摘要
Technology is an important component in the integration of people with disabilities and older people into society. Traditional assistive devices have been a tremendous positive influence, and there is still room for improvement. However, advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics offer opportunities to transform the abilities of people with physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments. There also exist the need for unprecedented levels of collaboration of between engineers, clinicians, scientists, and consumers.
