Rapid advances in service robotics together with dramatic shifts in population demographics
have led to the notion that technology may be the answer to our eldercare problems. Robots …

The growing proportion of elderly people in society, together with recent advances in
robotics, makes the use of robots in elder care increasingly likely. We outline developments …

Mobile manipulators for indoor human environments can serve as versatile devices that
perform a variety of tasks, yet adoption of this technology has been limited. Reducing size …

Being able to detect and recognize human activities is essential for several applications,
including personal assistive robotics. In this paper, we perform detection and recognition of …

Being able to detect and recognize human activities is important for making personal
assistant robots useful in performing assistive tasks. The challenge is to develop a system …

We describe the architecture, algorithms, and experiments with HERB, an autonomous
mobile manipulator that performs useful manipulation tasks in the home. We present new …

We report a small dual cohort pilot study with traumatic spinal cord injured (SCI) subjects
designed to investigate the utility of a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm for these subjects …

Assistive mobile robots that autonomously manipulate objects within everyday settings have
the potential to improve the lives of the elderly, injured, and disabled. Within this paper, we …

As assistive robots become popular in factories and homes, there is greater need for natural,
multi-channel communication during collaborative manipulation tasks. Non-verbal …
