MoMa: An assistive mobile manipulator with a webcam-based gaze control system.

ABSTRACT: Mobile Manipulators (MoMa) is a category of mobile robots designed to assist people with motor disabilities to perform object retrieval tasks using a webcam-based gaze control system. Using off-the-shelf components such as reproducible acrylic and 3D-printed plates, and a webcam for eye tracking, MoMa serves as an inexpensive, open-source, and customizable solution in assistive robotics. The robotic system consists of a mobile base that can move forward and backward, as well as turn in place; and a 2-axis cartesian arm equipped with a claw gripper that opens and closes. The simple movement of the robot also allows for a simple control method and graphical user interface (GUI). The user receives information about what is in front of the robot through a mounted camera, and, by
