摘要

Mobile manipulation aids aim at enabling people with motor impairments to physically interact with their environment. To facilitate the operation of such systems, a variety of components, such as suitable user interfaces and intuitive control of the system, play a crucial role. In this article, we validate our highly integrated assistive robot EDAN, operated by an interface based on bioelectrical signals, combined with shared control and a whole-body coordination of the entire system, through a case study involving people with motor impairments to accomplish real-world activities. Three individuals with amyotrophia were able to perform a range of everyday tasks, including pouring a drink, opening and driving through a door, and opening a drawer. Rather than considering these tasks in isolation, our study focuses on the continuous execution of long sequences of realistic everyday tasks.
