through participatory design. We conducted a survey to explore the needs for robotic aids and to evaluate the perceived pros and cons of prototypes that we have designed and built in simulation. Survey responses will help us to build a physical robotic system that will improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities and their caregivers.

Reframing Assistive Robots to Promote Successful Aging
Inaugural THRI IssueWe are living in an exciting time, as people are living longer, more active lives. This is reshaping how we think about aging. Rather than viewing aging as a problem to be fixed (i.e., a deficit model of aging), many aging researchers are viewing aging ...
