The Helping Hand: An Assistive Manipulation Framework Using Augmented Reality and a Tongue-Drive.
A human-in-the-loop system is proposed to enable collaborative manipulation tasks for person with physical disabilities. Studies have shown the cognitive burden of subject is reduced with increased autonomy of assistive system. Our framework is aim to communicate high-level intent from subject and generate desired manipulations. We elaborate a framework by incorporating a tongue-drive system and a 7 DoF robotic arm through an virtual interface. The assistive system processes sensor input for interpreting users environment, and the subject provides an ego-centric visual feedback via interface to guide action loop for achieving the tasks. Extensive experiments are performed on our framework and we show our coupled feedback loops is able to effectively simplify complex manipulation tasks.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
