OBJECTIVES One of the objectives of the technological advance

of last years has been the development of devices that are alike and behave like human beings.

Karel Kapek had the idea of making up a robot. Its name came from Czech "robota“ and means slave in 1921 .

The design of devices and especially of robots to help disabled people begins to be effective at the end of last century. Other prototypes such as new wheelchairs are made up to help disabled people move themselves.

WITH THE HELP OF A REMOTE HUMAN ASSISTANT

a person with disability pilots a robotic mobility and manipulation system and opens a refrigerator door to retrieve a pre-prepared meal from home. Cooperative control leaves the person with disability in command, and the ability to use the capabilities of both the local pilot and remote human assistant enable safe, effective, and efficient operation of the robotic system in natural environments.

Derricks There are derricks, travelling cranes with wheels and derricks that circulate along rails, located on the ceilings or on the walls. The derricks allow people to move themselves and they are placed in different zones of a house (for example on the beds, in the shower, in the bath, which make disabled people raise or lay on their bed, to have a shower, and to go to their bathroom…

Faucets, soap-dishes and hand dryers

Faucets, soap-dishes and hand dryers can be controlled, placing ones’ hands under them, because there is a sensor, which makes the water of the faucet fall, use a dose of liquid soap, or activate a hand dryer.
