This review explores recent trends in the development and evaluation of assistive robotic arms, both prosthetic and externally mounted. Evaluations have been organized according to the CATOR taxonomy of assistive device outcomes, which takes into consideration device effectiveness, social significance, and impact on subjective well-being. Questions that have informed the review include: (1) Are robotic arms being comprehensively evaluated along axes of the CATOR taxonomy? (2) Are definitions of effectiveness in accordance with the priorities of users? (3) What gaps in robotic arm evaluation exist, and how might these best be addressed? (4) What further advances can be expected in the next 15 years? Results highlight the need for increased standardization of evaluation methods, increased emphasis on the social significance (i.e., social cost) of devices, and increased emphasis on device impact on quality of life. Several open areas for future research, in terms of both device evaluation and device development, are also discussed.
本综述探讨了假肢和外部安装的辅助机器人手臂在开发和评估方面的最新趋势。评估是根据辅助设备结果的CATOR分类法进行组织的，该分类法考虑了设备有效性、社会意义以及对主观幸福感的影响。为本次综述提供信息的问题包括：（1）是否正在沿着CATOR分类法的各个轴对机器人手臂进行全面评估？（2）有效性的定义是否符合用户的优先事项？（3）机器人手臂评估存在哪些差距，如何最好地解决这些差距？（4）未来15年有望取得哪些进一步进展？结果强调了提高评估方法标准化的必要性，更加重视设备的社会意义（即社会成本），以及更加重视设备对生活质量的影响。还讨论了在设备评估和设备开发方面未来研究的几个开放领域。
