Georgia Tech Robotic Caregivers

This project presents novel robotic system for leading stretching exercise games for older adults with Parkinson’s Disease. It uses a Stretch robot that visually and verbally guides users through PT exercises. The robot’s soft end effector serves as a target that users repetitively reach towards and press with a hand, foot, or knee.

The project demonstrates the implementation of a tomato harvesting robot. The pipeline includes a perception stack that can identify and localize tomato clusters in the farm, a navigation system that can identify pots and track the farm rows as well as a manipulation stack that actuates a custom tool to perform cluster harvesting.

Georgia Tech Robotic Caregivers

This project created a system to help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) find misplaced objects. The system periodically goes around the home and takes photos of objects. When a person wants to find an object, they can ask the robot if it’s seen it.

We are providing Quadriplegic/Tetraplegic people with a lightweight, headmounted, interface for controlling a collaborative mobile manipulator such that they can perform a task of fetching an object in close proximity when the caregiver isn't around to help.

University of Washington Robotics Capstone

We chose to address the issue of Parkinson’s patients being separated from their walking assistance devices. We created a system where Stretch can be given auditory instruction to fetch the walker for the patient and position it appropriately in front of the patient.

The concept is a hands-free method to open bottles and tops using Stretch. The team conceptualized a gripping mechanism comprised of a vacuum and suction gripper to increase friction for twisting applications.
