Robotics: Publications and Resources

Summary: Our Disability Robotics, Exoskeletons, and Autonomous Vehicles database at Disabled World (DW) encompasses a comprehensive range of publications, including news articles, research studies, and informative reports. These documents focus on advancements in robotics, exoskeleton technology, and autonomous vehicles aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities. The database features topics such as guide-dog robots for the visually impaired, soft robotic wearables enhancing mobility for Parkinson's disease patients, and ethical debates surrounding self-driving cars. Additionally, it includes information on robotic dining devices, child exoskeletons for spinal muscular atrophy, and autonomous wheelchairs. This resource serves as an authoritative guide to the latest innovations in assistive technology.

Searching the Database: The data table below lists items that may have been updated or revised, but the table defaults to sorting by descending publication date; you can search and sort by clicking column headers (JavaScript required). Items in this category are also distributed via our Robotics RSS feed.
