Eye-Gaze Controlled Robotic Arm for Persons with Speech and Motor Impairment

An eye-gaze controlled robotic arm designed for PicknPlace and Reachability Task. Users with severe speech and motor impairment were able to pick and place objects using the live video see-through user interface for controlling a DIY robotic arm. The users were able to move the Dobot Magician robotic arm to reach the target within significant time at par with the able-bodied users.

Gaze Controlled Safe HRI for SSMI

Ensuring the safety of human participants in a human-robot interaction system involving the interaction of persons with a different range of abilities with a table top robotic arm.  The proposed system always monitors the human inside its workspace and avoids any possible collision with the human hand by using a naïve geometric modified path algorithm.

Comparing Two Safe Distance Maintenance Algorithms for a Gaze Controlled HRI involving users with SSMI

An intelligent algorithm for ensuring safe human-robot interaction considering the uncertainty in robot movement is proposed. The work presents a comparative analysis of two collision avoidance algorithms developed for a human-robot interface meant to be used by persons with severe speech and motor impairment.
