A handicap assistive robot is a device or tool that can process sensory information, sense, perform actions that help people with disabilities & older adults in the way of their daily living such as bathing & showering, food preparation & eating, taking medications, shopping, dressing, personal cleanliness & grooming, housework, communicating, child rearing, working, playing, engaging in religious observances, managing money, vacationing, exercising, relaxing, reading, socializing, mobility and education etc.
According to study, “Global Handicap Assistive Robots Market by Product Type, Body, Mobility and Region 2016-2025” some of the major companies that are currently operating in the global handicap assistive robots market are Assistive Innovations Corp., Cyberdyne, Inc., Bioness Inc., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Instead Technologies, Ekso Bionics, Instead Technologies Ltd., Focal Meditech, Smart Rehab, Kinestica, InTouch Health, Panasonic Corporation (Activelink), Aethon Ltd., Reha Stim, Medirobotics, Invacare Corporation, Kinetic Muscles, Intuitive Surgical, Syn Touch, Rehab-Robotics Company Limited, MediTouch, TopChair SAS, Gecko Systems, YouRehab, Touch Bionics, Honda, Kinova Robotics, Rehab Robotics, ReWalk Robotics Ltd. All these vendors of the market provide their products both through lease and purchase. The leasing option is gaining distinction across end-users, primarily due to the cost factor & the possibility of replacing the product in the wake of new manufactured goods introduction in the market.
Based on type, assistive robot market is segmented into early handicap assistive robots, Desktop Vocational Assistant Robot (DeVAR) & professional Vocational Assistant Robot (ProVAR) and VA / Stanford MoVar assistive robot etc. Based on product type, market is segmented into assistive robotic devices, robotic wheelchairs and mobility aid exoskeletons. Based on robot mobility, market can be segmented into mobile robot mobility and fixed base robot’s mobility. Mobile robots are further defined as wheelchair and autonomous. Fixed base robots are defined as bedside (medicine, food & health) and workstation. Based on function, market is segmented into upper extremity robots and lower extremity robots.
Some of the major projects associated are VAHM (Vehicule Autonome pour Handicape Moteur) is a project of French acronym for autonomous vehicle for people with motor disabilities. This project is proposed an autonomous wheelchair to help the disabled people who are unpractical to drive a usual powered wheelchair. Additionally, the Sensor Aided Intelligent Wheelchair Navigation System or SENARIO project adding to an intelligent or smart wheelchair navigation system that provides semi-autonomous control modes and fully autonomous control modes. In semi-autonomous control mode, the user’s command can override by creating from the self-directed control mode, and the users can drive the wheelchair with a specified path in a particular environment. In addition, the fully autonomous control mode adds to the ability of tolerating the user’s command.
During 2017-2025, global use of handicap assistive robots is expected to reach an increasing market value of US $3.4 billion. It predicts the global market to develop rapidly driven by a fast adoption of all types of robots for instance mobility-aid exoskeleton systems, robotic wheelchairs, and other robotic assistance devices across the globe. Over the years, rehab patients and disabled people have seen aggressive advancement solutions to facilitate the daily lives and mobility.
