Technology and disability. The enrichment of human rights

Our primary aim is to analyze the impacts of technology on people with disability. Persons with a disability can be encouraged to fully engage in society by using specific types of technology (medical devices that target particular limitations). Many experts argue that medical exoskeletons or wheelchairs with motorized stand-up function provide people with severe disabilities with new possibilities. Impact of these opportunities is enormous and they directly influence the quality of life. Philosophers Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum in their "capability approach" assume that any form of impact that enables a person to pursue what they deem as essential influences quality of their life. Similarly, Eva Feder Kittay (philosopher) argues that care for the elderly, disabled, or children is crucial for any society. These authors will provide a philosophical basis for our arguments for the enrichment of human rights through technology for persons with disabilities.

Evaluation of user interface performing a DVZ-fuzzy logic pilot for powered wheelchair

This paper presents the preliminary tests of an adapted user interface that performs an hybrid fuzzy-Deformable Virtual Zone(DVZ) pilot. The proposed concept uses a safely guidance algorithm for the powered wheelchair user and a laser range sensor to avoid collision. An adapted user interface is developed so that the accessibility and the mobility of disable or aged people especially those suffering from low cognitive abilities will be enhanced. Trials with the proposed algorithm detected obstacles and avoid them in 80% of trials with different objects and generated safe paths for the interface user.
