Cybathlon锦标赛旨在促进能够满足用户需求的假肢和辅助设备的开发。本文描述并分析了我们团队(REHABTECH)在Cybathlon2020全球版动力臂假体比赛中的经验可能的开发结果,新的假肢系统Hannes.详细来说,我们提出了我们的分析同时进行评估,以验证是否Cybathlon训练和比赛积极影响飞行员的表现和与Hannes的人类技术集成,关于非跑步者Hannes用户。
招募了两名经桡骨截肢者作为Cybathlon比赛的飞行员(飞行员1和飞行员2),并获得了多关节肌电假手Hannes。由于COVID-19紧急情况,只有1号飞行员接受了比赛训练。然而,两名飞行员都把Hannes留在家里七个星期.在这个时期之前,他们都参与了功能评估,实施例,以及与Hannes相关的用户体验(UX),他们在家庭使用结束时和比赛结束后重复了这一点。我们分析了飞行员1的训练和比赛结果,以及并发评估的变化,并将这些结果与飞行员2的结果进行了比较。
Cybathlon训练逐渐改善了飞行员1的表现,在任务5中只有一个错误导致第六名。在并行评估中,随着时间的推移,两名飞行员都有了整体的改善,而飞行员2经历了实施例的恶化。详细来说,1号飞行员跟随训练并参加了Cybathlon比赛,以更大的方式改进。
Hannes被证明是一个有价值的竞争者,并以类似人类的行为进行控制。积极参加Cybathlon的飞行员1的改进更高,在功能方面,实施例和UX,这可能取决于他的训练和参与在比赛中实现成功的用户-假体交互的努力。基于Cybathlon的任务可以改善假肢使用者的训练阶段,刺激的灵巧,假肢整合,和用户对假体的感知。同样,定时比赛或比赛可以促进和加速学习阶段,提高过程的效率和功效。
Cybathlon championship aims at promoting the development of prosthetic and assistive devices capable to meet users\' needs. This paper describes and analyses possible exploitation outcomes of our team\'s (REHAB TECH) experience into the Powered Arm Prosthesis Race of the Cybathlon 2020 Global Edition, with the novel prosthetic system Hannes. In detail, we present our analysis on a concurrent evaluation conducted to verify if the Cybathlon training and competition positively influenced pilot\'s performance and human-technology integration with Hannes, with respect to a non-runner Hannes user.
Two transradial amputees were recruited as pilots (Pilot 1 and Pilot 2) for the Cybathlon competition and were given the polyarticulated myoelectric prosthetic hand Hannes. Due to COVID-19 emergency, only Pilot 1 was trained for the race. However, both pilots kept Hannes for Home Use for seven weeks. Before this period, they both participated to the evaluation of functionality, embodiment, and user experience (UX) related to Hannes, which they repeated at the end of the Home Use and right after the competition. We analysed Pilot 1\'s training and race outcomes, as well as changes in the concurrent evaluation, and compared these results with Pilot 2\'s ones.
The Cybathlon training gradually improved Pilot 1\'s performances, leading to the sixth place with a single error in task 5. In the parallel evaluation, both pilots had an overall improvement over time, whereas Pilot 2 experienced a deterioration of embodiment. In detail, Pilot 1, who followed the training and raced the Cybathlon, improved in greater way.
Hannes demonstrated to be a valuable competitor and to perform grasps with human-like behaviors. The higher improvements of Pilot 1, who actively participated in the Cybathlon, in terms of functionality, embodiment and UX, may depend on his training and engagement in the effort of achieving a successful user-prosthesis interaction during the competition. Tasks based on Cybathlon\'s ones could improve the training phase of a prosthetic user, stimulating dexterity, prosthetic integration, and user perception towards the prosthesis. Likewise, timed races or competitions could facilitate and accelerate the learning phase, improving the efficiency and efficacy of the process.
