Assistive technologies (AT) enable people with disabilities to perform activities of daily living more independently, have greater access to community and healthcare services, and be more productive performing educational and/or employment tasks. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with various agents, including electronics, robotics, and software, has revolutionized AT, resulting in groundbreaking technologies such as mind-controlled exoskeletons, bionic limbs, intelligent wheelchairs, and smart home assistants. This article provides a review of various AI techniques that have helped those with physical disabilities, including brain-computer interfaces, computer vision, natural language processing, and human-computer interaction. The current challenges and future directions for AI-powered advanced technologies are also addressed.
辅助技术 (AT) 使残疾人士能够更独立地进行日常生活活动，更方便地获得社区和医疗保健服务，并在完成教育和/或就业任务时更具生产力。将人工智能 (AI) 与各种代理（包括电子、机器人和软件）集成在一起，彻底改变了辅助技术，从而产生了开创性的技术，如脑控外骨骼、仿生肢体、智能轮椅和智能家居助手。本文综述了各种帮助身体残疾人士的人工智能技术，包括脑机接口、计算机视觉、自然语言处理和人机交互。还讨论了人工智能驱动的先进技术目前面临的挑战和未来的发展方向。
