Title
Implementing Robotic Platforms for Therapies Using Qualitative Factors in Mexico.
Abstract
In recent years, robotic platforms (RP) have been implemented to assist human beings during therapeutic treatments. As a result, successful experimental cases have been reported around the world. However, there is not enough information about them being implemented in developing countries where nobody is familiar with RPs. Moreover, there are economic, cultural, and technological factors that must be satisfied to provide therapy in rehabilitation centers or hospitals in Mexico. On the other hand, there are several RPs that are directly derivative without including those three factors, so occasionally they do not achieve good results in Mexico resulting in the exclusion of RP from the therapy. Nevertheless, in developing countries, it is urgent to implement successful RPs because the birth and death rates are swiftly incrementing; therefore, RPs could be an excellent alternative for increasing the number of therapies that can be provided at hospitals or rehabilitation centers where there are not enough therapists. As a result, implementing an effective RP in a developing country is related to economic, cultural, and technological factors, which cannot always be measured, to make decisions regarding its design. Therefore, a qualitative analysis that allows the presentation of a general guide to implementing RPs in developing countries such as Mexico is required. To assess the proposed qualitative guide, some RPs were implemented in Mexico City. Moreover, this robotic platform could be adapted for several tasks such as an education platform since this robotic platform could deal with end user needs.
