Abstract :
This article discusses the use of AI in technologies for assisting the disabled and computer-vision techniques to read sign language and improve mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers. Those tools include screen readers and computer-navigation aids for the visually impaired, voice-to-text converters for the deaf, neural interfaces that interpret brain waves to help users operate their wheelchairs and walkers, and assistive gaming technology. Researchers are now also improving user interfaces for wheelchairs by adding environmental sensors, sign-language training software, and other applications.
