Robotic arm gets 'Eyes' to help people with spinal cord injuries regain independence
NCT ID NCT04323449
Summary
This study tested a new vision-guided control system for a robotic arm mounted on a wheelchair. The goal was to see if this system could help people with spinal cord injuries perform everyday tasks, like picking up a glass of water, more easily and quickly than using a standard joystick. Researchers compared the new system to the standard method by having 21 participants complete two common tasks and then asked them about their experience.
