Background:

Assistive robotic manipulators offer significant potential for enhancing independence in individuals with motor impairments.
Controlling high-degree-of-freedom (DoF) robotic arms presents a challenge due to the mismatch between the robot's complexity and typical human control interfaces, especially for users with motor disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a shared-control framework enabling individuals with motor impairments to effectively control high-DoF assistive robotic manipulators.
To leverage residual motion capabilities via a Body-Machine Interface (BMI) for intuitive robotic arm control.

Main Methods:

A Body-Machine Interface (BMI) was employed to capture residual motion capabilities and generate low-dimensional control signals.
A shared-control framework was implemented, distributing control authority between the human user and robot autonomy.
A user study involving 6 participants performing 144 manipulation task trials was conducted to evaluate the system's effectiveness.

Main Results:

The developed BMI and shared-control system facilitated effective control of high-DoF robotic arms by individuals with motor impairments.
A 100% success rate was achieved across all 144 trials of the manipulation task performed by participants.
The system demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing residual movements for complex assistive robotic tasks.

Conclusions:

The proposed shared-control framework, integrated with a BMI, significantly enhances the usability of assistive robotic manipulators for individuals with motor impairments.
This approach offers a promising solution for restoring functional independence and improving the quality of life for people with motor disabilities.
Future research can explore expanding the range of tasks and improving the intuitiveness of BMI control for assistive robotics.
