The user interface development of assistive robotic manipulators can be traced back to the 1960s. Studies include kinematic designs, cost-efficiency, user experience involvements, and performance evaluation. This paper is to review studies conducted with clinical trials using activities of daily living (ADLs) tasks to evaluate performance categorized using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) frameworks, in order to give the scope of current research and provide suggestions for future studies.
We conducted a literature search of assistive robotic manipulators from 1970 to 2012 in PubMed, Google Scholar, and University of Pittsburgh Library System - PITTCat.
Twenty relevant studies were identified.
Studies were separated into two broad categories: user task preferences and user-interface performance measurements of commercialized and developing assistive robotic manipulators. The outcome measures and ICF codes associated with the performance evaluations are reported. Suggestions for the future studies include (1) standardized ADL tasks for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of task efficiency and performance to build comparable measures between research groups, (2) studies relevant to the tasks from user priority lists and ICF codes, and (3) appropriate clinical functional assessment tests with consideration of constraints in assistive robotic manipulator user interfaces. In addition, these outcome measures will help physicians and therapists build standardized tools while prescribing and assessing assistive robotic manipulators.
辅助机器人操纵器的用户界面开发可追溯到20世纪60年代。研究包括运动学设计、成本效益、用户体验参与度和性能评估。本文旨在回顾使用日常生活活动（ADL）任务进行临床试验的研究，这些研究使用国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）框架对性能进行分类，以便给出当前研究的范围并为未来研究提供建议。
我们在PubMed、谷歌学术和匹兹堡大学图书馆系统 - PITTCat中对1970年至2012年的辅助机器人操纵器进行了文献检索。
确定了20项相关研究。
研究分为两大类：商业化和正在开发的辅助机器人操纵器的用户任务偏好和用户界面性能测量。报告了与性能评估相关的结果测量指标和ICF编码。对未来研究的建议包括：（1）制定标准化的ADL任务，用于对任务效率和性能进行定量和定性评估，以建立研究组之间可比的测量指标；（2）开展与用户优先级列表和ICF编码中的任务相关的研究；（3）考虑辅助机器人操纵器用户界面中的限制因素，进行适当的临床功能评估测试。此外，这些结果测量指标将有助于医生和治疗师在开处方和评估辅助机器人操纵器时构建标准化工具。
