  • Focus group discussions with users to gather input on desired interaction methods.
  • Analysis of common environmental and spatial challenges impacting mobility.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified critical physical barriers: stairs, steps, curbs, doorways, uneven surfaces, weather, and crowded/confined spaces.
    • Users desire natural language interfaces (e.g., "I want a drink").
    • Users suggested high-level commands and image-based touchscreen interactions.

    Conclusions:

    • A fundamental understanding of human functions is crucial for designing effective intelligent assistive devices.
    • Overcoming mobility barriers requires innovative design that considers real-world environmental challenges.
    • Intuitive interfaces, including natural language and gesture-based controls, are essential for user acceptance and usability.
