Title
User evaluation of service robotic arms based on ICF through interviews with people with upper-limb disability.
Abstract
The iArm is a service robot arm to help people with upper-limb disability in their daily lives. The iArm has been produced for about 10 years in the Netherlands. The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology has developed RAPUDA (Robotic Arm for Persons with Upper-limb DisAbility). The effectiveness of the RAPUDA was evaluated by conducting ergonomics experiments. We analyze the effectiveness of the robot arm in daily life through interviews with iArm users living in the Netherlands and with the participants in the human ergonomics experiments of RAPUDA. Effectiveness will be evaluated by the ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health).
