Robot’s view helps people with profound motor impairment

People with profound motor impairments could feed themselves and perform routine personal care with an augmented reality interface that operates an assistive humanoid robot. The web-based interface is said to display a robot’s eye view of surroundings to help users interact with the world through the machine.
The system could help make sophisticated robots more useful to people who do not have experience operating complex robotic systems. Study participants interacted with the robot interface using standard assistive computer access technologies - such as eye trackers and head trackers - that they were already using to control their PCs.
