Towards an Assistive Robot that Autonomously Performs Bed Baths for Patient Hygiene
For more information, please visit: www.hsi.gatech.edu This work has been presented at IEEE/RSJ 2010 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems at Taipei, Taiwan. This video shows Cody, a human-scale robot, with a compliant arm performing wiping motions that are involved in bed baths. An interface enables a human operator to select an area to clean, after which the robot autonomously performs a wiping motion using equilibrium point control. We tested the robot’s performance by commanding the robot to wipe off a 1-inch square area of debris placed on the surface of the upper arm, forearm, thigh, and leg of a single human subject.

EL-E executing actions triggered by a user in a sample object fetching application. In this video, Ms. Norma Margeson, an ALS patient sitting on her wheelchair, first commanded EL-E to grasp a cordless phone on the floor, transport it, deliver to her hand, and hold it for her to grasp. This video was filmed on October 28th, 2008 with Norma’s consent.
