Interactive robot systems are under active investigation as aids for people with impaired manipulating ability. Under the direction of a disabled operator, a robot can manipulate objects, thereby increasing the independence of the operator in home, school and work activities. This paper describes a high-level control language CURL developed to facilitate communication between a disabled operator and the task environment. CURL is a Windows-based application. Interactive robotics requires a different approach from mainstream robotics where humans are kept out of the robot's work area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
