Recent advancements in control interface technology have made the use of end devices such as power wheelchairs easier for individuals with disabilities, especially persons with movement disorders. In this article, we discuss the current state of control interface technology and the devices available clinically for power wheelchair control. We also discuss our research on novel hardware and software approaches that are revolutionizing joystick interface technology and allowing more customizability for individual users with special needs and abilities. Finally, we discuss the future of control interfaces and what research gaps remain.
控制接口技术的最新进展使残疾人士,尤其是患有运动障碍的人,使用电动轮椅等终端设备变得更加容易。在本文中,我们讨论了控制接口技术的现状以及临床上可用于电动轮椅控制的设备。我们还讨论了我们在新型硬件和软件方法方面的研究,这些方法正在彻底改变操纵杆接口技术,并为有特殊需求和能力的个人用户提供更多的定制性。最后,我们讨论了控制接口的未来以及仍存在哪些研究空白。
