Use of Aerial SARs to Promote Infant Limb Movement
Use of Aerial SARs to Promote Infant Limb Movement
Purpose: We build on prior work on the mobile paradigm to develop and assess the feasibility of a robot-assisted learning environment to promote, via contingent reinforcement, limb movement in infants with or at risk for motor delays. The mobile in our work takes the form of a small aerial robot allowing for motion in different directions, amplitudes, and velocities; thus, providing opportunities for examining the potential ability of infants to alter their limb movements to match various motion patterns by the robot.

Use of Ground SARs to Promote Mobility in Infants and Toddlers
Purpose: We study young children's interactions with mobile and humanoid robots and evaluate the use of these robots in mobility training paradigms for children with or at risk for motor delays.

Body Weight Supported Environments
Body Weight Supported Environments
Purpose: To examine the feasibility of portable open-area body weight support systems for overground variable motor practice in and outside of the lab and to assess changes in the motor performance of children with various mobility challenges.
