Robot 'eyes' aid people with profound motor impairments - Futurity

An interface system with augmented reality technology could help people with profound motor impairments operate a humanoid robot to feed themselves and perform routine personal care tasks. Those tasks might include feeding and performing routine personal care tasks such as scratching an itch and applying skin lotion. The web-based interface displays a "robot's eye view" of surroundings to help users interact with the world through the machine. Described in PLOS ONE, the system could help make sophisticated robots more useful to people who don't have experience operating complex robotic systems.
