Human Factors of Robots and Exoskeletons: Rehabilitation and Assistance
aims to study multimodal interactions between a human and a robot for the purpose of augmenting human capabilities, assisting disabled persons, increasing human performance and safety, and replacing human limbs. Exoskeletons focus on how to power the device, but it is also important to know how to power the human who is using it. For example, with gait analysis, we know that power varies across the hip, knee, and ankle joints. How the power is dispersed across these joints changes greatly depending on how fast the person is walking, if they are walking on a hill, or if they are climbing stairs.
Relearning lost functions in a patient depends on stimulation of desire to conquer the disability. The independent functioning of patients depends on intensity of treatment, task-specific exercises, active initiation of movements and motivation and feedback. Rehabilitation robots can assist with this task in multiple ways. Creating a gaming aspect to the rehabilitation process has brought a significant improvement in systems. The robot can nudge patients off balance to help them learn to recover. The rehabilitation and assistance robot market is growing dramatically and expected to reach billions of dollars by 2020. Market growth is a result of the effectiveness of robotic treatment of muscle difficulty.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to those listed here:
Innovative design concepts
Modeling and control of robot manipulators
Kinematics and control
Human-robot interaction problems
Human factors with respect to perception, motor skills, social aspect of interaction, and safety
Haptic robots: kinematics, dynamics, collision detection, and control
Teleoperation systems: architectures, control, virtual fixtures, and micro/nano manipulation
Soft robots based on variable impedance actuators
Medical robotics: surgical robotics, robot-supported diagnostics, micro-robots in the human body, and nanorobots at the cell level
Rehabilitation and assistive robotics: motor rehabilitation, exoskeletons, and robotic prosthetics
Exoskeletons and orthoses
Parallel-limb exoskeletons for load transfer
