Abstract

Robots are better equipped to communicate through movement than through spoken language. Herein we propose a method of specifications of tasks for disabled people in terms of robotics service. This helps to implement an automatically working system that will replace the efforts of human so disabled people could afford their activities on their own. Our assistive robot finds all end users to be determined about the situations that they can do things on their own without other human interference. The proposed module depends on different phases with an economically reasonable solution that is implemented as a semi-autonomous control system. The user interface incorporates several functions that include navigation of the robot, target selection for picking and placing an object, obstacle detection and self-following assistive robot. This method evaluates the usability of end-users and gets to know about the user’s interaction and awareness. Assistive robot ensures that no environmental assessments were affected and makes sure of this robot being user-friendly.
