An Intelligent Mechanical Aid for Manual Teaching

这项基础工程研究将产生认知康复的新技术。为认知障碍患者制造一种智能控制装置。该仪器将能够分析患者的手臂运动，区分良好和不良的表现，然后指导患者做出更适当的反应。这个装置将能够引导人从未学习和强引导的动作到学习良好和非引导的动作。这项新技术对中风、头部创伤或其他认知障碍的人来说应该是一种有价值的帮助。

This fundamental engineering research should produce a new technology for cognitive rehabilitation. An intelligently controlled device will be fabricated for persons with cognitive impairments. This instrument will be able to analyze a patient's arm movements, distinguish between good and poor performance, then guide the person in making a more appropriate response. This device will be able to guide the person through unlearned and strongly guided motions to well- learned and non-guided motions. This new technology should be a valuable aid to persons who have had stroke, head trauma or other cognitive disabilities.
