Assistive Robot for people with physical disabilities
- What sort of assistance do the physically disabled people need?
- To what extent can service robots available in the medium-term give this help cost-efficiently (that is economically viable and acceptable from side of the user)?
- What is the structure of such a robot?
- How should human and robot interact? (Human-Robot-Interface)
- To what extent will such machines be accepted by potential users eventually to replace or supplement human assistance?
- Are there more suitable tools?
These questions shall be examined with a prototypical service robot in the real surroundings of the physically disabled people. Both university partners possess the necessary scientific and interdisciplinary competencies of the service robotics and nursing-care services. As a great social facility, “Die Zieglerschen” provide their establishments, staff and access to the physically disabled people.
