ASPICE: an interface system for independent life

International audience; In the framework of the ASPICE project, a hardware/software system has been developed, which allows the neuromotor disabled persons to improve or recover their mobility (directly or by emulation) and communication within the surrounding environment. The system pivots around a software controller running on a personal computer, which offers to the user a proper interface to communicate through input interfaces matched with the individual's residual abilities. The system uses the user's input to control domotic devices-such as remotely controlled lights, TV sets, etc.-and a Sony AIBO robot. Preliminary results of a clinical validation are reported.
