Extract

This paper describes the first prototype of the robot system ‘MASTER’ for helping disabled people. The results of evaluations after one year of experiments in French rehabilitation centres are reported. Following comments and criticisms by staff and users, many improvements were made to the first version and have been taken into account in the design of a new version which will be evaluated in 1992–93 in French and European projects.
