Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Disabil Rehabil Assist Technol 6:338-46. 2011..To determine whether low-cost robots provide a means by which children with severe disabilities can demonstrate understanding of cognitive concepts...
School-based use of a robotic arm system by children with disabilitiesAlbert M Cook
Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
IEEE Trans Neural Syst Rehabil Eng 13:452-60. 2005..They also felt that the robotic system accuracy should be increased so that teacher assistance is not necessary to complete the task...
Development of a robotic device for facilitating learning by children who have severe disabilitiesAlbert M Cook
Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2G4, Canada
IEEE Trans Neural Syst Rehabil Eng 10:178-87. 2002..Children using this system engaged in three-step sequential activities and were highly responsive to the robotic tasks. This was in marked contrast to other interventions using toys and computer games...
