    Autobed: A Web-Controlled Robotic Bed
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-02) Grice, Phillip M. ; Chitalia, Yash ; Rich, Megan ; Clever, Henry ; Evans, Henry ; Evans, Jane ; Kemp, Charles C.
    We (the Healthcare Robotics Lab at Georgia Tech) have developed an additional module for an Invacare fully electric hospital bed (Model 5410IVC) so that the bed can be controlled from a web-based interface. This module can be easily plugged between the hand control and the Invacare bed, without having to modify any existing hardware on the bed. We call a bed so modified an 'Autobed.' With this feature, users who are unable to operate the standard bed controls, but can access a web browser, are able to position the bed by themselves without having to rely on a caregiver (for example, patients with quadriplegia). This page describes how to make the Autobed module using relatively inexpensive, commercially available hardware. This document is a representation of the content provided at http://hsi.gatech.edu/hrl/project_autobed_v2.shtml as of February 15th, 2016, and is intended to create a lasting, citable, and archival copy of this material, which details the design and instructions for building the 'Autobed' device.

    A Robotic System for Autonomous Medication and Water Delivery
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012) Emeli, Victor ; Wagner, Alan R. ; Kemp, Charles C.
    Poor medication adherence and dehydration are well-documented challenges for older adults living independently that lead to reduced quality of life. Robotic delivery of pills and water in the home could potentially improve medication adherence and hydration for older adults by providing timely, reliable, and convenient delivery. In this technical report, we present a prototype multi-robot system that can autonomously deliver pills and water to a person in a realistic home environment. The system consists of a mobile robot with a tray, a stationary dispensing robot, and a smartphone carried by the user. Within this paper, we discuss the opportunity to improve quality of life, describe our robotic system, and convey results from an experimental evaluation of the system’s delivery performance.

    A List of Household Objects for Robotic Retrieval Prioritized by People with ALS (Version 092008)
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-09) Choi, Young Sang ; Deyle, Travis ; Kemp, Charles C.
    This technical report is designed to serve as a citable reference for the original prioritized object list that the Healthcare Robotics Lab at Georgia Tech released on its website in September of 2008. It is also expected to serve as the primary citable reference for the research associated with this list until the publication of a detailed, peer-reviewed paper. The original prioritized list of object classes resulted from a needs assessment involving 8 motor-impaired patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and targeted, in-person interviews of 15 motor-impaired ALS patients. All of these participants were drawn from the Emory ALS Center. The prioritized object list consists of 43 object classes ranked by how important the participants considered each class to be for retrieval by an assistive robot. We intend for this list to be used by researchers to inform the design and benchmarking of robotic systems, especially research related to autonomous mobile manipulation.
