Older Adults’ Perceptions of Supporting Factors of Trust in a Robot Care Provider
(Hindawi, 2018)The older adult population is increasing worldwide, leading to an increased need for care providers. An insufficient number of professional caregivers will lead to a demand for robot care providers to mitigate this need. ... -
Analysis Of The Effect Of A Rear Wall Grab Bar Configuration On The Fall Risk Associated With Toilet Transfers In Older Adults With Mobility Impairment
(RESNA/NCART, 2016)Twenty-three older adults were recruited for a two-hour in-home study. As a part of the process, the researchers asked questions regarding their process for toilet transfer, asked to provide ratings about toilet transfer ... -
Closing the Capacity-Ability Gap: Using Technology to Support Aging With Disability
(Gerontological Society of America, 2018)There is a critical need to develop supports for older adults who have a wide range of abilities, including those aging with long-term impairments. Without appropriate support, many individuals will be functioning below ... -
SmartBathroom: Developing a smart environment to study bathroom transfers
(RESNA, 2017)Individuals’ functional abilities change over time; they increase and then decrease over the lifespan, and in some they may fluctuate over the course of a day. While these fluctuations may not impact one’s ability to ... -
3D Human Pose Estimation on a Configurable Bed from a Pressure Image
(2018)Robots have the potential to assist people in bed, such as in healthcare settings, yet bedding materials like sheets and blankets can make observation of the human body difficult for robots. A pressure-sensing mat on a ... -
A Model that Predicts the Material Recognition Performance of Thermal Tactile Sensing
(2016)Tactile sensing can enable a robot to infer properties of its surroundings, such as the material of an object. Heat transfer based sensing can be used for material recognition due to differences in the thermal properties ... -
Understanding older adults’ perceptions of and attitudes towards exergames
(International Society for Gerontechnology, 2017)Purpose Maintaining physical activity is a key component of successful aging and has benefits for both physical and cognitive functioning in the older adult population. One promising method for engaging in physical activity ... -
Utility of a Mobile Route Planning App for People Aging with Disability
(IARIA, 2018)Mobility is a key contributor to an individual’s community living and participation. As a result, outdoor environmental barriers, such as uneven sidewalks and no curb cuts, play a crucial role in the development of disability ... -
A Qualitative Approach to Understanding User Needs for Aging with Disability
(2018)There is a growing population of adults with long-term sensory and mobility impairments who are aging into older adulthood. Little is known about the everyday challenges and accessibility issues experienced by these ... -
Universally Designed mHealth App for Individuals Aging with Multiple Sclerosis
(IARIA, 2018)Multiple Sclerosis (MS) presents with chronic symptoms that share many of the functional limitations associated with aging. Additionally, following the period of five years post-diagnosis a large number of individuals ... -
In-home and remote use of robotic body surrogates by people with profound motor deficits
(PLOS One, 2019-03)By controlling robots comparable to the human body, people with profound motor deficits could potentially perform a variety of physical tasks for themselves, improving their quality of life. The extent to which this is ... -
Multidimensional Capacitive Sensing for Robot-Assisted Dressing and Bathing
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-05-24)Robotic assistance presents an opportunity to benefit the lives of many people with physical disabilities, yet accurately sensing the human body and tracking human motion remain difficult for robots. We present a multidimensional ... -
