To support disabled persons with less muscle strength like muscular dystrophy patients, a single switch and a scanning menu panel is introduced to input method for the manipulator control. The iArm manipulator and its simulator are connected to evaluate the input performance. The evaluation task is the handling of pegs on the pegboard with the manipulator. Muscle dystrophy patients tested our interface...
To support disabled people with less muscle strength like muscular dystrophy patients, we are developing simple robot arm systems. In this paper, we report the improvements of the inter-face part of the system. The user can change the buttons' position on the input panel only with the single switch. The user can let the buttons on the input panel scan with single click and can select a button with...
We are developing a manipulator system in order to support disabled people with less muscle strength such as muscular dystrophy patients. Such a manipulator should have an easy interface for the users to control it. In this paper, we report on the construction of the user interface of the system using RT-middleware. RT-middleware is an open software platform for robot systems. Therefore other interface...
