Abstract:
A robotic workstation for the severely physically disabled is being developed. The prototype system consists of a commercially available arm mounted in a workstation set up for various manipulative tasks. This system has been tested with eight disabled users in a hospital situation and is to undergo evaluation in the homes of disabled users. Based on experience with this system, a new arm has been designed and will be built into a redesigned workstation.
