Abstrakt: Assistive technologies (AT) enable people with disabilities to perform activities of daily living more independently, have greater access to community and healthcare services, and be more productive performing educational and/or employment tasks. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with various agents, including electronics, robotics, and software, has revolutionized AT, resulting in groundbreaking technologies such as mind-controlled exoskeletons, bionic limbs, intelligent wheelchairs, and smart home assistants. This article provides a review of various AI techniques that have helped those with physical disabilities, including brain–computer interfaces, computer vision, natural language processing, and human–computer interaction. The current challenges and future directions for AI-powered advanced technologies are also addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
