PFI: BIC Affordable and Mobile Assistive Robots for Elderly Care

University of Pennsylvania·interventional·Posted Jun 21, 2016·Updated Mar 21, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Mobile Service Robot and Survey for Aging. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This project develops and tests the use of service robots to track health of the elderly over time. The objectives are to develop a low-cost mobile manipulator capable of a limited set of elder- relevant manipulation tasks (e.g. picking up dropped items). The investigators will visualize and model the use of the service robot during deployments at an elder care facility. Feedback from focus groups with elders and clinicians will inform the necessary engineering innovation.

Interventions

Mobile Service Robotdevice

The goal is to build a low-cost mobile service robot with an arm that will focus on the simple, but key, repetitive, data-driven tasks that robots do well. Rather than attempt to create a robot helper that mimics humans, the goal is to free human caregivers from the time-consuming tasks that robots can accomplish with facility, thereby allowing humans to focus on tasks that humans do best (i.e. human contact).
