In this work, an innovative robotic solution for human care and assistance is presented. Our main objective is to develop a new concept of portable robot able to support the elderly and those people with different levels of disability during the execution of daily tasks, such as washing their face or hands, brushing their teeth, combing their hair, eating, drinking, and bringing objects closer, among others. Our prototype, ASIBOT, is a five degrees of freedom (DOF) self-contained manipulator that includes the control system and electronic equipment on board. The main advantages of the robot are its light weight, about 11 kg for a 1.3 m reach, its autonomy, and its ability to move between different points (docking stations) of the room or from the environment to a wheelchair and vice versa, which facilitates its supportive functions. The functional evaluation of ASIBOT is addressed in this paper. For this purpose the robotic arm is tested in different experiments with disabled people, gathering and discussing the results according to a methodology that allows us to assess users' satisfaction.

Asibot功能评估：残疾人便携式机器人系统的新方法

在这项工作中，提出了一种用于人类护理和援助的创新型机器人解决方案。我们的主要目标是开发一种新概念的便携式机器人，该机器人能够在执行日常任务（例如洗脸或洗手，刷牙，梳理头发，饮食，喝酒，使物体靠近等等。我们的原型ASIBOT是一种五自由度（DOF）完备的机械手，其中包括船上的控制系统和电子设备。机器人的主要优点是重量轻，到达1.3 m时约为11千克，自主性以及在房间的不同点（对接站）之间或从环境到轮椅的移动能力，反之亦然。促进其支持功能。本文讨论了ASIBOT的功能评估。为此，在不同的实验中对残疾人进行了机械臂测试，并根据一种使我们能够评估用户满意度的方法来收集和讨论结果。
