  • Abstract
    This article presents the development of a new concept for an assistive robotic device that can help people as needed, considering their residual physical and cognitive abilities, and, at the same time, increase their cognitive and physical abilities in activities of daily living (ADLs), such as drinking, cooking, eating, personal hygiene, and grooming.
