Engagement Study of an Integrated Rehabilitation Robotic Tablet-Based Gaming System
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-09)
Physical therapy is a common treatment for the rehabilitation of hemiparesis, or the weakness of one side of the body. However, a significant issue in the therapy process is that patients may struggle with motivation to ...
A Real-Time Model to Assess Student Engagement During Interaction with Intelligent Educational Agents
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-06)
Adaptive learning is an educational method that utilizes computers as an interactive teaching
device. Intelligent tutoring systems, or educational agents, use adaptive learning techniques to
adapt to each student’s needs ...
Building and Maintaining Trust Between Humans and Guidance Robots in an Emergency
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-03)
Emergency evacuations are dangerous situations for both evacuees and first responders. The use of automation in the
form of guidance robots can reduce the danger to humans by both aiding evacuees and assisting first ...
Real Conversion of GIS Contour Maps into Surface Disigital Elevation Models for Robotic Surveying

Non-contact versus contact-based sensing methodologies for in-home upper arm robotic rehabilitation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-06)
In recent years, robot-assisted rehabilitation has gained momentum as a viable means for improving outcomes for therapeutic interventions. Such therapy experiences allow controlled and repeatable trials and quantitative ...
Examining the learning effects of a low-cost haptic-based virtual reality simulator on laparoscopic cholecystectomy
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-06)
Virtual reality (VR) surgical training can be a potentially useful method for improving practicing surgical skills. However, the current literature on VR training has not discussed the efficacy of VR systems that are useful ...
Validation of Accuracy of the Super Pop VR™ Kinematic Assessment Methodology Using Markerless Versus Marker-Based Motion Capture Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016)
Therapists and clinicians have been combining virtual reality (VR) systems for rehabilitation purposes with motion capture systems to
accurately keep track of the users' movements and better analyze their
kinematic ...
TabAccess, a Wireless Controller for Tablet Accessibility for Individuals with Limited Upper-Body Mobility
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-02)
Over 3 million individuals in the US have a disability in their hands and/or forearms and thus have difficulties in effecting pinch and swipe gestures needed for tablet interaction. In this paper, a forearm mountable mobile ...
