PHD Thesis – Personalizing Assistive Robots: A Reconfigurable and Adaptable Shared-autonomy Framework and its Applications
In this PhD thesis authored by Santiago Iregui, a novel approach to personalised assistive robotics is presented to improve the quality of life of people with motor impairments, particularly those resulting from spinal cord injuries. Recognising that fully autonomous systems may diminish users’ sense of control, the work advances a shared-control paradigm through a constraint-based […]
