“…A wide range of ad hoc performance measures have been used to evaluate ARMs. Success rate and task completion time are measures used across a majority of studies (Bach et al, 1990;Buhler, 1994;Buhler, Hoelper, Hoyer, & Humann, 1995;Chen, Rahman, & Harwin, 1998;Cooper, Grindle, Vazquez, Xu, Wang, Candiotti, Chung, Salatin, Houston, Cooper, Teodorski, & Beach, 2012;Corker, Lyman, & Sheredos, 1979;Driessen, Kate, Liefhebber, Versluis, & van Woerden, 2005;Hammel, Hall, Lees, Leifer, van der Loos, Perkash, & Crigler, 1989;Kim, Wang, & Behal, 2012;Laffont, Biard, Chalubert, Delahoche, Marhic, Boyer, & Leroux, 2009;Maheu, Frappier, Archambault, & Routhier, 2011;Matsumoto et al, 2011;Römer, Stuyt, Peters, & van Woerden, 2004;Routhier & Archambault, 2010;Schuyler & Mahoney, 2000;Tijsma, Liefhebber, & Herder, 2005;Tsui & Yanco, 2007;Tsui, Kim, Behal, Kontak, & Yanco, 2011).

“…Trajectory data has been used to calculate the distance to time ratio and the efficiency of command and planning (Kim et al, 2012;Tsui & Yanco, 2007). Efficiency serves as an indicator of physical workload, and may be further measured by the number of control commands (Corker et al, 1979;Kim et al, 2012;Laffont et al, 2009) and mode switches (Tijsma et al, 2005;Römer et al, 2004) executed during control operation.…”

The research and development of assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) aims to enhance the upper-extremity daily functioning of individuals with disability. Resources continue to be invested, yet the field still lacks a standard framework to serve as a tool for the functional assessment and performance evaluation of ARMs. A review of the literature lends several suggestions from research in occupational therapy, rehabilitation robotics, and human-robot interaction. Performance assessments are often used during rehabilitation intervention by occupational therapists to evaluate a client's functional performance. Similarly, such assessments should be developed to make predictions regarding how ARM performance in a clinical setting may generalize to task execution throughout daily living. However, ergonomics and environmental differences have largely been ignored in past research. Additional insights from the literature provide suggestions for a common set of coding definitions, and a framework to organize the ad hoc performance measures observed across ARM studies.

“…The Manus ARM was used average 2 hours/day (0.7-1.8 hours). 32,33 A vision-based interface with autonomous planning transfers the loading in positioning and fine adjustment to the computer. A study by TNO Science & Industry, The Netherlands, evaluated four experienced Manus users with the pre-and post-test in retrieving a colored cup located at a location not seen by the users.…”

Context:The user interface development of assistive robotic manipulators can be traced back to the 1960s. Studies include kinematic designs, cost-efficiency, user experience involvements, and performance evaluation. This paper is to review studies conducted with clinical trials using activities of daily living (ADLs) tasks to evaluate performance categorized using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) frameworks, in order to give the scope of current research and provide suggestions for future studies. Methods: We conducted a literature search of assistive robotic manipulators from 1970 to 2012 in PubMed, Google Scholar, and University of Pittsburgh Library System -PITTCat. Results: Twenty relevant studies were identified. Conclusion: Studies were separated into two broad categories: user task preferences and user-interface performance measurements of commercialized and developing assistive robotic manipulators. The outcome measures and ICF codes associated with the performance evaluations are reported. Suggestions for the future studies include (1) standardized ADL tasks for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of task efficiency and performance to build comparable measures between research groups, (2) studies relevant to the tasks from user priority lists and ICF codes, and (3) appropriate clinical functional assessment tests with consideration of constraints in assistive robotic manipulator user interfaces. In addition, these outcome measures will help physicians and therapists build standardized tools while prescribing and assessing assistive robotic manipulators.

“…Therefore, for instance, a personal assistive mobility device is strongly desired to keep the elderly independent. Recent advances in robot technology have made it possible to design a wide variety of assistive devices [1][2][3]. Specifically, robotic walking aids have been developed for the elderly and/or lower limb disabled people.…”

This paper presents the design and control of a novel assistive robotic walker that we call "JAIST active robotic walker (JARoW)". JARoW is developed to provide potential users with sufficient ambulatory capability in an efficient, cost-effective way. Specifically, our focus is placed on how to allow easier maneuverability by creating a natural interface between the user and JARoW. For the purpose, we develop a rotating infrared sensor to detect the user's lower limb movement. The implementation details of the JARoW control algorithms based on the sensor measurements are explained, and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is verified through experiments. Our results confirmed that JARoW can autonomously adjust its motion direction and velocity according to the user's walking behavior without requiring any additional user effort.
