Multimodal body-machine interfaces play an important role in providing severely impaired with interaction solutions that can adapt to their functional capacities [1]. This demonstration will allow the visitors to experience an intuitive and wearable control interface, designed for people with upper body disabilities, that translates head motion, shoulder elevation and surface electromyography into appropriate commands for controlling assistive devices, like robotic arms. Visitors will be invited to interact with JACO using the proposed interface, a 6 degree-of-freedom assistive robotic arm developed by Kinova Robotics, within a control task that will consist in moving items or stack objects at specific locations on a table. |
