What
Until now, assistive dressing robots, designed
to help an elderly person or a person with a
disability get dressed, have been created in the
laboratory as a one-armed machine, but research
has shown that this can be uncomfortable
for the person in care or impractical. To
tackle this problem, Jihong Zhu, a robotics researcher
at the University of York's Institute for
Safe Autonomy, is developing a two-armed assistive
dressing scheme inspired by caregivers
who have demonstrated that specific actions are required to reduce discomfort and distress to the individual in their
care. Zhu gathered important information on how caregivers moved during a dressing exercise, allowing a robot to
observe and learn from human movements and then, through AI, generate a model that mimics how human helpers
do their task. The team were also able to build algorithms that made the robotic arm flexible enough in its movements
for it to perform the pulling and lifting actions, but also be prevented from making an action by the gentle
touch of a human hand, without the robot resisting.

Why
This technology could be significant in the social care system to allow caregivers to spend less time on practical tasks
and more time on the health and mental well-being of individuals.
When
Trust is a significant part of this process, according to Zhu, and the next step in this research is testing the robot's
safety limitations and whether it will be accepted by those who need it most.
