Abstract:

Assistive technology (AT) refers to any device, equipment and/or piece enabling children with developmental disabilities with self-determination and independence towards the outside world. Within this framework, microswitches represent electronic devices ensuring children with severe to profound developmental and/or multiple disabilities (i.e. a combination of intellectual, sensorial and motor impairments) to the independent access to preferred stimuli. This paper provides a selective overview of some illustrative examples available in the last fifteen years (i.e. 2000-2015) of the empirical e

Abstract:

Intelligent assistive technology (IAT) refers to the integration of existing assistive technology with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and advanced environment interfaces. AI can be used to integrate a great deal of sensor information, to amplify primary intent as well as to conduct background tasks. Through the application of AI we believe that we can level the playing field for persons with disabilities and maximize existing and future capabilities of assistive devices. By beginning a dialogue now between the developers of AI and assistive technology, IAT can become a reality.

Abstract:

Assistive technologies promise improved functionality for people with disabilities, but their use and adoption are complicated. Previous research has identified several reasons why people with disabilities choose to abandon their assistive technologies. However, less is known about the adoption of assistive technologies that are permanent and user perceptions of these technologies. This study builds upon existing assistive technology, disability, identity, and stigma literature by examining the role of perceptions of cochlear implants, an assistive technology that permanently renders an invisi

Abstract:

A wide range of obstacles faced by people with disabilities, such as visual impairment, motor disability, and communication difficulties, have shown significant promise for being addressed by computer vision. The state-of-the-art in computer vision-based assistive technology is examined in this report along with major future research topics and obstacles. In particular, this study explores how computer vision can be used for object recognition, navigation, facial recognition, sign language interpretation, and gesture-based control interfaces. It also discusses the benefits and drawbacks of var

Abstract:

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest growing neurological disease worldwide with more than 8.5 million people diagnosed. Assistive technologies for people with PD support the user to maximize independence. The purpose of this integrative literature review was to critique and synthesize the literature on the impact of assistive technologies on quality of life of home-dwelling individuals with PD. A literature search for studies on assistive technologies for people with PD with a primary outcome measure of quality of life was conducted. Of 156 articles screened for eligibility, 6 met selectio

Abstract:

This study explores the emotional and psychological impact of assistive technologies on adolescents with visual impairments. A qualitative research design was employed using semi-structured interviews with 20 adolescents with visual impairments recruited through online platforms. Theoretical saturation guided data collection, and NVivo software was used for thematic analysis. The study examined participants’ emotional responses, psychological adaptation, and the social and educational impacts of assistive technology use. The results revealed that while assistive technologies enhanced empowerme

Abstract:

Mechatronics is one of the most powerful technologies to overcome various industrial and social problems arising in the 21st century, for example, realization of the recycle manufacturing system, global consideration on the environment, development of human-oriented technology. The 3rd International Conference on Advanced Mechatronics (ICAM’98)-Innovative Mechatronics for the 21st Century hass been held in Okayama August 3-6, 1998, following the 1st and 2nd held in Tokyo in 1988 and 1993, sponsored by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. The purpose of the conference is to promote the cr

Abstract:

Technologies for supporting a healthy lifestyle for the elderly and disabled are needed to keep them mentally and physically independent and to help them take part in society. The issue of a rapidly aging society has, in fact, become a major national problem. This special issue focuses on assistive device technologies for the elderly and disabled. Contributed and invited papers have been carefully reviewed by journal referees and 13 papers selected for publication in the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics Special Issue on Human Assistive Technologies (Vol. 14, No. 6). The first 4 papers, by
