From Pain to Design Recommendations for Assistive Robotics

Abstract

Assistive technologies are vital for individuals with physical limitations, and understanding the diverse impact of physical pain is crucial for designing effective assistive robotic solutions. Through an iterative study, we aim to develop comprehensive design recommendations that cover personalization, concealment, compatibility, ease of use, preventive measures, skin-friendliness, affordability, adaptability, and multimodal features. These recommendations prioritize user experience and acceptance, ultimately contributing to innovative and user-centric assistive robotic technologies.
