Abstract:
Robots have the potential to assist individuals with motor impairments and their caregivers. While tele-operation proves effective for in-home assistance, existing interfaces often lack accessibility for users with diverse motor impairments. We present a web-based tele-operation interface compatible with various assistive input devices, catering to a wide range of users. Emphasizing customization, we introduce a highly customizable web-based tele-operation interface for the Stretch RE2, ensuring adaptability to unique physical abilities and user preferences. Additionally, a mobile version extends support for remote caregiving. We propose a demonstration of both the web and mobile tele-operation interfaces.
