| Abstract: | A system and interface were made for a client to control an assistive robot arm using gaze on a 2D web interface with the goal of allowing them to drink freely. The system was built upon prior work, extending it with improved gaze-controlled interfaces based on background research into gaze-controlled interfaces and control of assistive robot arms. Two interfaces were produced and tested with different balances between speed and avoidance of accidental inputs. Each interface provides full 3DOF control with the arm facing forward and control commands moving the arm continuously in an axis until the user stops it. The system was tested with 3 participants who gave generally positive feedback and a mixed preference between the two interfaces. A test with the client revealed that the system was difficult and straining for them to use, with the researcher believing that the client may lack the spatial awareness to translate a 2D interface into 3D space. Future research is suggested to create a system which can automatically move the arm to perform tasks. |
